And then you realize, oh, well, the whole food is packaged with things that help, say, protect against oxidation of the fat. So these things called lignin antioxidants in the sesame.

Again, like the whole food is different than the isolated component. Let's talk oxalates. What does the literature on dark chocolate say? On balance, is it healthy for you or unhealthy for you? On balance, dark chocolate is healthy for you. It's good for heart health, good for vascular health. It's good for brain health. On balance, that's what the literature says. Is it high in oxalates as well?

Yes. So, you know, people have their different sensitivities. You're always going to find somebody in the corner of the Internet that will, I don't want to say fear monger because that cheapens it. And I don't think that's the point. But let's say be particularly sensitive to potential pitfalls of certain ingredients. And I think it's OK. to be aware of that, but take them with a grain of salt.

On balance, my opinion is not that fiber, oxalates, leptins, plant anti-nutrients are a terror. I think most people can tolerate them just fine. I think on balance, vegetables are perfectly healthy for most people. And I say that with the context and the framing that, but I don't eat a lot of vegetables, fiber, or these foods because of my personal circumstance.

So if somebody eats a high oxalate, low fat vegan diet and does it tremendously well and is healthy and happy, that doesn't detract from the fact that I had a benefit on a ketogenic diet. It doesn't.

But no, I don't hold those perspectives, which some people in the carnivore community might hold. And that's fine. I think it's ridiculous. Actually, I was criticized recently by somebody on Instagram who said they were upset that I was affiliating with people in the carnivore community.
