I think it's a little misleading to say that "excessive fat" contributes to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. We know that excess of any nutrient is bad for health, but we also know that moderate amount of the bad one is extremely bad for health. When i say the bad one, I 'm referring to trans fats and lipid hydroperoxide ( the evil of all fats ) , Refined carbs, burned protein, toxic chemicals in processed food/drink/air and etc. If you recall what our ancestor used to be eating and the rate of chronic disease at that time, you know that there is huge difference in quality of carbs, fats, protein, vitamin and trace minerals between now and 80 years ago .
Steve, If you can continue continue the high fruit raw diet ( 80/10/10 ~ close to being a fruitarian) for a year without ruining your organ and brain ( made of fats like omega 3 & 6). My hat off to you.
