Hello, I will introduce you some websites which might help.
As the resources, we used Library Spot(http://www.libraryspot.com/) and refdesk.com.(http://www.refdesk.com/fastfact.html) Library Spot was more helpful with finding the medical related references.
On yahoogroups.com, we have found groups encouraged being on raw food diet(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rawfood/), water cleansing diet(http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/cleansingdiets/), which is to drink water a lot and flush away toxins in the body, and cut-down carbohydrates diet(http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Graduate-lowcarblifestyle/). There are many kinds of groups and each of them is encouraged being all kinds of diets, however, it seems like raw food diet is the most popular method. They are the ones below just to show as the examples...
In one of the scholarly articles we have found, it complains about the danger of cutting the carbohydrates in diets. It explains that carbohydrates contain glucides which burns into energy instantly comparing to other nutritive factors such as proteins and fats, so if we cut down carbohydrates, it takes time to make up energy, and gives lots of pressure to the body. Also, lacking of glucides disturbs the function of brains. The other article claims the danger of raw food diets. Since raw food diets take the method of eating uncooked foods, it cools down the body and that would lower the level of digestive functions. When looking in the long term, raw food diet could possible leads to the serious malnutrition, which means lack of nutrition.
