What does DNA have to do with it? Homo Sapiens are carnivores.
What precisely is a depletion diet? depleted of what specifically ?

Some people can handle larger amounts of carbohydrate toxins than others depending on individual insulin response. About 30g carbs per day is the average biological limit to avoid insulin resistance and cellular damage.

DNA has EVERYTHING to do with disease. Inuits have a unique DNA. They are genetically able to survive on a high fat diet. I will let the doctors on this forum explain.

Depletion means completely without.

I gave you examples: Mariners lived on a diet COMPLETELY WITHOUT vitamin c. Millions died from scurvy. A disease caused by a lack of vitamin c. When they added limes to their diet, the disease disappeared.

Rickets, Beriberi, osteoporosis, and hundreds more diseases ARE CAUSED BY A DIET VOID of necessary vitamins and minerals.

If you consume large amounts of carbohydrates and not much meat (Like the oldtime Mariners did) you will need vitamin C to remove the toxins. You do not need supplemental vitamin C if you don't consume metabolic toxins that produce free radicals. They also suffered from gout because they drank beer and rum instead of water - water was pretty toxic at the time. Alcohol killed off the microbes.

LOL...I know the definition...Depleted OF WHAT?

Do you think meat is void of necessary vitamins and minerals? What specifically are these vitamins and minerals? Beef is probably the most nutrient dense meat.

Carbohydrates and PUFA oils have everything to do with disease as well.

Cool! You do not believe Inuits have a unique DNA that genetically enables them to survive on a high fat diet. But, have a high rate of brain anuerisms.

According to you, scurvy is not caused by lack of vitamin c. Even though, it has been proven to be a FACT.

How do you feel about these diseases caused by not eating dairy, fruits, and vegetables?

Rickets, night blindness, osteoporosis, pellagra...

There are HUNDREDS of these diseases. We can on and on, if you'd like.

Anyway...Megadoses of vitamin C is always a good thing...Removing free radicals caused mainly by carbohydrate and PUFA oil consumption will reduce inflammation and boost collagen production.

I think polar bear is the most nutrient dense meat but most will complain they are too cute to eat

Plants are very low in nutrients...Herbivores have to constantly eat in order to survive.

Scurvy was definitely caused by lack of vitamin C, that is why in olden times, ships loaded barrels of apples to combat it.
Just as there is no need to take processed vitamin C tablets if you eat a reasonable amount of fresh fruit and veg, which is absent in red meat.

WOWSA! GE tried to explain to you the most essential nutrient in the human body IS CARBOHYDRATES. But, hey! He just has a medical degree and practiced internal medicine for 30 years. I get it! What could he possibly know?

Meat also has no vitamin c, but you are okay with that.

Meat does not have fiber, choline, phytochemicals, non heme iron, omega 3 fatty acids (except some fish) and calcium. Let me know how your body deplete of these nutrients works out for you.

Yes! People who eat carbohydrates eat more often than those who eliminate them. Why? Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy. Your body will convert them more quickly than protein. BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS ENERGY TO SURVIVE.

Default About those Eskimo myths that the Low Carb fans cling to

You can live perfectly healthy on only meat/eggs/butter/water...Most fruits and vegetables contain metabolic toxins to all carnivores and not just humans...These be facts. Megadoses of Vitamin C will help remove toxins from metabolized carbohydrate an seed oil.
I wonder why the low carbers don't talk about the health of the Ugandans in the 1950s whose diet was almost exclusively plant based?

Recent autopsy records at Washington University in St. Louis and Makerere College in Uganda, East Africa were reviewed to determine the incidences of venous thrombi and pulmonary thromboembolic phenomena, as well as the incidences of myocardial infarcts, in three groups of patients: (1) St. Louis Whites, (2) St. Louis Blacks, and (3) Uganda Blacks.
The incidence of myocardial infarcts was high in St. Louis white patients, intermediate in St. Louis Blacks and practically nil in Uganda Blacks; the only infarct found in Uganda among 1,427 patients over forty years of age was a small healed one.[/I]
Incidence of myocardial infarction correlated with venous and pulmonary thrombosis and embolism. A geographic study based on autopsies in Uganda. East Africa and St. Louis, U.S.A - PubMed


Oh another myth that the low carbers love to cling to since it is the only thread of potential evidence to validate their preposterous claims that plants are detrimental to human health. The Inuits had very high rates of CAD. But they died more often of strokes than heart failure.
Eskimos have CHD despite high consumption of omega-3 fatty acids: the Alaska Siberia project - PubMed


[I]The evidence for a low mortality from IHD among the Inuit is fragile and rests on unreliable mortality statistics. Mortality from stroke, however, is higher among the Inuit than among other western populations. Based on the examination of 15 candidate gene polymorphisms, the Inuit genetic architecture does not obviously explain putative differences in cardiovascular disease prevalence.
Low incidence of cardiovascular disease among the Inuit--what is the evidence? - PubMed

Most studies found that the Greenland Eskimos and the Canadian and Alaskan Inuit have CAD as often as the non-Eskimo populations. Notably, Bang and Dyerberg's studies from the 1970s did not investigate the prevalence of CAD in this population; however, their reports are still routinely cited as evidence for the cardioprotective effect of the "Eskimo diet." We discuss the possible motives leading to the misinterpretation of these seminal studies.
"Fishing" for the origins of the "Eskimos and heart disease" story: facts or wishful thinking? - PubMed

So how is one supposed to get these "Megadoses of Vit C"?

Fruits and vegetables, which you claim are bad for you...

Yep. Well, I tried education, I tried logic. So let's try this:

Occam's Razor------

Which is more likely:

A) Posters on TOTV who espouse that seed oils are the cause of all disease have PhD's in human physiology and have done their own exhaustive independent research proving their point, but have never published it in a reputable scientific journal, since no such study exists

OR.....

B) They have no education or experience in the field but a simply parroting the ravings of fraudulent internet guru quacks whose theories have been disproved over and over again

Not really a hard choice.

I do not see your link to the carbohydrate deficiency case.
Please try to post the link again.

30 day metabolic toxin purge.

Eat just beef/shrimp/water for 30 days. Eat when hungry - stop when full. After about the first week you will start feeling better and after 30 days you will feel better than you have in your life.

After that, tell me I'm wrong.

I’ll skip the ridiculous diet and go directly to stating you’re wrong (12th time)

You can't comprehend the subject matter because you are void of scientific understanding. This post is really for those who at least try to figure things out for themselves. It takes a little curiosity.

Did you even watch the video?
