Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to the Frugivore Diet. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member).
I have been vegetarian for 11 years (since I was 12) mostly because I don't like the idea of eating something that can bleed. I went back to being vegan a few months ago and have been LFRV for the past few weeks.

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
I would like to learn more about the diet and to get more information. I heard Durianrider's debate with FreeAnimal and I was intrigued. I would like to know more. I plan on starting "Skinny Bitch" as my next book. Thanks for all you do!
The Frugivore Diet is a fruit-based vegan internet community which promotes a high carb fruit based vegan lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to this. Nor do we allow endorsement of non-vegan items or practises which involve the imprisonment, exploitation, abuse or murder of sentient beings. We also require our members to post with proper netiquette. Therefore, please indicate your intention:
I will comply because we are The Borg and resistance is fruitile

Hi Lauren, thanks for the friend request :-) have a great day!
Hey Lauren how you are you liking Houston? Will you be doing a pick up with Rawfully Organic this weekend?
Hitherto, the earliest fossils recognized as belonging to the Hominidae, from Fort Ternan and the Siwaliks, have been dated to the Mio-Pliocene. Discoveries in early Miocene deposits at Songhor and Rusinga, Kenya, have made it possible to carry the date of the separation of the true Hominidae from the Pongidae back to the Lower—or possibly Early Middle—Miocene.

Med Hypotheses. 2005;64(2):380.Metabolic acidosis promotes excretion of hydrogen ions(low ph), increased cortisol, aldosterone & ammonia.. Acidosis w/protein-rich diet low in K can increase cortisol & has a direct negative impact on insulin f(x) throughout the body, even modest sustained up-regulation of cortisol may increase insulin resistance syndrome & type 2 diabetes.. Consistent w/reports correlating high potassium or high intake of fruits & vegetables, w/reduced risk for diabetes & CHD.
high-acid foods may contribute to bladder irritation and inflammation. Eliminating various items from the diet and reintroducing them one at a time may determine which, if any, affect a person’s symptoms’ Saudi J Gastroenterol. 2008 October; 14(4): 183–186. doi: 10.4103/1319-3767.41741.
Proc Nutr Soc. 2003 Feb;62(1):31-6.Colonic diverticula.Diverticula are a herniation through the wall of the sigmoid colon and are likely to be a consequence of a weakness in the colonic wall or prolonged exposure to increased intracolonic pressure consequent on a low dietary fibre intake. Adult Africans living in Africa eat a high-fibre diet and are free from diverticulosis. Their colons are stronger, wider and thinner than those Scottish adults of the same age.
"Dietary patterns characterized by a low frequency of meat and potato consumption and frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables and fat-reduced foods are consistent with a decreased risk of colorectalcancer." Flood, A. et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Jul;88(1):176-84.
The onus is on those who claim humans evolved to digest meat differently than the other members of the biological family. I can't prove a negative assertion. I have more citations regarding digestion and disorders among related species consuming meat but not sure what you are looking for exactly. Please feel free to ask specifics.
