You are right. A fruitarian diet does   n o t   work at least not in
the long term. For some weeks, even some months people experience con-
siderable improvements of their health because fruits are detoxing.
Then the time is come to nourish your body again with minerals and
fat, not only sugar and vitamins. There's the point where fruitarian
diets fail.

www.beyondveg.com contains a detailed report of Tom Billings who
wrote about his fruitarian experiences and how they failed despite
best quality, best ripeness (directly from the tree).
