the use of fruit is usually to post for a photo that will be slapped on the packaging but thats where its involvement ends - no fruit inside just refined sugars, artificial colourings, flavourings and GMO animal products usually.

Not gonna aswer any of these either. Just consider that with good things like fruit, a lil bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing.

It could negatively affect candida and bloodsugar/diabetes. 500 calories is much more fruit than most SADers eat. Combining high fruit/high fat is bad news. 

Weight, body fat, muscle mass, I can't see how those would be significantly affected. If anything it would assist with weight loss because perhaps the carbs would replace calories that would otherwise be from fat.

On average, I don't think it will affect most people in good health negatively much. Only if they have severe diabetes. Breakfast would be best. There are people on standard omnivore type diets who do eat lots of fruit especially the tropical permaculture guys .
