Does anyone have any information on why some people don't like fruit. I read once that it may be related to some sort of allergy. It just seems an unhealthy preference. I'm writing this with my girlfriend in mind. John
what you are probably are thinking of is fructose intolerance or (the weaker and more probable form) fructose malabsorption.. but the reasons why people don't like certain foods can of course be a lot more complex than that.

Fruits are very healthy but they can aggrevate yeast problems (candida albicans) in susceptible people. In the macrobiotic diet eating fruits is discouraged (which is stupid). Those are some reasons for avoiding them. Fruits are high in antioxidant vitamins and phytochemicals and not eating them means limiting the variety of phytochemicals one gets from the diet. Which is obviously not good.

Vegetables and fruits contain phytochemicals which a largely different; they do not overlap much. You can check it from these charts:
Somehow during the evolution the human body has learned to work in unison with a large variety of phytochemicals. It is said that in the cellular level there is much common in plants and humans and the protection that phytochemicals give to plants, they give also to human cells. Getting a large variety of phytochemicals provides a wider antioxidant protection. Also many of the phytochemicals have other biological functions in the body beside the antixidant effect. From various studies it is known that diets with a large variety of plant based foods is associated with longevity. Having fruits as part of the diet helps to achieve this larger variety.

You are picky! I replied at the level you asked the question. It was a conscious choice to post the links of that popular site.
