Well, it turns out it isn't doing you any favours if you have a sweet tooth and are just eating mediocre high calorie, low-satiety crap the rest of the time; you're better off not eating it at all at that point, adding it was a net negative.

This and the fact many people run around with out of context cliff notes.
I had some idiot tell me that chocolate milk has no added sugar because calcium is naturally sweet.
I had another say that diet pop was great for diets because zero calories.
Another calorie counted, but I'm pretty sure he's on his way to some horrific health issues down the line such as ulcers, high blood pressure etc. because it's feast or famine and starvation (up to 18 hours of "intermittent fasting") prior to a night of insane boozing and zero calorie coffee.
Like, you can't sit down and drill everything down to calorie count and sugar/fat/carb yes/no. It goes beyond that. But no one has the patience.
It's everything in moderation, no one size fits all.
"Yo, eat more pineapple (or X superfood), it's good for you and a superfood."
"I'm pretty sure if I ate only any superfood, I wouldn't turn super or healthy, I'd get diarrhea."
