Why: Some of you are probably thinking: Hey, what gives? Fruit is healthy! While you are 100 percent correct there, dried fruit is a different story. "Dried fruit is a source of sugar and fiber, only there is no additional water for transport," Goglia says. "Just like juice, dried fruit is highly caloric and spikes insulin levels, which gives you an immediate energy boost followed by a quick crash." Goglia also adds that dried fruit can be disruptive to your digestive tract, causing bloating and gas for many people with irritable bowel syndrome. So, if you're craving fruit, stick to the real stuff.
