You said that already--no need to start a new thread over it.

Being synonyms, however, does not mean they can be used interchangeably.
Most dictionaries will tell you "talkative", "loquacious", and "garrulous"
are synonyms but their nuances are quite different.

Synonymous does not necessarily indicate equal... here each word confers
different implications., ie. a food can be wholesome but not necessarily
healthful, and vice versa. <shoofly pie can be wholesome but not healthful>.
Many so-called comfort foods are wholesome but not necessarilly healthful. A
food can be healthful (milk) but not necessarily wholesome (soured). A person
can engage in healthful activitiy but that activity may not be a wholesome
activity, ie. a guy fornicating with his neighbor's wife/daughter/mother. See
the difference?

M-W

HEALTHFUL implies a positive contribution to a healthy condition <a healthful
diet>.

WHOLESOME applies to what benefits, builds up, or sustains physically,
mentally, or spiritually <wholesome foods> <the movie is wholesome family
entertainment>.
