Your ancestors ate fruit:
— Sama Hoole (@SamaHoole) September 11, 2025
- Once per year when in season
- Small, tart, mostly seeds
- After walking miles to find it
- As survival food, not dessert
You eat fruit:
- Daily, year-round
- Giant, sugar-loaded, seedless
- From your refrigerator
- As a "healthy snack"
Same word,…
GET NUTRITION FROM FARM-DIRECT, CHEMICAL-FREE, UNPROCESSED ANIMAL PROTEIN. SUPPLEMENT WITH VITAMINS. TAKE EXTRA WHEN NECESSARY

ZOE HARCOMBE: [Fruit has] got nothing in the form that the body needs, because it's not an animal food
Dates, more sugar than toffee. --Zoe Harcombe
It's funny seeing so many people getting triggered by the fact that fruit is not good for you. 😂

It's yet another narrative that is tough to overturn because the knee-jerking is next level.

But in terms of the glucose and the fructose, to the body it's the same thing. Now the fruit will come with a little bit more than the sugar, but nowhere near as much as people think. So fruit is essentially sugar and water, like watermelon. And I said this on Twitter recently and oh my goodness, the replies that you get, "fruit is really healthy," and all the rest of it. Oh, why did I do that? I forgot that Twitter gets really upset when you say the absolutely nutritional fact that fruit is essentially water and sugar. And it's got a couple of nutrients or whatever but far from fewer than people think. It's got nothing in the form that the body needs because it's not an animal food. Yeah, it's got vitamin C but yellow peppers have got more. It's just nothing to write home about. I would really struggle to think of another thing other than vitamin C that fruit has got, and again yellow peppers would be better. I love it. I love fruit. That would be my binge food. If I had a binge food, it would be fruit. Dates, more sugar than toffee. I could eat fruit all day long. It's absolutely delicious. It's crunchy. It's sweet. It's refreshing. It's absolutely fantastic, but it isn't the healthiest choice that you can make. And the body knows not where the sugar came from . . .
