In this Bonus Debunk, I fact-check the boldest carnivore diet claims with peer-reviewed evidence. Were humans really “zero-carb”? What happens to your microbiome on all-meat? What do fiber, LDL cholesterol, TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide), and kidney health actually look like in the data? We’ll hit archaeology (Neanderthal dental plaque), genetics (AMY1 salivary amylase), controlled diet studies on gut bacteria, fiber outcomes, head-to-head weight-loss trials (low-carb vs low-fat), and safety notes for CKD.
Bottom line: Protein? Yes. Plants? Also yes. Mixed, minimally processed diets win on long-term risk.
