A 2023 observational study in Nutrients across 12 countries found that individuals who consumed more fruit had lower BMI, less abdominal fat, and higher satiety levels.
Thanks to fiber, antioxidants, and water content, fruit helps regulate appetite, support digestion, and provide micronutrients—all while being low in calorie density.
Fructose in fruit behaves differently from added sugar—it’s bound with fiber, digested slowly, and promotes fullness.
✅ Conclusion: Fruit is a fat-fighting food, not a fattening one. The fear is fiction.
