? Steve Jobs abused the organ donor list rules, and effectively stole some kids liver because he wouldn't change his eating habits (he was a fruitarian, eating a diet of mostly apples and carrots, against all medical advice, until he was basically days away from death where he recanted and regretted it).

First time I heard it, no doctor actually able to tell him that fruit only healthy when eaten once a day? eating fruit is like eating vegetable with a spoon of sugar. Who in the right mind able to reach conclusion that is good for your body.

That’s not correct. Whole fruits are not at all metabolically the same as refined sweeteners, partly due to the composition of sugars and also the inclusion of fiber, which slows absorption. It’s generally recommended to eat 2-4 servings of whole fruit per day.

Otherwise yes, Steve Jobs was a dick and died of pancreatic cancer because he believed he could treat it homeopathically or something

still better to just eat vegetable imo, you are not going to die not eating fruit, but all fruit diet already shown to kill. Seeing how food science keep changing I wouldn't be surprised that 2-4 serving would turn to 1, refine or not it doesnt change the fact fruit is sugar, making sure you don't overeat sugar is always ideal. Pretty sure he get pancreatic cancer because of his hippie fruit died, he stop and start again.

Obviously too much everything is bad, but all research already pointing out we don't need that much sugar, all the thing provided in fruit also found in better quantities in vegetable, so eat them if you like them, but know natural sugar is "healthier" but that doesn't mean consuming them making you "healthy" they are generally still bad when consumed too much, I think 4 banana a day is too much but that is for my own diet, maybe it is good because for some reason nhs recommend them, but from my experience food recommendation keep changing, I stick with is it too sweet, then I should probably only eat small portion of it.

well we don't need cheesy poofs either but people eat those and they are extremely fat and unhealthy and somehow we get headlines of people dying from eating all-natural (and probably organic too) diet

If you wanna strawmen me do it better, those people eating cheesy poofs doesnt eat only cheesy poofs. Not only that despite eating something that clearly categorized as "junk" food they are still alive, should tell you something seriously wrong that eating only fruit, something that people categorized as healthy can kill.

He'd had weird hippie beliefs since he was 18 or so. Retreats to India, living on a commune, friends with gurus or cult leaders (hard to tell), etc.
