"This was the fourth known death linked to breatharianism and Jasmuheen's books since the practice emerged in the early 90s." Unlicensed nutrition advice ("eat and drink nothing") causing actual harm ("death") to anyone anywhere ever ("fourth known death")

Of course, she got that advice from a book and documentary. Should the government have the power to ban the sale of unapproved books and documentaries containing medical advice - maybe even the description of unsafe health and nutritional practices full stop?

  That wasn't what the OP was asking. Instead there was some hand-wavy assertion that can be generated within seconds but takes minutes to disprove. That's a popular tactic to bind resources while at some point getting something that went "undisproven". I'm not interested in playing that game in general, but this particular instance was just too amusing to not react to it.
