Examining the Carnivore Diet: Risks and Realities

This chapter explores the risks associated with the carnivore diet, notably constipation due to fiber deficiency and potential vitamin C deficiency, illustrated by a case study. It analyzes historical and anthropological evidence of diverse pre-agricultural diets, challenging the notion that an all-meat diet aligns with our evolutionary history. The discussion highlights the adaptability of humans as omnivores and questions the misconceptions surrounding ancestral diets versus modern dietary practices.
