so all those wellness influencers telling cancer patients to eat more organic fruit are fucking them up for personal profit, surprise

I hadn’t thought of this from that perspective.

I met a woman who was allergic to the phosphates in fruit. It was so fascinating to hear her story of cutting out foods that she could not eat. I imagine it would be quite time consuming.

I wonder how she arrive at that diagnosis. I would imagine that that would be a very rare allergy.

(Luckily it would not affect me much. Most ripe fruit smells terrible to me, so I find them difficult to eat. Tomatoes, capsicum and both winter and summer squashes are ok, as is cucumber.)

She had had years of testing. I don’t know precisely how she was tested for phosphates. I was just fascinated that fruit was not helpful for some one.
