I believe it. Some of these new apple varieties are delicious. But that's probably because they're bred to be sweeter, and presumably less healthy. Still better than eating processed junk food, but not as healthy as their less-tasty predecessors!

My kids can't stand them. Too sweet even for them.

Why would [bred to be] sweeter be 'presumably less healthy'?

Sugar even in the form of fructose isn't particularly healthy. Fruit counters through higher fiber for the most part. Ie grapes and watermelon have pretty high sugar content. Still compared to processed food fine but wouldnt want to eat them nonstop
