Are there any studies on a fruit based vegan diet?

Kind of makes sense to ask the question since so many on this board are prospering on that type of diet, high fruit, greens, limited nuts and seeds, monomeals. Just curious has anyone studied 80-10-10 or a fruit based vegan diet for health outcomes? If so what was the result?

David Mason, a long time fruitarian, volunteered to have his blood etc tested at Hippocrates when they were trying to prove that a fruit based diet had major deficiencies. If I recall correctly he was deficient in absolutely nothing, a bit low but normal in one or 2 areas. Perhaps those posts are still on this forum somewhere.

That doesn't really prove anything except that David Mason was in excellent health but still, I thought it was wonderful just the same.

I don't know if there are studies of the 80-10-10 that you seem to be describing, but there are limited studies on raw, vegan diets. I'm not sure what you are looking for, but this list may help you get started looking: [health101.org]
