Fruits are a necessary part of any diet. Packed with nutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals, they’re undeniably healthy — so healthy in fact that some people are cutting out all food groups in favor of a fruits-only diet. Among them are the late Steve Jobs and Ashton Kutcher, who developed pancreatitis while on it. The fruitarian diet typically calls on those following it to limit the contents of each of their meals to fruits only.
