The scary new diet is where people are eating cotton balls to try and lose weight as they apparantly fill you up. Health experts warn the cotton-ball diet is dangerous and could lead to severe medical problems.
This diet is the latest extreme diet that apparantly models were doing and now young girls are trying. Parents need to be wary about their teens trying this crazy diet.
The idea is to eat the cotton balls to limit the amount of food a person eats during the day. Extreme dieters say the cotton expands in the stomach and tricks the body into thinking its full.
The biggest concern is it can cause a blockage in the digestive system, and if that happens to a certain extent, they are going to end up in surgery. Just like with any extreme diet, it is very dangerous because you’re depleting your body of needed nutrients.
It is worrying that teens might consume cotton balls, which ultimately will cause long-term problems as they are not meant to be ingested, so it could be life-threatening.
