Come on, this is not at all what Shelton maintained, & although I'm
only marginally familiar with Kulvinskas' writings, didn't he go in
for sprouts in a big way?  I would classify sprouts as vegetables.
They sure are not fruits or nuts, and they are no longer seeds.

The body has a pool of about 2500 calories of glygogen which it uses
for its energy needs.  Unless you've just fasted for a couple of
days & drained this pool, you have room for only so much of extra
sugars which are taken in & converted to glycogen.  The excess
gluscose will spill over into the bloodstream, where it contributes
greatly to aging/disease.  It doesn't matter whether this glucose
originates from the finest organically-grown tropical fruits, it is
still a nasty substance which does you no good.  Say you have room
for 800 calories before you top off your glycogen stores.  If you
take in more than that at one meal you are asking for trouble.  The
best course is to fast or diet so that your pool is never full &
contains lots of room to handle what you take in at your meals.
Guess what, vegetables are a lot safer in this regard than fruits,
as their calories are absorbed at a much slower rate.
