果食主义

果食主义(英语:Fruitarianism)是素食主义纯素主义的一种,主张植物同样具有不可践踏的生命,因此主义实践者只吃植物的果实。果食主义中关于果的定义来自于植物学而非日常用语,也就是说黄瓜茄子蕃茄辣椒等通常不归类于水果的植物学果实是可以食用的。基于各种理由人们选择采取果食主义,包括道德宗教环保文化健康等等。有些人的当饮食超过75%都是由果实组成便自称为果食主义者。[1]

各种水果

定义

有些果食主义者只吃会从植物上自然掉落的食物,也就是不用伤害植物就能收割的食物[2][3][4] ,这些食物主要包括水果坚果种子[5]。根据作者Adam Gollner,有些果食主义者只吃已经掉落的果实 [6] 。也有一些不吃谷物的人,他们相信这是不自然的作法 [7]。有些人则认为不应食用会长成植物[6]、坚果、种子[8]及水果之前的一切植物的种子[9] [10] 。还有人相信应该只吃会在被吃掉后散播种子的植物[11]。一些果食主义者采用植物学的定义食用包括豆科植物在内的果实。也有包括生果、果干蜂蜜橄榄油在内[12],或食用水果、坚果、种子及巧克力的人[13]

动机

一些果食主义者为犹太基督徒,根据创世纪第一章二十九节,他们认为果食主义是亚当夏娃,也就是人类最初的饮食模式。同时他们也相信若要回归一个伊甸园般的乐园,将需要简单的生活与一个完全接纳健康与饮食的方法。[14]有些果食主义者(如耆那教徒)则希望避免杀害包括植物在内的任何生命,而被称为不害的果食主义者。[15]有些果食主义者主张吃植物的果食实际上是帮了它们一个大忙,因为有肉质的果食是演化成适合被动物所食用,借此得以繁衍后代。

科学研究

生物学研究

在1979年,一名约翰·霍普金斯大学古人类学家亚伦‧渥克教授(Professor Allen Walker)回报了一项关于原始人类牙齿珐琅质的初步研究,他发现人类祖先的饮食主要来自于果实。这项发现令他感到非常惊讶。[16]

临床研究

于1971年,一项由B. J. Meyer所主导的短期研究被发表在南非医学期刊(South African Medical Journal)上[17]。内容提到纯果食者其体内的血脂葡萄糖耐受度都有所进步[18]。根据该研究中更进一步的试验,对于一些过重的试验者在尝试果食法之后,其理想体重有下降的趋势。[19]
