    Most carnivore humans are b12 deficient. And also at risk for cardiovascular disease.

    Everyone should just take b12 and d supplements.

      Most carnivore humans are b12 deficient.

      How are carnivores at high risk for B12 deficiency?

      Perhaps you mean the standard diet, which is omnivore and 70% plant based already, in which case yes - lots of people are under eating essential animal proteins and at risk for deficiencies.

      And also at risk for cardiovascular disease.

      I’d love to see a non epidemiological source for this. Especially in zero carb carnivores, heck even ketogenic people, not the 70% plant based omnivore that is carb loading and eating processed food all day. We know from early pre westernizationed health surveys of carnivore populations they didn’t have CVD.

      From my reading CVD is driven by inflammation and hyperinsulinemia. Zero carb carnivore fixes the insulin so the cardio vascular system works properly and can repair properly, and is very low inflammation.

        The good news is that people like this won’t spread disinformation for long…because they’ll die very young

          it’s disinformation to ask for the sources of your statements? My reading of the literature indicates a metabolically healthy individual eating meat and not inflammatory compounds like seed oils, and not suffering from hyperinsulinemia (excessive dietary carbohydrates) does not have a meaningful CVD risk. I’m happy to share my sources.

          Wishing you all the best health and long and happy life.
