How Healthy Is Freeze-Dried Fruit?

EXCERPT: Freeze dried fruit isn’t just delicious, it’s also healthy for our bodies. It contains more nutrients than conventional dried fruit, avoids the need for harmful added sugars and provides a hefty dose of fiber as well. Freeze-Dried Fruit is Packed with Nutrients When you freeze-dry fruits like mango, apples, pears and apricots, you do more than just preserve them. The freeze-drying process also concentrates the beneficial nutrients in fresh fruit, resulting in products that are rich in vitamin C and A. In fact, freeze-drying retains about 90 percent of the vitamins in most fruits, hardly a dent in their health giving properties....

Seems a net loss of ten percent since 100% of the sugar is concentrated while 90% of the nutrients are. I might suspect also that often people don't drink enough water already and freeze dried fruit will tend to increase their hydration deficit. Also, it takes energy to freeze dry, yet is that more than needed to transport water in fruit that hasn't been dehydrated?
