It is hard to find direct evidence of this because bad diet won't usually kill you before you quit it, nor is long term permanent damage easy to nail down attribution analysis. It should be obvious that certain bad advice has led some people to get fatter, and some people to miss essential nutrients.
But if you really must have some direct story, here's a bunch of idiots who tried to extract all of their nutrition from the air: https://culteducation.com/group/848-breatharianism/3269-three-deaths-linked-to-living-on-air-cults.html https://culteducation.com/group/848-breatharianism/3269-thre...
(edit, amused that someone else posted a link to the same random, whacko movement. It does highlight the difficulty in finding evidence for what are otherwise rapid, vanishing fad diets)
- pgeorgi 7y agoThe reason I picked them is, as you said, that cause and effect are easily linked in their case. Colloidal silver is suspected to lead to kidney damage, but it's much less conclusive. I'd also call "you turn into a smurf" enough harm to count, but I didn't want to argue semantics.
