"Update: I think that this diet is great on a short-term basis, but doesn't
work for the long run. On a short-term basis, it eliminates almost all of the
typical Western food that causes food intolerance, so will likely have you
feeling much better. It also provides a lot of good nutrition, because there
aren't any wasted calories.

On the downside, you are likely to be deficient in zinc, iodine, sodium, and
B12, and you won't get enough omega-3/omega-6 fats to stay healthy.
The other major issue is the very high levels of fructose, which over time
cause uric acid levels to climb and leads to leptin/insulin resistance and
can lead to non-alcoholic liver disease."

I'm interested in the last section. Is that true?
