In fairness to Instincto, I would think those urangutans I watched eating fruit probably ate some of the skins along with the fruit. Whether they then picked up a banana, thew out all the skin, and only ate the insides, who knows? Stefan, if you get at stop after eating a fruit with its skin, and then you taste some of the inside fruit, does it taste bad? I would like to ask Mike if he meant there is some connection with eating a lot of sweet fruit, figs I think he said, and a need for the body to detox what was previosly eaten? Could you explain this. My best, Ellie
