Diet: Fad Diets can Kill!

Everything you read about diets should be "taken with a grain of
salt". If something seems too good to be true, or
not plausible, seek other sources, or ask at
http://mayoclinic.com.

You probably have heard about "anorexia", self-starvation, or
"bulimia", binge eating followed by laxatives and/or induced
vomiting. These disorders often affect females with poor self image.
Death can result.

You might not realize that some fad diets are also deadly to health
or to life. Any diet that focuses on just a few foods, or mostly
water or juices, except under personal medical supervision, can
damage critical organs and nerve tissues beyond repair. Don't
willfully make yourself into
a starvation victim.
