Look
around at people you know, and even people you do not know if they are published on their "fruit stance". Ask people you know or casual acquaintances how much fruit they consume.
In general what you will find is that your fruit eaters will have a healthy glow to them (
good for the skin) no matter their weight or age, a sort of healthy and happy look.
People against fruit because of it's high sugar or caloric intake are looking only at one aspect of the fruit story.
Based on my observations people which eat more fruit than normal look younger than they are, and people that eat less fruit than normal look older than they are.
Take for example the male model in the infomercial earlier in this thread. His body looks great, but his face looks his age or worse, he looks older than his age in my opinion.
I look about ten years younger than I actually am, I attribute life long fruit eating for the most part. Sure there are many other factors, but I can actually seen in the mirror and feel it in my body when I need to fruit it up.
One recent conversation I had with someone on this topic pointed out Polynesian and Hawaiian people as big fruit eaters, and the positive affect it has on their skin.

High Antioxidant Fruits & Vegetables

Most people would benefit by eating more fruits and vegetables. Eating generous amounts of fruits and veggies helps the body fight disease, according to Whitney and Rolfes.” Adults should choose 2½ cups fruit and 2 to 3 cups vegetables each day from among colorful plant groups that are high in antioxidants.

Skim the article above, the fruits (berries in particular) have way more antioxidants than most vegetables.
Not from the article but from other reading, the reason the FDA recommends such high serving amounts of fruit is that our food chain is contaminated, highly poisoned. And antioxidants are the only effective means in countering the situation.
Additionally by the same sugar/caloric argument you will find little reason to consume any amount of locally sourced raw honey. I put a tiny amount in my 1/2 cup of morning coffee, the size of a pea or two.
In my opinion middle aged "male models" look best with their shirts off because with their shirts on they look like the rest of us, only a lot more tired and drained looking. And it's not the low body fat which accounts for this, it's staying away from natural sugar sources (
rich in antioxidants) in pursuit of the washboard 6-pack abs.
