The literature found in pubmed.gov is overwhelming that whole food plant based diet is by far the healthiest option. There are no long term studies to validate a carnivore diet. The low carbers know this so they whine about that no will fund them despite the fact that the meat industry revenue amounts to $125.60bn in 2023. Meat - United States | Statista Market Forecast
Oh yeah. I forgot. You can't trust any website with a .gov on it.
They also ignore the fact that there is only one medicare approved plan to reverse heart disease which advocates a whole food plant based diet. But then again, any information from the government can't be trusteed.

They also have to disregard that the number one hospital for heart disease has a decades long program to reverse heart disease which espouses a strict whole food plant based diet.

And what about your poor kidneys?
Eating Too Much Meat Animal protein generates high amounts of acid in the blood that can be harmful to the kidneys and cause acidosis – a condition in which kidneys cannot eliminate acid fast enough. Protein is needed for growth, upkeep and repair of all parts of the body but your diet should be well balanced with fruits and vegetables.

And of course the low carbers attack the blue zone book but somehow can't come up with any examples of carnivore populations that have the same similar long term health positive outcomes. The best they can come up with are the Eskimos. But that too was another one their false premises.

I believe an elimination diet of any sort is bad for you. I know many, many vegetarians who became seriously ill, got cancer, or died in their sixties. As I understand it, you must eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains each day to supply your body with the correct amount of nutrients. Most vegetarians do not do this. Man can not survive by eating broccoli, bananas, granola bars, and vegetable pizza. Then downing it with a tall glass of wine or coffee.
You can easily spot a vegetarian who is doing harm to themselves. They are frail/underweight and their faces are void of color. Avoiding meat does not mean you are eating healthy.
