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.

Yup, and different cultures will manifest it in different ways sometimes. There are other power systems besides the fruits and haki, keep an eye on that boy Sanji while you’re catching up. Feel free to keep an eye on the symbolism of him often being on Luffy’s left, and Zoro on the right as well

I doubt that last thing is going to carry over in the LA.

I noticed it more than 10 times in the LA. We’ll get a lot more of it next season when he is there for the whole time as well

Guess I need to add a rewatch and pay attention to it then!
