But that's the reason this isn't, or a reason it's not prescribed is because the studies haven't been done. It doesn't mean it can't really benefit people. Coming to that realization and feeling it's the intellectually honest thing, then abuts against some of the, what I would call intellectual dishonesty I see in the media and the scientific literature around carnivore diets.

I'll give you a case in point. Did you see that JAMA Cardiology case report that came out about the flax on the hands?

I'll give you a case in point. Did you see that JAMA Cardiology case report that came out about the flax on the hands?
Yeah. So there was a report that came out a few weeks ago as we record this. It was in JAMA Cardiology. It was a case report. of an individual who went on a carnivore diet and had, they say, cholesterol oozing from his skin, if people want to Google it. And there's these pictures of, you know, these yellow plaques on his hands from eating presumably a carnivore diet.

Now, you look at the report, and it was word limited, but you look at the report, and the entire description of the patient was a man in his 40s.

was the description didn't even give us the exact age no medical history no family history no genetic history and they described his diet as him eating six to nine pounds of cheese butter and beef daily wow which is actually implausible so this didn't read like a case report this read like a skit from monty python you know what the fat man i'm like this is not plausible how did this get published right i'm all for cautionary tales but this is intellectual dishonesty yeah

And if people actually do read the report, it was worded a little bit vaguely around his diet. The first author did get on the news, I think it was Fox News, and doubled down on the fact that he was reporting six to nine pounds of cheese, beef, and butter intake per day, again, for eight months, implausible. So this isn't a legitimate report.

nine times four oh yeah no i mean when you go to like get a 16 ounce ribeye no bone that's a pound so the least he could eat was six of those per day every day the least for eight months not you know even mentioning the density of cheese and butter wow a human being can't eat this like it not not even like i don't know eddie hall or like the mountain from game of thrones probably eats this one maybe them but you can see his hands it wasn't that person so anyway
