Fruit Cure

Fruit and nutrition: what a balanced diet can do

Fruit provides water, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and naturally occurring sugars. Eating a variety of fruit can contribute to a balanced diet, but fruit is not a cure-all and does not “detoxify” the body or replace medical treatment.

Variety matters

Different fruits provide different nutrients. Whole fruit generally provides more fibre than juice; choose forms and portions that fit your needs and preferences.

Avoid cure claims

No single fruit or fruit-only regimen can be relied on to cure disease, correct every nutritional problem, or remove toxins. The body’s liver, kidneys, lungs, digestive tract, and other systems carry out normal waste processing.

Personal needs differ

People with diabetes, kidney disease, food allergies, or other medical needs may require individual nutrition advice. A registered dietitian or clinician can help tailor choices.

Safety and limits

Do not replace prescribed treatment with a fruit-only diet, juice cleanse, or other restrictive regimen.
