    > FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread
    > and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight
    > through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing
    > so.

    > In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The
    > minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and
    > digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.....
    > 
    >  
    > 
    > So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You
    > have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when
    > I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like
    > running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat
    > the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other
    > food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

    > 
    > Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes
    > all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

    > There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,
    > because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr..

    > the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty,
    > longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

    > When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT
    > from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat
    > cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get
    > to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
    > 
    >  
    > 
    > But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice.. If you
    > should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because
    > you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on
    > a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit
    > juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends
    > tell you how radiant you look!

    > APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low
    > vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the
    > activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon
    > cancer, heart attack & stroke.
