But everyone knows that the funniest thing of all is putting something completely out of its own context.

Re: Correct way of eating fruits
I wasn't sure whether I wanted to talk about this cobbled together mish-mash, but I have some free time. When it comes to articles like this, I hate the internet. This is the worst kind of writing to be found anywhere...

Remember that our ancestors were not meat eaters or seed eaters - they were mostly fruit eaters.
Actually we were meat eaters (though admittedly we eat way more meat nowadays). Our bodies are meant to ingest meat. We have teeth for an omnivorous diet, and our body can only get certain nutrients from meat. As far as I know, these nutrients can only be properly processed when delivered in meat. The body is not "meant" to eat many things (processed food ie. junk, agricultural products), but meat is not one of those things (nothing against bread - ohhh man bread is good).
In addition, the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids that a human requires can be derived from fruits.
Aside from, you know, all those other nutrients that aren't in fruit. Ex: if you want lots of iron, you'd be best eating steak or a lot of high-iron vegetables like broccoli.
A survey found that those who eat fruits more at every meal tend to want to eat less in the next meal.
It's awesome when articles mention "a survey" but don't mention where it's from, what it is, or who performed it. Because no one really needs to verify anything.
It was also found that a particular substance in some fruits could cut the risk of heart diseases or heart attacks.
Again, amazing research skillz at work here.
The brain cannot function on anything except glucose. Fruit is glucose in the body.
Holy crap. Did that even make sense?
The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to rot.
Again, I might be convinced if there was some research or explanation to back this stuff up. And it is NOT hard to link to evidence online. That is one of the great things about the internet. The laziness of this article is astounding. Granted it is easier to digest fruits on an empty stomach, but eating them with more complex foods does not destroy their nutritional value.
Graying hair, balding, nervousness, outbursts, dark circles under the eyes - all these will not happen if you take fruits in an empty stomach.
Holy ass.
Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients.
More incredibly bad advice. If you boil them, the nutrients (vitamins specifically I think) of both fruit and vegetables are lost to the water. However, if they are steamed or grilled, they are just as good. And taste better usually (cooked tomatoes knock the pants off raw tomatoes).
But if you should drink the juice, drink it slowly. Because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.
Why? Please tell us! There is again no problem here. Sometimes chugging back a cold glass of orange juice is the only thing you want to do. Saliva helps to break down food, so it's good to chew so you don't choke and die. But drink? No, there's no problem here.

Oh. That explains everything.

Man. That took way too long.
