escapee, I don't think for a second that fruitarianism is a good idea. However, your quote about more than one apple a day seems misguided.

Eric, Your suspicion on Fruits is RIGHT. One apple a day keeps the doc away , the second or more BRING HIM BACK !!.
Are you joking? eric wasn't asking about fruitariansim. He was asking about avoiding fruit completely. So you actually don't agree with his suspicions if you suggest eat fruit at all.

I thought your quote about the lack of nutrients was good, but the other quotes are poor evidence.

-You quote someone who says "we are not apes," but then you give a dietary study on MICE!
-You gave a quote concerning diabetics. Not relevant at all.
-You have a quote about fruit juice. Juice!=fruit.

I completely support your distaste for fruitarianism, but I don't really think anyone in this thread is arguing for it. If anything, they are just arguing that eliminating fruit altogether is a bad idea and I agree.
