Controversial Diet by Egyptian Doctor Raises Health Concerns
The 'tayyibat' diet, promoted by the late Egyptian doctor Diaa al-Awady, has gained a significant following across the Middle East, despite warnings from health authorities. The diet, which discourages conventional medical treatments in favor of specific dietary changes, has been linked to severe health complications, including emergency interventions for diabetic patients. Al-Awady's approach, which combines religious language with dietary advice, has been criticized for its lack of scientific basis and potential to cause harm by encouraging patients to abandon necessary medications.
