Here's a challenge for those who claim humans are natural frugivores:

Please list some of the peer-reviewed, scientific journal articles
that are specifically (and only) about frugivores and/or frugivory,
and for which you have read the full-text of the article(s). Specify
authors, title, journal, and other details. Also specify the date
when you first read the article.  This is a test: are you
speaking from knowledge, or from ideology/religion?<br>

In all/nearly all cases, I suspect you will find that the
fruitarian/natural hygiene "experts" who claim humans
are natural frugivores, in fact have read zero scientific articles on
frugivory! Indeed, if some self-appointed "expert" decides to
run out right now and look some articles up, and if they are lucky
enough to find such articles, they may be shocked as to which field
of the life sciences that such journal articles appear in. (Hint:
it's not primatology.)

PS I will post some cites in a few weeks. I have several such articles in
my files. About 2 years ago I did a small mailing of those articles to
friends who are highly influential in the vegetarian community.
I told them that if they read even one article on frugivory, they would
know more about the subject than any of the raw pseudoscience fakes. :-)
