In this discussion, Dr. Lazslo Boros, a UCLA pediatrics professor and deuterium expert, unpacks the health impacts of deuterium and its link to metabolism. He explains how high deuterium levels from grains can disrupt mitochondrial function, potentially leading to diseases like diabetes and cancer. The conversation highlights the benefits of a carnivore diet in managing deuterium intake, optimizing metabolism, and improving overall health. Boros also explores dietary influences and the historical diet of populations that thrived on carnivore nutrition.
