Ashton Kutcher Diet Of Fruits Did Not Work For Him

Actor Ashton Kutcher, who plays Steve Jobs in the upcoming movie “jOBS” tried to mimic Apple founder’s fruit diet. But it didn’t do good for Kutcher. He told USA Today that he suffered pancreas problems after experimenting on the fruitarian diet. He was even hospitalized for it.

“First of all, the fruitarian diet can lead to like severe issues,” Kutcher told USA Today. “I went to the hospital like two days before we started shooting the movie. I was like doubled over in pain. My pancreas levels were completely out of whack,” Kutcher added. “It was really terrifying … considering everything.”

Columbia University’s Health Center reports that eating mostly or only fruit can cause deficiencies in essential vitamins and nutrients, including calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin D, B12 and other B-complex vitamins. It can also be too low in protein and fatty acids.

Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography “Steve Jobs” mentioned that the Apple founder went on fruit-only diets.
