On which basis do you hold this view? There are quite a number of
pure fruitarians in Germany (often the "patients" of Helmut
Wandmaker in our group, for one) who not only live but also thrive on this
diet. Readers letters in our journal undermine this. Leaving aside
vitamin B12 (a deficiency of which none of the fruitarians reports
having) what do you feel is missing or low in this diet from the
point of view of nutrients? I am not a pure fruitarian BTW as I
can't afford to eat quality fruit each and every day from Orkos
etc.. I eat fruit only for breakfast and then nothing until around
18:00 hrs (when eat eat raw veggies...and wild plants when in
season..dressed with a quality cold-pressed oil).
