Fruit is the perfect fast food. It is perfectly cooked by the sun, so much natural water, and comes in it's own package.

[@Jyeah89]

you always look so happy and excited to share stuff with us!

[@Candylandavenue1]

Im on an all fruit diet along with herbs to heal naturally from cancer. Not doing any medical treatments. I feel better than I've ever felt.

[@thumptank]

Hope you don't go the way of Steve Jobs... Please take medically approved treatments for cancer and supplement it with your fruits and herbs if you like.

[@taintmueslix]

are you in remission?

[@Candylandavenue1]

@@taintmueslix not that I know of. I’m getting checked again in September to see if I’ve made any progress. If not, I’ll just keep going with what I’m doing. I’m not getting any treatment or surgery.

@@Candylandavenue1 sugar is cancer's preferred fuel. of course you can't eat zero sugar, but a diet of predominantly raw non-starchy vegetables would contain the highest amount of anti-cancer nutrients and the lowest amount of fuel for the cancerous growths you do have

[@barbettecaravaggio7675]

fruits AND veg are great! what may help is adding legumes and whole grains... these thing are associated with favourable outcome in basically ALL studies...

[@melissasmith7317]

I love your balanced approach!!!

Thank you! John For Sharing 😍

I have been having chronic sinusitis for over 4 years now and fruit is not good for me. I was living off of fruits and it didn't help. Herbs and greens is the way to go for my body's state.

[@DoctorRevers]

….or, Is optimal food good or bad for you? ;) Crazy that some people today actually think fruit has too much sugar and keep them out of their diets. Uneducated misunderstandings.

[@lumumba6865]

Good stuff

[@sammakesitsimple6827]

I agree with 90 percent of what you said, and 100 percent of your concept. Thank you!!! More of this info is needed in the health space! (the idea of "it depends!")

[@juanitaleal7547]

Fruit is the most nutrient food humans can eat according to human biology and chemistry.

[@taintmueslix]

not according to chronometer. enter 2000 calories of various fruits and 2000 calories of various raw vegetables and you'll see how much more nutrient-dense vegetables are than fruit

[@showbread9366]

@@taintmueslix calories & nutrients are synonymous?

[@taintmueslix]

@@showbread9366 no they're not

Is it still better for people that work overnight to eat sugar and carbs in the morning? Does the circadian rythm change if you sleep all morning?

[@angelocarrion3399]

Durianrider adds sugar to water and his fruits and cereal. He doesn't see seye to eye with most others on this issue

[@pureblood6492]

he also has all fake teeth

[@dopamin_express]

The answer is simple : The dose makes the poison. The recommended maximum amount of fructose per day is 25 grams (0,033 lbs Pound). Excessive consumption leads to liver stress, rising blood lipid levels and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, I do not juice fruit (exception : pomegranate and watermelon in summer), but only vegetables.

[@owwwkinky]

Blending ok?

[@dopamin_express]

@@owwwkinky better than juicing because the fructose content is lower. It‘s best to eat fruit unprocessed, because it‘s easier to control the amount of fructose.

[@amyrorris569]

Wonder how much fruit would be 25 grams. Interesting comment! Ty

[@BintGumby]

God bless you John! I wish i knew where you got those figs from?
