The Rise and Impact of Diet Trends

The idea that diet significantly affects health and longevity has been prevalent for centuries, but recent years have seen an explosion of diet trends. Many influential figures, particularly in Silicon Valley, have promoted diets they claim will extend life, including the keto, paleo, and vegan diets. These diets often appeal to people seeking control over their health and well-being, with promises of miraculous results. However, many of the proponents of these diets have faced scrutiny due to the irony of their premature deaths, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the efficacy of such diets.
