There are plenty of wacky 'fad diets' out there. The grapefruit and lemonade diets come to mind. But while fad diets are often bizarre, they're generally regarded as safe, right? Wrong -- fad diets can be downright dangerous, as this story proves.

A British woman, Dawn Page, was recently awarded £800,000 (about $1,600,000 USD) after a detox diet left her epileptic and brain damaged. 'The Amazing Hydration Diet' has participants drinking copious amounts of water and reducing their salt intake in order to cleanse their system and reduce water retention. But within days of starting the diet, Page started vomiting uncontrollably and was rushed to hospital.
