Going on the way our ancestors would most probably have eaten, I would have
thought it would be a natural thing to do to eat fruit after a protein meal,
as this would have been the dessert. Given the anti-oxidant quality of
fruit, this would seem a sensible thing to do i.e. To go along and munch up
the free radicals produced by eating food. I'm probably wrong but this
seemed logical to me. I personally don't get any problems from eating fruit
after meals, neither do I have any problem juicing them all together with
vegetables. I also thought that all food was digested in the intestines,
but broken down somewhat in the stomach. Dee

Some people tolerate mixing fruits with other foods better than others,
but it is much harder on the digestive system regardless, due to the
nature of fruits and how the digestive system works: fruits are
generally digested in the intestines, while more dense foods need to be
digested in the stomach.
But the most important rule is with regard to meolns:
Eat them alone or *leave* them alone.
