Karolina Krzyżak, a Polish woman who ate only fruit, died of exhaustion

Karolina Krzyżak, a Polish woman who ate only fruit, died of exhaustion in Bali, weighing less than 23 kilograms.

She refused to eat any cooked or processed food.

The post reports the death of 27-year-old Polish woman Karolina Krzyżak in a Bali hotel from malnutrition after eight years on an extreme fruitarian diet, showing her severely emaciated appearance in two photos amid tropical foliage.

Public reactions in replies emphasize her case as a manifestation of disordered eating influenced by wellness trends, rather than a viable health practice, with over 500 responses blending condolences and critiques of raw veganism.

Studies, including a peer-reviewed case of reversible dementia from B12 deficiency on a fruit-only diet, highlight malnutrition risks like osteoporosis and organ strain, contrasting with benefits of balanced fruit intake at 2-5 daily servings.
