Top Ten Reasons Why we are Natural Fruit Eaters

[Guest guest]

" Top ten reasons why we are natural fruit eaters

and why eating lots of sweet fruit is safe and

completely natural for healthy people. "

 

Raw sweet fruit is the staple food for humans.

We can and should eat lots of vegetables, leafy

greens and some nuts and seeds. But sweet fruit

is the best thing for healthy humans. Here's a

list of ten reasons, why I believe that to be the

case.

 

Top Ten List:

 

1. Fruit has beautiful attractive colors and

scents. It tastes great and it's easy for us to

get.

 

2. You feel happy after eating fruit. Raw fruit

has a special electrical charge or something

about it that makes you feel happy when you eat

it. Cooking, pasteurizing and drying fruit

removes this happiness effect.

 

3. Fruit can make a complete and tasty meal by

itself.

 

4. Fruit is the easiest food for us to digest.

Raw fruit frees up the most energy for us because

it digests in the least time out of any other raw

whole foods. This is why raw foodists who eat

fruit have so much extra energy and why their

bodies can heal.

 

5. We know that early humans were predominantly

fruit eaters.

 

From " Fit for Life, " by Harvey and Marilyn

Diamond, page 62.

 

On May 15, 1979, The New York Times ran a story

on the work of Dr. Alan Walker, an eminent

anthropologist at John Hopkins University. The

story was a bombshell for those doctors,

dietitians and nutritionists not aware of the

immense importance of fruit in the human diet.

Dr. Walker's findings indicate that our " early

human ancestors were not predominantly meat

eaters or eaters of seeds, shoots, leaves or

grasses. Nor were they omnivorous. Instead they

appear to have subsisted chiefly on a diet of

fruit. " Dr. Walker developed a fascinating way of

determining dietary trends by studying the

striations, or markings, on teeth. All foods

leave distinctly different markings on teeth. In

his studies of fossilized teeth, Dr. Walker noted

that, to date, " No exceptions have been found.

Every tooth examined from the hominids of the

twelve-million year period leading up to Homo

Erectus appeared to be that of a fruit eater. "

 

6. Our closest primate relatives the Chimpanzees

and the Bonobos naturally eat a high fruit and

low fat diet. The digestive systems of these

primates are very similar to our own. The DNA of

the Bonobos is at least 99% the same as that of

humans.

 

7. Most fruit are low to middle on the Glycemic

Index. Even bananas are considered on the low end

of the Glycemic Index. According to the book,

" The New Glucose Revolution, " bananas are a 51

with foods 0 - 55 considered on the low end of

the Glycemic Index. Intermediate is 56 - 69 and

high is 70 or higher.

 

Cooked starches and complex carbohydrates are

often much higher on the Index than raw fruit. It

used to be believed that complex carbohydrates

break down into blood sugar much more slowly than

simple sugars, but it is now known that there are

many other factors that affect the Glycemic Index

of a food. Cooked starches have been shown to

cause hyper and hypo thyroid problems as well as

damaging blood sugar metabolism.

 

8. Fruit has the nutrients and fibers to help

slow the absorption of their sugars into the

bloodstream. This creates a steady rise in blood

sugar in people with a healthy blood sugar

metabolism. Diabetics are now given fibers such

as guar gum to slow the absorption of sugars from

their meals. Guar gum is naturally present in

bananas.

 

9. Fruits are very high in antioxidants and

phytonutrients that have been shown to prevent

cancer and heart disease. A tomato contains over

10,000 phytochemicals. Animal foods have low to

no levels of these nutrients.

 

From " Eat to Live, " page 53: The greater

quantity and assortment of fruits and vegetables

consumed, the lower the incidence of heart

attacks, strokes and cancer. (This particular

quote is substantiated by six studies he

references in the back of his book. I'll give you

the first one to start out with: Gillman, M. W.,

L. A. Cupples, D. Gagnon, et al. 1995. Protective

effect of fruits and vegetables on development in

stroke in men. JAMA 273 (14) 1113-17.)

 

10. Every cell in the body is fueled by glucose

and most cells by fructose, these sugars are

abundant in raw fruits. Sugar is the bodies

preferred fuel.

 

Fruit is the miracle food for athletes as stated

by the former director of nutrition for the US.

Olympic Team. It provides the fuel needed for

fast acceleration. Fat cannot fuel any kind

anaerobic or fast paced activities like

sprinting, playing basketball or tennis. I've

also found that the more muscle I put on the more

my need for fruit increases dramatically. I never

crave meat, but I do crave fruit after working out.

 

*~*~*

 

I have many more reasons for you to consider the

importance of fresh, ripe, raw, organic fruit

being your number one food choice. They may come

in future issues. By the way, if you can get wild

fruit, that would be the best choice.

I like fruit but I don't like too much sweet after a little bit, so I eat more

vegetables and vegetable fruits than sweet fruits. I don't know if this is

conditioned/learned behavior or if it's truly more natural to not like a whole

lot

of sweet fruit. I know I had a lot of cavities growing up from sugar

consumption, maybe it's psychosomatic. The jury may be out on this issue

for a long time for me. I still like the fruitarian argument that man

originally

would be more attracted to fruit on a tree than a vegetable on the ground.

Then again, now that I've just said it, maybe I don't agree with this idea.

It's

just as easy to pick a vegetable from the ground as it is a fruit from a tree.

How do I join the The Raw Health and Happiness Society, Roger? What is it?

[Guest guest]

I forgot to add, for those interested in fruitarianism there's a group at

www.fruitarianlife

 

I shared on there a while ago, it's certainly akin to the raw vegan lifestyle.

If I

get bored I'll be sure to check back in there.

What is the Raw Health and Happiness Society?

 

That is the raw food support group meetings that I founded in NYC and

NJ. To join you just have to come to a meeting. There is no joining

per se.

 

But the online equivalent is my " Raw Food Diet Success Society, " which

you can find at

http://www.HowToGoRaw.com.

That's a good idea Rachel. I just put it up in the files section so

you can have it for easy future reference.
