The tarsier has hands just like us and is 100% carnivorous, and the seahorse doesn't even have teeth at all and is 100% carnivorous. Gorillas have massive teeth and fangs, and yet they are herbivores and just eat leaves all day.

As to stomach acid, the Colobus monkey has a stomach pH of 5 to 7 and is a frugivore, and human pH is on average between 1 and 2, like other carnivores and some non-carnivorous primates, like the gibbon, not 1.5 to 3.5 as he claims here.

Also, he's mistaken or just lying. The average length of the human intestine is not 9 to 12 times longer than we are tall, only four to five times longer. Which is in the same range as the lion.

The nonsense this guy is pointing at are just cherry picked traits between similar
species and has nothing to do with their dietary or nutritional requirements, or is just plain false.

There are endless examples of herbivores and carnivores with all manner of different shapes sizes and descriptions that you can mix and match any way you please, But that doesn't tell us much about what they are biologically designed to eat.

Fruit has no B12, D3, K2, retinol, colon, creatine, carnitine, DHA, EPA, or any of the other myriad vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats that humans require or else they will die. People have died on a frugivore diet, and others that have nearly died. No one has died on well designed carnivore a carnivore diet however.

Do you really need fiber? The answer may surprise you.

It is amusing to me how fiber is termed an essential nutrient when it is not even a nutrient in the first place. You cannot break it down or extract any nutrition from it because humans cannot break down cellulose, which is what fiber is made out of. So if you cannot extract any nutrition from it at all, how can it be an essential nutrient when it is not a nutrient in the first place?

The next response is always the microbiome, that fiber feeds the microbiome and makes short chain fatty acids which can fuel the gut. However you get more of these from just being in ketosis and feeding your gut cells through your blood than you would from eating fiber, but also there are amino acids that also break down in the gut to make SFAs and feed the gut internally. It has also never been shown that fiber is required for a healthy microbiome. In fact there are countless people that eat a near zero or even zero fiber diet on carnivore and have exemplary microbiomes. The Inuit for one. The difference is that we are comparing people who eat a high fiber diet with the general population who eats a low fiber diet because they're eating processed food. Processed food may lead to an unhealthy microbiome, but it's not because of a lack of fiber, And these studies have never compared a high fiber omnivorous or plant-based diet to a low or no fiber carnivorous diet. Not once.

RA is not a humira deductible, and diabetes is not a metformin deficiency. These conditions have underlying root causes that the traditional medical establishment doesn't even try to look for, because treating the symptoms is too lucrative. Fine. At least we know and can look for the root causes and cures ourselves. Watch the full video to have a chance at doing that.

There are hundreds of thousands of people reversing numerous autoimmune conditions all over the world by doing a carnivore diet, even though they are considered incurable. However we have high level experimental studies going back decades showing just how impactful diet is for Crohn's in particular. These are not taught in medical school, they're not taught in residency. Your gastroenterologist will never know about them unless they look them up for themselves or another colleague or patient shows them to them. However, they exist.

We assume as doctors that everything we are taught in medical school and residency is the pinnacle of medical knowledge and achievement up until that point. So if we were not told about it, it must not exist. That is the wrong-minded thinking that unfortunately a majority of doctors have.

I cannot tell you how many patients I have spoken to who have been told by their gastroenterologists that diet plays no role in Crohn's disease, and that there are no studies showing that it does. They are wrong on both counts.

So here are some of the studies. Old and new. Randomized controlled trials, experimental data sets, and more recent case series on 10 people with Crohn's who have put their conditions into remission and come off medications with a carnivore diet.

Please comment down below if you suffer from Crohn's, UC, or any other autoimmune condition and what your experience with the carnivore diet has been, or if you haven't tried it but are interested. And if you have tried it, make sure you tell your doctors and don't let up until they start to pay attention so that they can help their other patients. And here are some of the studies So you can show them to your doctor that they know that there is evidence outside of their own education but they never received.

Exclusion Diet — Crohn's Remission Up to 51 Months (Lancet, 1985)
PMID: 2862371

Elemental Diet vs. Prednisolone in Acute Crohn's (BMJ, 1984)
PMID: 6441308

Elemental Diet vs. Steroids in Children (Arch Dis Child, 1987)
PMID: 3548602

Carnivore-Ketogenic Diet for IBD — Case Series (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2024)

Fat is our primary energy storage. Even a 150 lb individual with only 6% body fat has over 35,000 kcal of energy stored in that 6% body fat. But maximum glycogen storage in the liver and muscles with carb loading is only about 2,400 kcal. So even very small, lean individuals have 15 times the energy stored in their fat vs glycogen.

Studies also show that Ketogenic athletes have have been able to oxidize 1.8.5g of fat per minute, which is 999 kcal/hour and still burning fat at over 86% VO2 max (Noakes, 2023). This would also be coupled with hundreds of kcal/hour from gluconeogenesis as well.

This far exceeds the caloric demand for nearly all athletic endeavors, especially prolonged or long distance ones. For example, the Tour De France commonly estimates about a 1,000 kcal/hr being the most commonly cited average for race-pace riding. As this is already covered just by far oxidization on a ketogenic diet, and hundreds more coming from gluconeogenesis, clearly you wouldn't need to supplement more carbs or energy during competition if the body can naturally generate it to this degree, and possibly higher, and has tens of thousands of calories available in fat stores.

Given these facts, one would have to argue how, and why, the calories produced from fat were somehow inferior to those produced by carbs.
