Public Health

Thank you for reading the publication that this whole post has been about.

The reason science is based on consensus is because anyone can be tempted to use their title as doctor or scientist or whatever to make money by lying and selling snake oil. For example, the “handful of doctors” mentioned above trying to make money from their YouTube channels.

Doctors have far better ways to make money then by running youtube channels where they don't sell anything.

If what they were saying was true the entire medical community would be saying it. Not just a handful of YouTube influencers.

Change has to start somewhere.

1. She finds YouTube videos about meat based diets for fertility.
2. She agrees that it is crazy based off her knowledge as a dietician.
3. She tries the diet and it didn’t work.
4. She feeds her adopted newborn based on the diet that didn’t work.

This shows the lack of critical thinking skills this person has. She even says, “If it makes sense for adults, why wouldn’t it make sense for kids?” oblivious to the fact that it didn’t work for her fertility issues like the YouTube videos said.

Living 36 years in one metabolic mode and trying to reverse it in 1 year may have good results, but by her own admission she only went "mostly", her core dysfunction isn't disclosed.

Bonkowski did start giving Isabella some fruit a few months ago; the baby occasionally became constipated on the animal-only diet.

The diet didn’t even work for the baby…

Yeah, weird she is giving cheese to a baby.

Fiber is a macronutrient only available in plants and it’s primary role is to slow the movement of food in our digestive tracks by making it not easily used by the body.

Is that a good thing?

This is why eating animal products causes type 2 diabetes and is the #1 cause of colon cancer. Animal cells break down too fast in our digestive track.

Carbohydrates are a necessary, but not sufficient, component of T2D. I haven't seen any documentation of a carnivore developing T2D. This makes mechanistic sense since there are no carbohydrates in a carnivore diet.

There have only been weak epidemiological associations demonstrated with processed meat and some types of colon cancer, how do you arrive at the #1 ranking?

There is considerable debate ongoing in the colon cancer arena - https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/red-meat#cancer

It then goes on to talk about the handful of doctors supporting these diets and of course they are also selling products to profit off of saying something other than the scientific community

Carnivore Bars is just pemmican, and they are way too expensive for any reasonable person to buy anyway. As far as I'm aware they are not sold by a doctor of any description.
