"Feeding people twenty servings of fruit a day didn't harm them. Feeding diabetics dates didn't harm them. Meta analyses of fruit consumption show significant mortality benefits that don't go away at the higher end."

I'd like to see references to those studies. The sugar content of fruit, especially fructose, can have negative consequences (even when eating the whole fruit with it's fibre).

Feels like this is more a result of cutting out lots of crap carbs than of adding fruit carbs.

I think that's probably true but I've found it's way easier to substitute fruit carbs for crap carbs than it is to cut out carbs entirely, and that arbitrary amounts of fruit carbs seem basically fine.

"I took something away and added something at the same time and saw benefits. It *must* be the thing I added!"
Bad science imo.

there's definitely still glycemic load problems - you really can't just feed diabetics anything, and there's some interesting evidence that non-diabetics should also eat in terms of insulin performance anyway - but on the whole I believe this: carbs should be paired with fiber
