I'm not necessarily arguing against this, & for the record fruit is
by far the largest component of my diet.

He was very, very clear in advocating a vegetarian diet, not a
fruitarian diet.

I'm trying to go the other way, toward less fruit, more vegetable.

This is certainly true, and even undegenerated humans have widely
differing constitutions.  Some outstanding work was done on this by
one of the greatest biochemists/nutritionists, Roger Williams
(certainly not into raw).  His "Biochemical Individuality"
[technical] or his "The Wonderful World Within You" & "You are
Extraordinary" [popular works] are well worth reading.  Our
individual nutritional needs have an extraordinary diversity.

Yeah, can you relate it?
