Quick takeaways
- The carnivore diet lacks essential nutrients found in a varied diet, leading to potential nutrient deficiencies and increasing the risk of heart disease in the long term.
- The historical Inuit population's survival on a carnivore-like diet was due to extreme physical activity and lack of availability of other food sources, which is not applicable to the modern lifestyle and indicates the need for a varied diet that includes plant foods.
