"Too much of any good thing ... can be dangerous
Wight gain
The food contains calories and eating too many calories-even of healthy foods-leads to weight gain. Calories can be divided into healthy calories and unhealthy calories, and fruit is a healthy source of calories. That's as true of dried fruit as fresh fruit.
As dried fruit is so much smaller than the fresh fruit it's easier to consume a lot of calories eating dried fruit. Which eventually leads to gain unwanted weight
Added sugar
A big matter of concern is that these days any kind of dry fruits available in the market are added with artificial sweeteners and added sugar and it is going to be a real health hazard for you
The health benefits
Any Dried fruits contain more fibre and antioxidants called phenols than fresh fruit
Fiber fights heart disease, obesity, and mostly it fights against colon cancer And People with diets rich in plant phenol , have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and a new study even indicates having dry fruits reduces possibly degenerative brain diseases also.
