@drterrysimpson No. In science you are supposed to be constantly attempting to prove yourself/hypothesis wrong.
Only then, through systematic elimination will you discover facts.
When did any human nutrition study test, or even question, the alternative causes for what was being observed?
@foundmyfitness Most people are retarded, though!
"Durable" simply implies that it would last long term, not that many people can adhere to it.
"Loudest carnivore" is probably Shawn Baker and he certainly still adheres to it.
A carnivore can eat fruit and veg, but it's in no way a requirement.
@stringerbell99@nicknorwitz But that assumes that those areas are stripped bare or permanently damaged as a function of normal processes. You can not prove that assumption, and given that carbs definitely degrade the glycocalyx, we know it would perform better without them.
Hence lions lack of CVD.
@nicknorwitz@foundmyfitness "Extreme dietary intervention" is a value judgement!
How can the indicated diet for a species be considered anywhere close to extreme or an intervention?
People are just extremely removed from what is normal, not being extreme by eating as indicated.
@zakmckrakken@CraigBrockie Strange. I wonder why our caecum reduced to the that of a lion.
Heard of carion?
Low stomach pH?
Development of tools to crack long bones/skulls etc....?
Are Giant Pandas carnivores?
@GuruAnaerobic Definitely an observation that many have made, but it's more an insight as to thyroid health specifically, as opposed to general metabolic health.
One is not always due to the other, but heat regulation is definitely a thyroid issue.
@stringerbell99@nicknorwitz Right, so not scientific.
Can a "keto" diet be comprised of different types/states of fat, and can one person eat 49g of carbs and another eat zero? Can it both contain and or exclude vegetables? Would you class those variables as important to control when studying a "keto" diet?
@tylerblack32 For anyone on any diet to develop CVD, the glycocalyx must be damaged.
Your strawman arguments only show your inability to address the points made.
@stringerbell99@nicknorwitz Define "a lot" of saturated fat?
Define "keto"?
Be more scientific, please.
It's a fundamental requirement and removes bias.
@tylerblack32 Good old associations, eh.
If only experiments could be done to justify any cause and effect/risk based claims on the back of them.
We might then be able to actually establish something.
@stringerbell99@nicknorwitz No, m8.
That's very arrogant.
What's natural is the amount of LDL that our genes dictate at any given time of day.
What is not natural is to chronically consume a macro that literally depletes a protective layer our genes also dictated must be there!
