There is sugar, absolutely. And that’s probably where most of the calories come from. But there is also water, cellulose (fiber), and vitamins/minerals - doesn’t have much non-sugar caloric value to change that balance, but it’s still important. And nobody serious is suggesting you eat only fruit, so you can get non-sugar calories from other sources and it can be balanced in the big picture.
It’s kind of like an appropriate amount of dressing on a salad, the good outweighs the bad and makes you more likely to actually eat that nutrition-positive food.

Is it? I always thought lower life expectancies were dragged down by infant mortality. Basically if you survive the crib you’d likely live into your 70s.
When referring to diseases, yeah, but there was also a lot of death from wars and other violence, severe injuries from dangerous labor, and labor was pretty risky. If one was healthy and avoided injury they were certainly on par with modern life spans.
Yeah, that’s what my dad says, and he’s a medieval historian, so I believe him. I guess it’s possible that lifespan in 1901 was much shorter than the middle ages, but that seems unlikely
So where’s does he claim to only eat fruit?
Are you confusing it with him recommending to use Apple? 😋 (/s)
Also the man was insane. If you based on false beliefs make decisions against professional advice, that are detrimental to your well being, and even put your life in danger, that is AFAIK a very key aspect of being insane.
He was someone who was a fruititarian at various points in his life. He was also someone who didn’t shower at certain points in his life. And he went for alternative medicine when he got sick.
OK, that only confirms to me that he was in fact insane. There is no way we are supposed to eat only fruit, it simply doesn’t provide any real energy, but consumes as much to digest as it yields, meaning there is no way to survive on fruit alone.
He chose to not listen to medical advice for cancer and instead dragged things out with ‘alternative medicine’ long enough that real medical treatment wouldn’t be successful anymore but still pulled strings to get a transplant.
Admittedly when I wrote that I had moments like “cellulose is in fruit, right? And that’s fiber?” and when I googled with neutral terms I mostly trusted Google’s AI slop 🤣

Notorious for having lived a long life…
56 is long if you were born around 1901

I’m pretty sure Jobs either didn’t die at 56 or wasn’t born around 1901.
I thought about that as I wrote it! I stand by what I said.

My ex- decided to become a fruititarian, with hopes of becoming a breathitarian someday after reading about a yogi who allegedly had done so.
Emphasis on the ex-.

He was nuts.
With the amount of AI slop out there, in this day and age this is actually a surprisingly high level of trust.

1/2 bottle of Ranch an appropriate amount?
For the first half of the meal, yes.
Are you both from the US? It was rough getting used to how much you all like to drown out the food with various sauces
It’s called: “Fatland”.
