“While a raw foods diet can have multiple health benefits — including weight loss, improved heart health and a lower risk of diabetes — there are downsides to this regimen, especially when not well planned, according to Healthline.

“These include deficiencies in calcium and Vitamin D, which are needed for strong bones. This can also lead to suboptimal B12 levels, which can result in anemia, nervous system damage, infertility and, somewhat paradoxically, heart disease.

“Despite the potential downsides to Samsonova’s diet, many of her devoted followers refused to believe her eating choices led to her death, instead claiming that she was killed by chemicals in the fruit she ate.”

More to follow in her footsteps - genetic selection at work in real time.

I recently read that many of the original settlers in what is now Washington state would go into what is called Salmon Starvation during the huge salmon runs in ancient times.

Salmon meat would be so abundant, and so desirable, that people would gorge on 100% meat for weeks at a time, and then become seriously ill, or even die.

Sounds like Zhanna needed some animal protein and chocolate candy bars!

The ship wrecked passengers and crew of the SS Minnow survived for years on just coconuts.

Humans are omnivores.

She really should have ruminated on that fact.

Moderation and diversification, tried and true principles.

Raw food diet will starve you unless you eat a great deal more then normal.

We are designed to eat cooked foods. Our guts, our teeth all say this.

“I eat simple food, although I have a lot of experience as a raw food chef. I love creating my own recipes and inspiring people to eat healthier.”

How'd that work out for ya?

Not anorexia or bulimia; she ate plenty and liked to eat, just not the right stuff.

“That’s a shame”.

"Walton has since described himself as a “born again capitalist”..."

Funny what a few million in the bank will do to your economic philosophy.

The photo of her sitting under a coconut tree (found at above link), her ankles and feet appear to be badly purple blotched.

Humans are designed to eat cooked food. You need only see the teeth of a herbivore to see that human teeth are incapable of dealing with a raw vegetable diet. Not to mention that we have incisors. Nature didn’t put them there as a fashion statement. But idiots are going to be idiots. Let them.

Excellent. So her disciples will be seeing her soon. These are the sorts of idiots that put their pet cats on veggie diets.

Settlers would also die of rabbit starvation. Rabbit meat is very lean, and you need a minimum amount of fat.

Hmm, she needs a mental doctor.
