A video from "Dr. Ken Berry - Carnivore Coach", who is also mentioned in the article as having defended "carnivore babies" on Fox News, surely provides the best unbiased opposing view!
Let's look at what he says instead of the research study with 80,000 participants which is cited in the article.
If you prefer a third party analysis, please read the original wsj article linked above.
The research study that wasn't about babies on a carnivore diet, are associational only and can't speak on causation, have weak hazard ratios, and is significantly confounded by carbohydrate consumption (so a totally different metabolic context then carnivore babies)? Or is there a interventional study in the article I missed?
