Toxic grammar, need an anti-oxidant

What is this sentence trying to say? I have no idea.

This is a delivery van for a company that sells fresh fruit. Should the sentence be a question or a statement? Grammatically, it is so wrong. Contextually, it makes no sense. How should it read?

My suggestion:

Have you had fruits yet?
Many kinds of fresh fruit are known as anti-oxidants. We eat them to get rid of the toxins accumulated in our bodies from all the other kinds of foods that we eat. I think this company's copywriter needs some anti-oxidants for his English skills, to get rid of all the toxins in his English grammar.

Please do not butcher the English language. Use it correctly.

Happy writing!
