How were people brainwashed into thinking OJ was "healthy"? It's the closest equivalent to natural candy I can think of. Tons of sugar offset by juicy acidity

Fruit is healthy. It's just fruit.

Whole fruit is healthy. The more processed you go, the less healthy it is. Interestingly, the more processed you go, the more calories you consume, too. You will eat more apple sauce than you will apples.

Exactly this.

Fructose adds to your intake of free (added) sugars. Whole fruit, on the other hand, does not.

Whole fruit contains fibre (roughage), vitamins and minerals, which are good for your overall health. The fibre helps to slow down the speed the fructose is absorbed into your blood stream and can help you feel fuller for longer. This is why it’s better to eat whole fruit, rather than fruit in the form of juice or a smoothie.

Fruit juice and smoothies, on the other hand, have most of the fibre (roughage) removed when they are made and it’s very easy to drink large quantities in a short space of time. This means you could be drinking a lot of extra calories, carbs and sugar.
