Frutarijanstvo
Frutarijanstvo je prehrana koja se sastoji prije svega od konzumiranja raznih plodova (voća i plodovitog povrća) te eventualno orašastih plodova i sjemenki, ali bez ikakvih životinjskih proizvoda.[1] Voćna dijeta podliježe kritikama i zdravstvenim problemima.
Frutarijanstvo se može usvojiti iz različitih razloga, uključujući etičke, vjerske, ekološke, kulturne, ekonomske i pretpostavljene zdravstvene koristi. Voćna prehrana može povećati rizik od prehrambenih nedostataka, poput smanjenog unosa vitamina B12, kalcija, željeza, cinka, omega-3 ili proteina.[2]
Neki frutarijanci jedu samo plodove koji prirodno padnu s biljke, odnosno, biljnu hranu koja se može prikupiti bez ubijanja ili štete biljci.[3][4][5][6] To uglavnom podrazumijeva voće, orašaste plodove i sjemenke.[7] Neki frutarijanci ne jedu žitarice,[8] neki smatraju da ljudska prehrana ne bi trebala sadržavati sjemenke jer one sadrže buduće biljke,[9] neki ne jedu ni orašaste plodove ni sjemenke,[10] a neki jedu isključivo sočno voće.[11] Neki smatraju da treba jesti samo biljke koje rasprostranjuju sjemenke putem životinjske prehrane,[12] a neki drugi dozvoljavaju sve sjemenke i određenu kuhanu hranu.[13] Shvaćanje voća također je točka neslaganja, pa tako neki frutarijanci rabe botaničku definiciju i jedu mahunarke (poput graha i graška). Druge frutarijanske prehrane mogu uključivati sirovo voće, sušeno voće, oraščiće, med, maslinovo ulje[14] i čokoladu.[15]
Prema nutricionistima, odrasle osobe ne bi se trebale hraniti isključivo voćem na duža razdoblja.[16] Frutarijanska prehrana potpuno je neprimjerena za djecu, tinejdžere, majke koje doje i njihovu djecu. Neuhranjenost zbog frutarijanske prehrane može dovesti do smrti.[17][18]
Frutarijanstvo je restriktivnije od veganstva ili sirovog veganstva budući da je podskupina obaju tih načina prehrane.[19] Ovakva prehrana kroz dulje razdoblje može dovesti do opasnih nedostataka, a taj rizik mnogi frutarijanci pokušavaju spriječiti nutritivnim testiranjem i vitaminskim injekcijama.[20] Program promicanja zdravlja na Sveučilištu Columbia izvještava da frutarijanska prehrana može uzrokovati nedostatke kalcija, proteina, željeza, cinka, vitamina D, većine vitamina B (posebno B12) i esencijalnih masnih kiselina.[21]
Iako je voće izvor ugljikohidrata, ono sadrži vrlo malo proteina, a budući da se proteini ne mogu pohranjivati u tijelu poput masti i ugljikohidrata, frutarijanci moraju paziti da svakodnevno konzumiraju dovoljno proteina.[22] Kada tijelo ne apsorbira dovoljno proteina, nastupa nedostatak aminokiselina, koje su važne za stvaranje tjelesnih proteina koji podržavaju rast i održavanje tjelesnih tkiva.[23] Konzumiranje velike količine voća također predstavlja rizik za dijabetičare ili predijabetičare zbog negativnog učinka koji velike količine šećera u voću imaju na razinu šećera u krvi.[24] Visoke razine šećera također znače da frutarijanci imaju veći rizik od karijesa.[25] Još jedan problem s frutarijanstvom jest da, budući da se voće lako probavlja, tijelo brzo probavlja obroke i ubrzo nakon jela ponovno je gladno.[20] Nuspojava visoke probavljivosti jest da je potrebno češće vršiti nuždu.[20] Osim toga, Program za promicanje zdravlja na Sveučilištu Columbia izvještava da sva ograničenja u hrani mogu dovesti do gladi, žudnje za hranom, opsesije hranom, društvenih poremećaja i društvene izolacije.[26] Stroga prehrambena ograničenja svojstvena frutarijanstvu također nose ozbiljan rizik od izazivanja ortoreksijske nervoze.[20]
Harriet Hall piše da frutarijanska prehrana „dovodi do nutritivnih nedostataka, posebno kod djece. Frutarijanci mogu razviti pothranjenost proteinima, anemiju te niske razine željeza, kalcija, esencijalnih masnih kiselina, vitamina i minerala.”[27]
Vitamin B12, bakterijski produkt, ne može se dobiti iz voća. Prema američkom Nacionalnom institutu za zdravlje, „prirodni izvori vitamina B12 u hrani ograničeni su na hranu životinjskog podrijetla.” Kao što je slučaj s veganima koji se prehranjuju sirovom hranom i ne konzumiraju hranu obogaćenu vitaminom B12 (poput određenih biljnih mlijeka i nekih žitarica za doručak), frutarijanci možda moraju uključiti suplemente vitamina B12 u svoju prehranu ili riskirati nedostatak tog vitamina.[28]
Rast i razvoj mogu biti ugroženi kod djece frutarijanaca. Neki nutricionisti tvrde da djeca ne bi trebala slijediti frutarijansku prehranu. Nutritivni problemi uključuju tešku proteinsko-energetsku pothranjenost, anemiju i nedostatke proteina, željeza, kalcija, esencijalnih masneih kiselina, sirovih vlakna i širokog raspona vitamina i minerala.[29]
Neki značajni zagovornici frutarijanstva, dijeta koje se mogu smatrati frutarijanskim ili načina života koji uključuje takvu prehranu, jesu:
- Otto Abramowski, australski naturopat koji je predavao o frutarijanskoj prehrani.[30]
- Idi Amin, ugandski vojni diktator koji je bio frutarijanac tijekom svoga egzila u Saudijskoj Arabiji
- Sidney H. Beard[31]
- Arnold Ehret[32]
- August Engelhardt[33]
- Raymond W. Bernard[34]
- Hereward Carrington[35]
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, poznatiji kao indijski politički i duhovni vođa Mahatma Gandhi, pet je godina bio na frutarijanskoj prehrani.[36] Navodno je prekinuo dijetu i vratio se vegetarijanstvu zbog pleuritisa, prethodno prisutnog oboljenja, nakon pritiska dr. Jivraja Mehte.[37]
- Ben Klassen[38]
- Autor Morris Krok, koji je ranije u životu živio „samo na voću”,[39] navodno je savjetovao protiv prehrane „samo voćem”,[40] iako je kasnije objavljeno da se Krokova prehrana sastojala od „samo voća”,[41] pri čemu su prehrambene prakse frutarijanaca bile jednako raznolike kao i definicije pojma "frutarijanstvo".
- Suosnivač Applea Steve Jobs započeo je s frutarijanstvom kao student prve godine fakulteta, a prakticirao ga je i kasnije u životu.[42]
- Glumac Ashton Kutcher hospitaliziran je i rekao je da su mu "razine gušterače bile potpuno poremećene" nakon što se pridržavao frutarijanske prehrane kao pripreme za ulogu Stevea Jobsa, izvršnog direktora Applea i bivšeg frutarijanca, u filmu Jobs.[43]
- Red zlatnog doba objavljivao je časopis Herald of the Golden Age (1896. – 1918.), u kojem se promovirao „frutarijanski sustav života”.[31]
- Timothy Redmond, bubnjar benda Snapcase.[44]
- Gustav Schlickeysen[45]
- W. B. Shearn, cvjećar koji je vodio prvi frutarijanski restoran u Londonu.[46]
