چکیده
Results During 12 months, a total of 4 cases of extreme diets were reported from a cohort of 41 patients. Two cases concerned sugar-free diets, one case of a vegan diet and one case of 100% raw food. Negative medical outcomes were nutritional deficiencies, stunting, concentration and developmental disorders, and social isolation. The raw food case involving a mother with orthorexia and her 14 year old son has led to a court case, causing a national debate on autonomy of the family versus child abuse.
