""Fruit upsets the blood sugar level and causes insulin release." that's patently false, as measured by people who've actually measured the response to fruit. Many fruits are actually relatively low-glycemic. "Taste" is not an indicator. Beef can raise insulin response more than raw sugar...

"little world of mainstream, pill pushing MDs." Yes, the US medical system has problems; however, if you explore how effective his advice would be with respect to the entire US population, it would NOT work. The amount of carbohydrate consumed in the form of grains FAR exceeds that of fresh...

He states: "This section incorporates our own research findings and that of many others who have worked with many fruitarians and others who eat or have eaten a lot of fruit for a period of some years, in most cases." So, he is observing people who are eating very high carbohydrate diets...

"large hypertrophic deficiency" what do you mean? (and why is it obvious)
