minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoWhole fruits are pretty healthy in reasonable moderation if you gorge on 3 boxes of grapes you’re still gonna have smashed through over a thousand calories The big caveat is fruit juices which remove all the fiber that makes you feel full, particularly anything concentrated. At that point you’re getting closer to a soft drink than fruit (though you’ll still at least get the vitamins)
