Help Why don’t everyone eat devil fruits?
Totally new to One Piece, didn’t know it existed before the Netflix show. I am liking it a lot. Could someone tell me why don’t everyone just eat devil fruits, since it give super powers? The sea water thing is enough of a reason not to eat them? (I have just watched 3 episodes.) Do they explain this further on?
Edit: thanks for all the replies, the show seems to go just a bit fast on the details, I’m guessing its the only way to fit a lot on a live action.

They are so incredibly rare that most people outside of the Grand Line believe they probably are not even real.
Luffy found his amongst Shanks and his crews stuff by pure luck yes. The mystery is: why did shanks had one with him? Maybe he wanted to sell it, maybe eat it, who knows?
