yeah a lot of common foods that aren't sweet are actually fruit, but many of the sweeter ones are actually the healthiest. The body actually appreciates the simplicity of the sugars in sweet fruit. though if you look deeper there are different categories of fruits for proper food combining and the sweet fruit category only includes a handful, such as bananas and dates, which are not the healthiest fruits (though they still are very beneficial) partially because they have a lesser water content, so I am speaking about general sweet fruits such as berries, grapes and mangoes as the best choices. Berries and other juicier fruits have more astringent quality too which is highly cleansing. Part of the purpose of fruit is cleaning out the body, and that is what makes them superior to many other food options. The sugars in them get digested and utilized quickly, and the side effect is positive with their other antioxidant and astringent qualities, etc.. Sugar is a form of carbon, and we are carbon lifeforms.
Yeah a lot of people may have problems initially starting on a high fruit diet, for a number of reasons. One most common issue is not combining them properly, ie you're not supposed to mix super sweet fruits like bananas with more acidic fruits like citrus. You can imagine how that poses a problem. But when consumed properly, the acidity from fruits is what makes it extra cleansing and has an alkalizing effect on the body rather than an acidifying one. Contrarily high sugar starch foods, especially when cooked, generally result in acid ash and of course they're much harder to digest, which tends to create even more acidity. and the body has to break down the more complex carbohydrates before it can even use them as the simple sugars or monosaccharides the body uses for energy. Same thing with high protein foods, the body must break them down into individual amino acids before it can get energy from them, so the result is extra taxation on the system and unnecessary energy expenditure just to digest them.
That is why proper food combining is important, because if you eat a starch or protein which the body needs certain conditions to break down, and then try to eat rapidly digesting fruit or other foods, both or either of the foods end up fermenting and putrefacting, causing even more calamity. Drinking water or other liquids too close together as your meals also poses a similar threat interfering with digestion and gastric juices and all that. They always serve water and ask a guest what they'd like to drink with their meal at restaurants and we grow up this way in our homes more often than not, so societally we have no clue that it is detrimental to our health. When consuming a high fruit and raw diet much of the water you need is in your food and that water has been specially structured so you don't need to drink as much outside of your food, but many other food options have little to no water content and dehydration risk is increased.
The other thing about a high fruit diet, is that it is so detoxifying and regenerating so there are likely going to be herxheimer reaction side effects. Most people's bodies are very toxic and have a lot of tissue and organs that need to be repaired, and fruit is the expert at this, but the body is designed to sacrifice the dead or damaged tissue that it can't easily enough fix, so there are all sorts of detox symptoms that may happen in the process. But this is important and an unfortunate aspect of deep healing and rejuvenation. Many people feel better and notice all sorts of issues (and "diseases") disappearing as they continue on a fruit diet, but everyone is not braced for how difficult the journey may be, because we don't realize how much in disrepair our bodies are to begin with. Adding herbs along with fruit, or any diet, is a wonderful way to increase healing even further and likely help mitigate some of the side effects that present when the body tries to make itself over. Tissue regeneration is key, and I wish I could say that happens overnight, but it will take time and dedication. Adhering to the native human diet and honoring nature otherwise is the best way to heal the quickest and most successfully. because it is part of our job here on Earth to honor our connection to it and its and our design.
