I really don’t see too much about the Low/No Vitamin A diet, outside of the old RPF and a handful of people that are pushing it. It doesn’t have the buzz that paleo, low carb, keto, vegan, or gluten free ever did, and I doubt it ever will. While there is a study that suggested a low vitamin A intervention diet could be useful in certain conditions (and the intervention lasted less than 3 years), and it might be beneficial for some, especially those who used a drug like accutane, I don’t think it’s a good diet for most people, and there is no proof that Vitamin A is a “toxin.”
If you are interested in it, read Grant Generaux’s books, and then check the studies that he based his conclusions on. That way, you can form an informed opinion of your own, and not have to rely on anyone else’s. But in this world of health/nutrition, very few want to do that, and instead seem to want to just piggyback onto the opinion of others.
