YOU ARE WELCOME! I ALMOST GET THE HANG OF THE SWEDISH THING. IT'S NOT THAT HARD IF YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF SOME ENLISH, GERMAN AND DUTCH.

Desmond, they tell us here in the US to eat more fruit and veggies. But the American diet is crap too.

I need to eat a certain amount of fruit or drink a certain amount of fruit juice because I have a hard time holding on to vitamin C. I'm constantly battling mild cases of scurvy.
But then I'm also a Gastric bypass patient, so I have to keep and eye on everything.

Yes of course, if you have problems with your body you need to do some things to hold health. But most scientists and alike are pretty stupid and can't see the whole picture.

For example, Opticts. When you need glasses the "docktor" gives you the exakt "sharpness" that you need to see good. Thats stupidity. The smart ones gives you the glasses that are a little wrong sharpness so that your eyes can work a little and you will actually improve your sight. If you do this step by step you will soon not need glasses at all.

The dentists tells to eat fruit cous thats what there parants told them. But when the patients tooth get eaten up by accids from the fruit, they will tell different. And by the way, the same acids destroy your stomach too. Have you ever felt bad in the stomach after eaten a green apple? If you have, you should listen to your bodys reactions.

Humans are predetors. We are made to kill animals and eat there meat. We are not made to eat fruit and grass. We can eat it, but we are not made for it. (and I don't say we don't should eat vegitables. Just be carefull with it and know what we eating. We shouldn't stop eating meat and think beans is the same. It isn't.)

April, dont C-vitamins as pills work?

Then of course there are people who believes that you can gain perfect health trough meditating. And I'm truely open for that. If you beleive it is a possibility it is one. And if it is a possibility it may be reality.

"Humans are predetors. We are made to kill animals and eat there meat. We are not made to eat fruit and grass. We can eat it, but we are not made for it.

i kinda disagree with you there on one thing.

a lion is MADE eat meat. a lion cant eat grass, fruits and veges. a lion is a cranivore animal.

humans are omnivores. we are made to eat meat AND we are also made to eat fruits and veges.

i believe we need to keep a balance on both meats and fruits/veges.

True, but we can do survive pretty long on only meat. But we canot survive veary long with only vegitables (And I mean what grows naturaly in your nature. not imported) Like here we grow much potatoes. But potatoes should not be here. We imported it long time ago though we was poor and potatoes filled our stomach.

The poor eate many vegitables. And the rich eate almost only meat. The knights eate almost only meat.

Let me put it like this.
With meat, you will live. Meat includes all you need to survive. (of course you need water to)

But, if you have vegitables (I recomend the green ones and no fruit) you will dramaticly improve your health. but you cant live on it if you don't import.

But of course My point of seing it is from a non modern world. Today we have imported, first by ship and now by plane. And well. Maybe we was created to do that to. And that is the only weak spot in my theory. My theory is mostly based on our base. Not who we actually are. So yeah, you may call it unrealistic or unrelevant. (I know I would if someone else told me) But it works for me

you are the only person i heard say fruits are bad!!!

well, everyone has their healthy food choices that they are comfortable with and thats never a problem.

I would mention Macrobiotics at this point then, since it has many adherents throughout the world, and where fruit at the levels we in the west consume it, and are being urged to consume it, is a very bad thing.

This is also the basis of the diet for some of the longest living people on the planet.

Being aware of this perspective should help to balance out only being aware of one person who thinks a lot of fruit is bad.

Not that I'm following a Macrobiotic diet though, I'm just mentioning it to demonstrate that, like so many dietary fads, the current fruit fad is just a fad.
