Just because a food came from a vegetable does not mean that it still retains the same nutrition. Corn syrup does not have the same value as corn, just as the first most obvious example. Nobody is worried about their source material "by weight". People are worried about whether there is any actual nutrition value in the food.

We can worry about that without saying, "These substances would not be found in our kitchen." It's either false or misleading.

I'm guessing these quotes are taken so far out of context that they've become meaningless. It's possible the speaker was referring to something specific with "these substances", but we'll never know by reading the article.
