Something I've read multiple times throughout the years being somewhat curious about nutrition and diets is that the Inuit's would often eat their meat raw.
When eaten raw, there can actually be significant carbohydrates present. The mitochondria for instance contain glucose in-flight that apparently gets destroyed by the cooking process.
At least that's what I've read. It seems plausible to me that one could get all the nutrition they need eating copious amounts of raw animal flesh, drinking the blood, eating the liver, everything.
- 6nf 8y agoThere are no essential carbohydrates. Your body can function perfectly fine without them.
- newnewpdro 8y agoMy intention in mentioning the carbohydrates lost when cooked was more meant to suggest other nutrients are also likely intact when consuming the meat raw. The classical Inuit diet is more unique than just being meat-based, it's also mostly raw. This detail is often overlooked by those using the Inuit diet as proof for some dietary argument.
