Some people cut out dairy. For others, it’s gluten, or maybe cafeine. While these aren’t necessarily the healthiest of decisions for everybody, they’re generally accepted in today’s world of dietary restrictions and rising intolerances.

Nonetheless, the past few years have seen declining fruit consumption alongside a rising trend for eliminating fruit from the diet as part of a sugar-cleanse – often fuelled by so-called ‘health’ bloggers. According to figures from Public Health England, only 31 per cent of adults and eight per cent of teenagers are eating the minimum five-a-day of fruit and veg.
