Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has reportedly “died of starvation” after subsisting exclusively off a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family.
She was 39.
The Russian national — who frequently promoted raw foods on social media where she was known to her millions of viewers on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram as Zhanna D’Art — reportedly died July 21 after finally seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia, according to local media outlet reports.
“A few months ago, in Sri Lanka, she already looked exhausted, with swollen legs oozing lymph,” one unidentified friend told Newsflash. “They sent her home to seek treatment. However, she ran away again. When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified.”

“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.
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!

She really should have ruminated on that fact.
Moderation and diversification, tried and true principles.
We are designed to eat cooked foods. Our guts, our teeth all say this.
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”.
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.
Female Iggy Pop?...
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.
Umm…she can’t answer you. :)
