My 14 yr old does not eat fruitshe suffers twitches that doctors think might be associated with epilepsy Could it be the lack of fruit?

You are best to talk to your doctors about this. However, a lack of fruit would not in itself be a cause of epilepsy. The epilepsy, or whatever is causing the twitching, is likely to be down to something else. In relation to the fruit, their advice to you would be to have your daughter look after her health generally, which would include having a good diet.
