Mizuki Nakano, a former lecturer at the University of Tokyo, has eaten only a variety of fruits for eight years.
Now Nakano has even practically stopped consuming pure water, preferring fruit and berry juices to it.
In the spring of 2018, Nakano was invited to a Japanese TV show, where he talked about how eating fruit alone changed his body.
In particular, he stated that his body had somehow learned to convert nitrogen from the air into the protein needed by the body. And this made him a kind of "superman".
It all started in September 2009. Mizuki Nakano came up with an intrusive thought about how a long-term diet of fruits would affect the human body.
At the same time, Nakano admits that science has long since proven that a balanced diet of a sufficient amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is vital for a person. And that if you start eating only one fruit, then it obviously deprives the body of important nutrients and can even cause serious health problems.
However, Nakano found that there is actually no real scientific research on how a long-term fruit diet affects the human body. And then he decided to put this experiment on himself.

Naturally, Nakano did not go on an all-fruit diet overnight. He gradually prepared his body day by day to increase the dose of fruit and slowly decrease his intake of other foods.
Now Nakano has practically eliminated even pure water from his diet. He gets all the necessary liquid from berry and fruit juices.

By 2015, he had already become popular and many people knew him. When in the same year, Nakano was invited to the popular Japanese TV show "Matsuko's Unknown World", where he had a regular column about the benefits of fruit and his diet.

True, he did not appear on TV for a long time, and when he left there, there were even rumors that he actually died due to malnutrition. Rumors were based on the fact that it is really impossible to get vital proteins and vitamin B12 from fruits, a lack of which can cause severe anemia.
Neither plants nor animals can produce vitamin B12, bacteria produce it, and people get it by eating fish, chicken or beef liver, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc.
But in April 2018, three years after his departure, Nakano again triumphantly appeared on Matsuko's Unknown World, mainly to debunk ridiculous gossip about death.

He stated, among other things, that his diet of fruits could not cause his death, since his body allegedly began to independently produce the necessary substances, including protein, producing it from nitrogen in the air. And this turned him into an advanced "superman".
According to SoraNews24, Nakano spoke in detail about this discovery. He allegedly discovered that due to the fruit diet, special bacteria multiplied in his body, which began to absorb nitrogen and produce protein from it.
At the same time, Nakano said that his body was studied by serious scientists and, upon learning about this discovery, they said that this is a unique phenomenon for the human body and that now Nakano's body is different from the bodies of other people.

At the moment, there is nothing but the words of Nakano himself about this "discovery", so this should be treated with caution. While no scientific papers have yet been released on how the fruit diet "modernized" the human body, there is ample scientific research on the dangers of protein and vitamin deficiencies.
