What are the health benefits of eating Raisins, anything bad about them?

I eat raisins like everybody and there so tasty.. what is health beneficial about them and what is bad them? They are so tasty and I want to know there pros and cons.. thanks..

Pro: have vitmans (iron, potassium and selenium and also contain vitamin A and some vitamin B) , antioxidants, minerals and unsatured fats(mono,poly), better than snacking on candy (still lots of vitamins even though the drying process gets rid of many). Fructose is better than sucrose (added sugar), sweeter than an apple to satisfy sweet craving, high in fiber

Con: they’re very calorie dense/ super high in calories and full of fructose (sugar) without many of the vitamins and minerals that fruit contain. If you have too many handfuls then you’ll gain weight. Not better than fresh fruit. Grapes are way better, less filling –> causes you to eat more, stick to teeth causes tooth decay, too much gives diarrhea, the vitamins they give you are common in other foods and too much is really bad (potassium, iron, etc)
