Abstract

Maria Callas’ diet, also known as the tapeworm diet, is a non-food-based hazardous treatment. This study aims to justify whether Maria Callas used this treatment for weight loss. To investigate this, we searched in the ‘white’, ‘grey’, and ‘black’ literature. The historical facts about the use of tapeworm pills seem to be inconsistent and include fake news. In the case of Maria Callas, it has been confirmed by her biography and personal communications that she was diagnosed with a beef tapeworm due to eating uncooked meat. This discredits the hypothesis that she consumed tapeworm pills.

绦虫与玛丽亚·卡拉斯的饮食之谜
Maria Callas的饮食,也被称为绦虫饮食,是一种非食物性的危险治疗方法。这项研究旨在证明Maria Callas是否使用这种疗法来减肥。为了调查这一点,我们搜索了“白色”、“灰色”和“黑色”的文献。关于使用绦虫药丸的历史事实似乎不一致,其中包括假新闻。玛丽亚·卡拉斯的传记和个人通讯证实,她因食用生肉而被诊断出患有牛肉绦虫。这否定了她服用绦虫药片的假设。
