Are humans actually frugivores?

2 posts in this topic

So I am somewhat confused in the face of the overwhelming evidence that humans may indeed be frugivores by design, meaning a creature that is designed for a diet based around fruits and leafy greens.

Also there seems to be a serious lack of evidence to suggest that we are actually omvinvorous, something everyone takes for granted as being the truth. Just because we can eat something doesnt mean it is optimal or natural in anyway.

I have been eating a fruit based diet for over a year now and do feel very good on it, it seems to make so much sense aswell. Fruit is the only food that is appealing to us in its raw natural state, it is proven to be the most digestible food for humans and it meets out specific nutrient needs very well.

Im curious what others have come to on this conclusion? I am genuinely in search of the truth on this matter so I can align my lifestyle and diet with it.

 

Here is some evidence, but do your own research and let me know what you think:

Greens maybe. Fruit no.

At least for humans who lived in most of Europe and North America. Fruit is only ripe and available within a small window of a few months each year.

What we know as fruit today is not what fruit has historically been. It's all been selectively bred and genetically modified. Apples used to be small and sour, more like crabapples. Wild grapes are so sour that they're almost unpalatable to the average person. Wild bananas are completely packed full of seeds. All full of way more fiber and way less sugar than the fruit we eat today. 

A nice treat for our ancestors a few times per year, but not a staple.
