My husband and I followed a raw vegan diet for about two years. His eyes did not change but mine got little specks of green and gold in them.

They have since changed back to what they were before, since we've gone back to eating S.A.D.

i would hypothesize, if they did indeed change colors (still debatable), that a lack of hemi iron would be the culprit.

I don't know, my daughter has hazel eyes, and depending on the light, what she is wearing, they look green, or aqua, sometimes more blue, sometimes more brown. It is sort of strange. I am not sure why that is...she is not vegan.

I'm not sure what hemi iron is, but even on S.A.D. I have to watch my iron, so my doctor recommended - and I take daily - an iron supplement.

My eyes are hazel and I have the same changes no matter what I eat. My eyes are different colors depending on the light - natural daylight, fluorescent, warm white, cool white, candlelight etc. They can range from almost dark green to a muddy brownish green to bluish green and everything between these colors. I believe it's light reflecting off the iris cells and not diet.

Scary.
But we turn our own genes on and off constantly by changing our environments. I would not have thought of eye color as a gene expression that can or needs to be changed, but apparently it can happen as I have -- you should pardon the expression -- seen it with my own eyes. I would be surprised to see someone with 2 brown-eyed genes go blue, but a green-eyed person has both a blue and brown gene and might well go browner or bluer in different environments. Blue-eyed people with a lot of iron in their local water can show brown blotches in the iris just because their systems are full of iron oxide. Get them a water softener and that might change.

I really want to do this raw food diet. I have medium brown eyes and so does my parents so them turning into green would be so exotic ad different. Its just that kristina in the video explains she comes from lebanese and hispanic background and these people tend to have darker eyes like me so if she could get that eyecolor why cant we?

She had to have had hazel eyes to begin with. I'm sure she's healthier than before, which can lead to all sorts of different improvements, but not a spontaneous genetic mutation.

Remember this is a woman trying to make money off of presenting her own lifestyle.

I saw this vid months back. I was thinking at the time, It could happen although just seems a bit stretched.

My blue eyes stay blue regardless of what I eat. I suspect that's true with everyone else, too.
