Why is an apple a more nutritional choice than candy?

Candies are built up manly of sugars and addatives that, when eaten, provide bursts of energy to the body. But, when the sugars are not used they are converted into fats in the bloodstream and can cause heart attacks. Apples contain vitamins that keep the body strong and can help clear away these fats. Apples also provide energy, but from proteins and carbohydrates that do not convert to fat when not used. This energy is also burnt over a period of time rather than instantly.
