| That's the problem with the definition of "healthy". No single food is "healthy" on it's own. It's a wrong way to look at it and why most people fail at finding a good diet. There's no super food you can just eat unlimited amounts of. A diet can be healthy if it's the nutrient combination of different foods that result in certain number of calories, protein, fat, carbs, minerals and vitamins per unit of time. |

| Wasn't there just a study, that many fat kids are fat because of fruit juices? Healthy in a way, but surprisingly a lot of sugar ( either added or from the fruits) |

| I think there's a bit of a caveat there, because that basically means eating reasonably high calorie food in sufficient quantities that starts violating the "healthy food" definition. |

| true but you'll struggle getting tons of calories out of whole foods.
This is why mass gainers are popular, underweight people find it hard to gain weight so they dirty bulking using fast food which is often calorie dense. Eating healthy food alone isn't solution, you need to make your life active as well. |

| ▲ | Illotus 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | 8 to 10 oranges per day being healthy or not is largely dependent what else you eat. Biggest issue there is likely teeth decay due to acidity. | | |
| ▲ | chiply314 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | No its not. 8-10 Oranges is too much sugar. Too much sugar hurts your insulin reaction and can bring diabetes. | | |
| ▲ | Illotus 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not really, healthy person can easily handle that amount of sugar. Has plenty of fiber to balance. | | |
| ▲ | chiply314 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I rechecked it and you are right. Its an issue if you drink orange juice not when you eat it. Eating takes longer and is getting balanced from the fiber. |

Same concept applies to water. Drinking too much can be unhealthy as well, but that doesn't change the fact that water is good. |

So healthy food, even if you’re consuming the same calories as junk food, is going to keep you full longer. | |
