Marilyn Diamond is an American author,[1] and speaker on the topic of anti-aging and longevity. She is known for advocating a "cleansing" or "detoxification" diet,[2] based on certain combinations of foods.[3][4]

Career

In 1985,[5] with her then husband Harvey Diamond, she co-authored the best-selling health and wellness book Fit for Life.[6] The book built on the natural health movement that had roots in 19th century, and was part of the development of the fascination with celebrity beauty in contemporary American culture.[7]

Diamond's ideas about diet and aging have been the subject of controversy in the media.[8][9][10] In particular, nutritionists disagree with her assertion that some foods should not be eaten together.[11]
