A health body has a robust metabolic system, and it is supposed to metabolise a wide range of different foods. Optimal nutrition necessitates eating a wide range of food to ensure the body receives its caloric requirements and all its essential nutrients.
May the truth reign.

You're just repeating the things you already think you know rather than trying to learn or fathom anything new. Who says the human body needs what exactly and what condition were the bodies for which that was said anyway? I hope you don't really think the nutrients you mentioned are not adequately present in a frugivorous diet. as you say a healthy body is supposed to have a sound metabolism, so vast amounts of foods with toxic byproducts and disease symptoms are unnecessary and detrimental by design. what is the point of getting a thousand calories or 20mg of iron if you get two cups of acid the body has to dispose of or is unable to dispose of along with them? If the source of nutrient is better then the body wouldn't need to get boatloads just to be able to extract a smidgen. the phytonutrients and biological as well as other activity of fresh produce have been severely overlooked and that can't be swapped out for a bowl of oats or any cooked food that's lost lifeforce or never had the appropriate qualities for human consumption to begin with. sure these things might have a specific profile that looks desirable, but at what cost and what actual effect does it have on a human body? I should however reiterate that herbs are helpful and important for the best lifestyle, and many contain lots of nutrients which are much more bioavailable than cooked food or other inferior sources.
just because something can be eaten, which is almost anything, doesn't mean it was meant to be or should be if you want to live well. You can look at it with the balance of the scales and see how much negative impact a chosen food has compared to the positive impact.. if it's even or there's more toxic byproduct and pestilence created then what is the point? Most cooked, complex carbohydrate, protein-rich and other undesirable foods are harbingers for microbes to infest the body because they are beckoned to clean up the mess that these things create. the microbes in turn eat away at the body too, or the further acids and toxins they create do. whereas the ideal foods and fruits clean up after themselves and others in addition to the other wonderful activity they are responsible for. with a healthier body one can afford to experiment and eat things that are damaging, but most can't afford to do that because their systems are already plagued and bogged down. as I hopefully said early on the high fruit diet does include some young leafy greens, and may not be suitable for long-term in the modern world because we've got things so messed up.. but it is extra important for people, including clean-eating vegans or vegetarians, who are still not feeling well after all the work and commitment they've dedicated, because a diet high in all kinds of vegetables or any cooked foods cannot truly heal most of the damage that's been done due to the modern diet and misguidance
