Why does Rev. Malkmus say people with cancer and other problems should avoid fruit?
If a person has candida, diabetes, hypoglycemia, or cancer, Rev. Malkmus teaches that avoiding fruit is sensible because of the high sugar levels of modern fruits. People with these conditions often limit themselves to a vegetable diet until their conditions improve and then they gradually add fruit. Rev. Malkmus currently teaches that fruit may encourage the spread of cancer cells. This is based on the research of Nathan Pritikin, Stanley Bass, and the science of macrobiotics. On the other hand, many alternative health authorities say fruit is fine. Like so many other controversial issues in the health field, each person has to make his/her informed decision on the issue of exactly what to put in his/her body.
