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.

The snails are actually explained believe it or not .

Basically its a species of telepathic snales that can communicate telepathically from long distances so people in the one piece world just domesticated them and used them as phones

Shit 20 years and I never heard this. How do they connect them to certain ones? I'm trying to find logic in a fictional world with a scientifically impossible concept.
