fruit has sugars/carbs. These can make you obese or diabetic if you are also consuming unrefined sugars from other foods.

Vietnam should have plenty of leafy green vegetables - no???

Look - fruit is by design a foodstuff of leasure. Its designed to have you eat it because of its sweetness and "some" vitamins - and expell fast to deposit the seeds along with "other nutrients". Thats why some fruits will give you the runs.

Try to get some greens, carrots, sprouts, leeks, cabbage or whatever else Vietnam has to offer in a balance with the fruit.

yes it matters and have you actually tried this?? Is is very harsh on your stomach. Variety is good by way of digestion and absorbtion of nutrients. Actally a fully balance of veg will include all of the different colors of the vegetables. Just like very few fish cary omega three six and nine. Only some veg carry vit that fruit doesnt and its your ruffage

I am not a doctor.

However, if the fruits you eat are edible then you
should be all right.
