Over all do you find that fruits are more healthy than vegetables? Do you think that there are more vitamins in one or the other? I know that fruits and veggies are both very healthy for us but I wonder which would benefit us to eat more of.

I do not think one is healthier than the other. Each catergory has their most healthy and least healthy. For example brocolli is much healthier than a iceberg lettuce, which is mostly water. I do think though that fruits have more calories in them then do vegetable, because fruits have more sugars in them.

Thanks for the response. I think you are right. One is probably not healthier than the other. And I guess it stands to make sense that fruits have more sugar content in them. I do try to have my son eat both vegetables and fruit equally.

I think they are both pretty healthy but veggies may have the advantage because they are lower in calories. I like both of them I prefer fruit, but because of my weight
I think that veggetables are a better option. It just depends on the person I guess.
Most fruits have a lot of good benefits going for them.

I think you need a well rounded diet in both of them. But if you cook the veggies then the fruit will be better because the nutrient is not cooked out of it - It is always better to eat it raw!
