Does Ms. Wood have a background in nutritional science?  I have found that many raw leaders do not know much in this regard and have gone with their preference and research like any one of us here does.  Everyone knows that fresh-off-the-tree fruits are amazingly rich in nutrients that also rebuild our bodies, and due to the greater digestive ability, I'm sure those nutrients are better assimilated.  

But, I do recognize that a lot of sweet fruit does not do me well unless I exercise like crazy beforehand.  I always think we should go with how we best feel (with inner knowing and our body's reactions, of course), so if more good fats are great for people (and I find citrus is so lovely in a diet with extra fats), then good!

Hi Californiaglee, I think that Kate was referring to the under-ripe, over-packaged tropical fruits that end up in the supermarkets here in the UK after travelling half way round the world. So different from picking your own ripe fruit straight from the tree.

Beckyji, your eating plan sounds great. Very balanced and nourishing. Hope your chest clears up very soon.

Wow-Rudi, all in one day thats brilliant. Yesterday I did about 8 k bushwalk, half of it continuously uphill-it was hardgoing and even though not such a long distance, took an hour and 40 min.
