> And despite the fact that, as one endocrinologist and diabetes expert told Levinovitz, the only definitively established metabolic difference between fruit and candy is that “it’s a lot easier to eat tons of candy than it is to eat tons of apples.”

That endocrinologist must not think there is any value in fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants et al. Yes, lets all just eat 300g sugar, 100g oil and 100g whey protein powder every day. Clearly a recipe for poor health.

Reductionist thinking glosses over the details that are important for health.
