Monkeys at a UK were put off “human” bananas and developed diabetes[1]. Fruit is healthy desert not - like vegetables - main course.

Fruits are very low density thanks to all that water and undigestible fibre. You would get hella bored eating enough fruit to make it problematic. There's 9g of sugar in an orange, and a can of coke has 39g. You'd have to eat a pound or so of oranges to equal a single can of coke. The issue isn't the fruit.
