The Short Answer:

Absolutely not. Fresh fruit (not dried fruit or canned stuff drowning in syrup) should be a focal point of almost any diet. While it’s generally more caloric than veggies, the amount of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients within mean those calories are going to good use. As for the sugar issue, the fiber content slows absorption. That fiber, along with the water content, also helps to stem overeating (provided you’re not a binge eater—and if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter what you overeat).
