Don’t eat your greens? A diet taking Yemen by storm has doctors worried

In Taiz, Yemen, a surge in diabetes-related emergencies has been linked to a growing trend of people abandoning prescribed medication in favor of a restrictive diet promoted by Diaa el-Awadi, a former Egyptian doctor who was discredited and lost his license. El-Awadi's regimen, which involves avoiding certain foods like salad greens, citrus fruits, eggs, and legumes, contradicts medical advice and has led to severe health complications for some followers. Doctors at Taiz’s Republican Hospital report treating patients who stopped their treatment and suffered serious illness, including a 67-year-old man who collapsed after discontinuing his medication. Despite warnings from medical professionals, the diet has gained traction across the Arab world, fueled partly by speculation around el-Awadi's sudden death.
