Bullshit. Day 1 (feeling okay). Did you know an all-fruit diet can lead to brittle hair, low blood pressure, even pancreatitis? In a week, can a diet of 30 apples, 40 bananas, and 15 green smoothies really work for your body? If you ask Ashton Kutcher at the moment, the answer would be a resounding "NO"! The actor, who plays the maverick Apple founder Steve Jobs in a biopic, had to be hospitalised recently after following a fruits-only diet. To get under the skin of the character, he followed the fruitarian diet like Jobs did. The result was intense stomach pain followed by hospitalisation, and a diagnosis of pancreatitis. Latest studies suggest that a fruits-only diet almost never works in the long run and plays havoc with the body. In fact, according to alternate medicine advocate and supporter of rawism and fasting, Herbert Shelton, there were a few serious problems with people who attempted a fruitarian diet (even on high-quality seasonal fruits). He wrote in Hygiene Review, "Bad nails, gingivitis, dental caries, dry skin, brittle hair, lowered red blood cell count and low haemoglobin, were the problems that people following this diet faced. Many of them displayed serious signs of neurological disorders, emotional upsets and extreme nervousness. Another cardinal lack that occurs quite often is a distinct lack of vitamin B12." If you thought you could attempt a fruits-only diet for a few weeks to crash diet, dropping the idea immediately would be wise.
