The world isn't black and white. Just because fruit has some healthy aspects, doesn't mean it can't have bad aspects as well. In fact, different fruits have different ratios of fructose to glucose. So you can't even generalize to just fruits. Unfortunately, evolution seems to have chosen glucose as the sugar that makes us feel full and that can be used directly by the body. Fructose has to be metabolized in the liver and doesn't make us feel full as directly. This was a good bet before we started custom making all our food, because most sugar is sucrose anyway, which is a combination of glucose and fructose. Unfortunately, man can now add only fructose to things and the body hasn't evolved to understand that signal. You are still way better off eating fruit than empty calories, of couorse, that is manufactured food with little nutrients or fiber and lots of calories.
