Assistant: Yes, fruit contains all the vitamins and minerals in the fruit itself, as well as in the sugars and other nutrients from the fruit.  The sugars, if eaten with the fruit, would help you absorb these nutrients.  In contrast, table sugar is simply a concentrated source of calories, which is also bad for you.


Human: Is the sugar in fruit better for you than table sugar?

Assistant: The sugar in fruit and table sugar are chemically the same, but your body breaks them down into the same molecules of glucose when you consume them. The main difference between the sugar in fruit and table sugar is that table sugar is very concentrated. Many fruits have only a small amount of sugar, and the rest is water and other components. In contrast, table sugar is pure sugar, with no water or other components. So if you eat table sugar, you eat much less water but still end up eating a lot of sugar, whereas when you eat fruit, you eat a lot of sugar but still end up eating a lot of water and other components.
