If you mean is the fuhrman diet "hype" the answer is no . Its based on over 2000 research papers of tehmostg prestigious medical institutes in the world

The Fuhrman diet is another name for the"EXCELLENT NUTRITION DIET " taught by Dr Max Gerson diet , the Dr Norman Walker diet and the Dr Ann Wigmore diet and many others brfore Joel Fuhrman ( see my review )

There are many many many many thousands of case studies on Dr Fuhrmans and Dr Gersons websites where the fuhrman diet has cured obesity , cancer , heart attack risk ,diabetes . These case studies to show it not hype but true














to name a few

Also Dr Fuhrman is NOT discrediting the mediterranean diet as HISTORICALLY followed by the mediterranean people of 100 years ago .
According to THAT diet " Historically, in many but not all of the 22 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, a great abundance and diversity of nonstarchy vegetables, minimally processed whole-grain cereals, legumes, nuts, and seeds were staple foods for both men and women (Table 1). Unlike in North America and Europe, meat, fish, milk, cheese, and eggs were luxurious foods. For example, in Southern Italy in the 1950s, very little meat was eaten, typically only once every week or two, and milk was never used except in coffee (caffé macchiato) or for infants. Sugar and white potatoes were consumed only in very small quantities, and butter or cream were never used. Cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil was the principal source of fat. Fruits and very small amounts of local cheese were rather regularly consumed, together with a moderate intake of red wine during meals" coupled with hard physical exercise "

Dr Fuhrman pointed out that now-a-days people sit in front of the computer and think that by consuming olive oil and refined foods they are on mediterranean diet and life style and will get teh same benefits that mediterraneans got 100 years ago . So anything you read about following a mediterranean diet today being the healthiest diet in the world is definitely "hype" if it does not include huge amounts of salad , whole foods and no refined sugar , grains or fats (in other words practically the same as fuhrman's diet

Plus while there are many thousands of case studies of how a nutrient dense whole food vegan diet cures cancer there are practically none where the mediterranean has cured cancer and even when it has reduced risk or prevented cancer "These observed beneficial effects are mainly driven by higher intakes of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains." source -

so which is the healthier diet ? The one that can cure cancer and reverse chronic disease or the one that can merely prevent it ?

Aflatoxin Is NOT destroyed by cooking so whether you eat these raw ore cookied is immaterial . Nuts on the other hand are grown in trees and it very rare fro them to be infected with aspergillus fungus.

any crop is inspected (by using a black light) for aspergillus fungus so po answer your question NO as long as you avoid peanuts and eat only nuts and grains that have been inspected you are NOT increasing your risk of getting aflatoxin (less)
