There’s something comforting about reaching for a piece of fruit. It’s colorful, refreshing, naturally sweet, and has a reputation for being the good guy in any diet. For many people, fruit feels like a guilt-free snack. But can too much of this good thing actually backfire?
Some say yes—and not just theoretically. Back in the day, Steve Jobs famously embraced fruitarianism, a diet based almost entirely on fruits. The goal? To cleanse the body and promote purity. Years later, actor Ashton Kutcher attempted the same diet while preparing for his role as Jobs, only to end up in the hospital with pancreatic issues. Coincidence? Maybe. But it certainly stirred debate.
So, what’s the deal? Is it possible to overdo it with fruit?
