Or worse, actually,” make it into a respected broadsheet like the Guardian?! OK, too much of any sugar is not a good thing but the natural sugars of fruit accompanied by all their living nutrients in an easily digestible 'goo' (which after all is what the stomach would reduce whole fruit to anyway, you've just saved it the job) CANNOT be compared to the manmade nutrient void of Coke! Someone should ask him this: If a loved one of yours was dying of stomach cancer and was very weak, what would you give them for energy - a glass of Coke or a glass of just blended fruit?...."

That's a myth".. Yes to broccoli, cabbage and spinach but I was waiting to hear the virtues of 'all the other sorts of nutrients' and where they can be found. Not, meat and cooked grains, surely not! And yes, a few leaves of lettuce probably doesn't contain many nutrients if thats all you can eat because you're so full up on meat, potatoes and bread. But, a whole lettuce, with spinach in a blended smoothie or in a juice on a daily basis...well thats a whole different story to which many radiant, healthy raw foodists may glowingly testify to! “But it’s not full of all sorts of other nutrients as well.

He has the credibility of GWB, or less. I have to say I am glad he made such outlandish statements, because anyone who has half a brain can work out for themselves that fruit is not worse than Coke, as he suggests. Which means, the head of this nutrition program is either an idiot or a liar. So it will help debunk some people's belief and trust in these "experts". What really annoys me is the pathetic job the Guardian does. They let this fraudulent professor get off scot-free. No, it's the Guardian that I've lost any remaining trust in. They should be ashamed to print this drivel. Sanders is a paid publicist for the breakfast cereals industry. He has the credibility of GWB, or less.

I go by what our closest living relatives, the primates, eat, lots of fruit, greens and insects. And of course it works well for me and many other people. You have got to listen to your own body, not what any so called expert says. If fruit is working for you, keep eating it, if not then try something else.

My name is Alain and I'm from Montreal. Followed a link from your magazine and hit the home button to find your post about fruit.I am fairly new to the raw universe and started eating about 60-70% raw... I've had a lot of time to do research recently and found an hour audio interview about fruit with Doctor Brian Clement of the world famous Hyppocrate Institute.I found it on a British site actually called fresh networks here is a direct link to the audio conference called : fruit weakness and disease http://www.fresh-network.com/teledownloads/0806_dl_8567.htm There is no doubt that Dr.Clement's voice is one of the most important and scientific of the whole movement.He's not as charismatic as let's say, David Wolfe, but the amount of scientific data and personnal knowledge that he has is unsurpassed. Maybe Gabriel Cousens after that I gather from my research so I think he should be listened to. He basically says that our diets should not comprise more that 5 to 10 % fruit and explains why in a very convincing manner.Please let me know what you think Rob. Cheers! and thanx for the free issue of your magazine! Hello Rob! My name is Alain and I’m from Montreal.

My son applied to study Nutrition at King's College. He got an interview but declined as he'd accepted a place at Leeds. What a relief, if that's the level of nutritional know-how. He cannot be serious...can he? Must have been misquoted (musn't he...). Wo - that is incredible! My son applied to study Nutrition at King’s College.
