A "raw vegan" influencer has reportedly died from starvation after a decade of only eating fruit and vegetables.

Originally from Russia, Zhanna Samsonova - known as Zhanna D'Art on social media - used Instagram, where she had more than 10,000 followers before she died, to highlight the benefits of a raw vegan diet.

Speaking to a Russian newspaper following the 39-year-old's death in Malaysia on 21 July, her mother said Samsonova died from a "cholera-like infection" that was made worse by her restrictive diet.

Her official cause of death has not been revealed, but her friends had expressed worries about her extreme style of veganism to local media.

She doesn't look too healthy but I remain suspicious of any news involving the death of a celebrity/influencer. In the article above, her mother says that the diet was not the direct cause of her death but an aggravating circumstance.

Life is meaningless but worth living provided you recognize it's meaningless.

Veganism is brain suicide, so no wonder those who commit themselves to such irresponsible "diets" would die young or suffer at least.

10,000 followers on Instagram does not sound like a "celebrity" or "influencer", such numbers are not extremely difficult to reach, especially not being a Russian female.

Zhanna d'Art of course is a play of words on Jeanne d'Arc, quite the constructed celebrity character from the past...

It is true that 10k followers isn't that much for a woman on Instagram but in the end, her story is covered by a lot of media outlets so the suspicion remains.

I wouldn't even call it suspicion, but a rule of thumb.

ANYTHING published by ANY media outlet is by definition a false narrative. No exceptions.
Only real life stories can be verified with friends, family, neighbours, etc.

Why anyone in their right mind would spend any time (and clicks!) on those media, STILL, in 2023!, is far beyond me.

Life is SO much better lived making all media stories NPC.

Humans can thrive on a wide variety of diets - veganism included. What can be problematic with vegan and vegetarian diets is acidity* and sugar - especially fruitjuice and fruit in general are very high in both acidity and sugars.
-
The main problem with nutrition is the many toxins that reside in what we eat*, regardless of our particular diet. This problem makes it hard to keep our bodies in balance. And by how we prepare food, and when we eat it we can make good food turn toxic too - and also by how we combine what we eat.

This type of intellectualised eating clearly cannot be considered well balanced. Especially if this "influencer" exchanged alcaline water for fruit juices - we do need some clean water on a daily basis.

* meat, fish, milk and wheat products are all problematic because of high doses of toxins - and for those who didn't get their Covid-vax : all the animals you consume are fully vaxed be it organic meat or not... Eating your vaccines isn't much better than getting them injected....
