Fruit smoothies, sunflower seeds, and above all, only raw foods… For four years, the influencer “Zhanna d’Art”, her pseudonym on social networks, had adopted an exclusive raw food diet. She died in Malaysia on July 21 at the age of 39, and, according to her relatives, her regime might have killed her.

“When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified. I lived on the floor above and every day I was afraid of finding his body in the morning, “testified to a Russian media a relative of the influencer, who was followed by more than 25,000 people on the social networks.

She extolled the benefits of the raw food diet

The young woman, who had swollen and injured legs due to her deficiencies, initially refused treatment. And, when she finally made up her mind to do so, her state of health was too worrying to allow her to recover. According to her mother, the influencer died following contracting an infection. But the medical report which determines the causes of death is still awaited.

In France, the raw food diet, considered dangerous because of its lack of calcium and vitamin intake, is promoted by YouTuber Thierry Casasnovas. The man is also indicted for illegal practice of medicine and breach of trust.
