> Not all fruit nor vegetables are healthy,
Find a single peer-reviewed study that finds any widely consumed vegetable or fruit has negative correlation with all-cause mortality.
> Also coffee is a seed first, and seeds in general are potentially the most toxic,
Legumes, which as a class are seeds, have a very strong inverse relationship with all-cause mortality.[1] There's zero empirical reason to believe that seeds are unhealthy, and very strong reason to believe that seeds, as with any plant-based food, are widely health-promoting.
> And let's not even go into the "are fruits really healthy?" debate which is long
No it's not. Fruit consumption is strongly associated with lower all-cause mortality. Even controlling for vegetable consumption.[2] The science is settled. Denying that fruit consumption is health-promoting is about as scientifically illiterate as denying that cigarette smoothing is unhealthy.

- Tagbert 5y agoMany Legumes are f toxic. Don’t try to eat Sweet Peas. Before domestication beans had to be treated by soaking to leach out the toxic compounds. They only became benign through domestication selecting less toxic versions.
