To conclude that animal-product-rich diets are healthy or efficacious in treating CVD would be erroneous based on the aforementioned literature. Additionally, animal-product-rich diets tend to impair vascular function [43,44], increase LDL cholesterol and inflammation compared to an isocaloric unprocessed high-carbohydrate diet [45], and reduce myocardial blood flow compared to a plant-based diet, which had the opposite effect [46].

There are truckloads of research validating the long term benefit of whole food plant based diets. Virtually none for the carnivore diet other than short term . But perhaps you can prove me wrong by going to pubmed.gov and finding it.
Watch this debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qDYl4zHmAg where Nina Teicholz (author of The Big Fat Surprise) is destroyed by research. She has virtually no valid credible scientific studies to back it up, just like Atkins. |
My anecdotal evidence and everyone one else doing the diet. These studies like the one you linked always include people continuing to eat a carb loaded diet. But you do you. I fixed all my issues doing keto. I am doing carnivore sort of an elimination diet to figure out some other issues. I was keto when my issues disappeared in like 2 months. I’ve yet to see one person say they did keto or carnivore and had worse issues.
Pubmed sure. See who funds those studies. Usually the sugar industry. As for vegetarian diet, those folks either look deathly skinny and sick (if they stick to Whole Foods) or look morbidly obese because of carbs and sugar. ETA: the article you linked talks about blue zones. That has been shown to be total bunk based on cherry picked data.
I think we can both agree on that Whole Foods (sorry my phone capitalizes that as if they weren’t words before they were a store) with low carbs, low sugar, and low processed foods is the way to go.
