A follower or believer in Sylvester Graham's dietary and health reform principles.
Formed from Graham's name plus the suffix '-ite,' which denotes an adherent to a doctrine or system, similar to 'socialist' or 'communist.'
Grahamites in the 1830s-40s were often ridiculed as extremists, but they were essentially the first nutritionists, decades before science validated that whole grains and vegetable-based diets improve health.
