> What your doing is not gathering scientific evidence but perpetuating your own biases. And your article you used as evidence for your claim https://www.health.com/diets/james-blunt-scurvy https://www.health.com/diets/james-blunt-scurvy consisting solely of a third hand anecdote from the 90s is totally not just `perpetuating your own biases.` /s My original claim was _I think_ and not written in concrete, but I just gave you far greater evidence than you've given me to show that I may be at least reasonable in my thinking and not `dangerously misinformed.` That trial was recent and included 2029 participants. At the very least we should both be willing to concede that it may be perfectly possible to live on meat alone, but there's not much evidence either way. > Anyway, you replied to someone saying “I don’t believe meat actually lacks vitamin C.” Fair enough, I see why you brought up cooking and vit C degradation, but it's not really relevant to my original claim for which again, you believe I'm dangerously misinformed. > Uncooked meat is associated with several extremely serious health conditions. And the reduction of pirates since 1800 is associated with global warming... But really, yumm... https://lenaskitchenblog.com/classic-beef-tartare/ https://lenaskitchenblog.com/classic-beef-tartare/ of course I do realize in this case an acid is used to essentially cook it. Still, I'm perfectly happy to eat raw meat if I know and trust the source. For sure I would not go near raw meat from your average restaurant or grocery store. You strike me as afraid of the world.

I agree, Beef tartare is delicious as is many kinds of raw fish. > associated with global warming But that’s just wordplay. Eating a diet of raw meat results in a dramatically lower life expectancy. Knowing your sources doesn’t particularly help here it’s just a form of conformation bias because most of the time raw meat isn’t a problem. Unfortunately, a lifetime consistent of a vary large number of meals so low risks are still meaningful. That said, if uncooked meat is your only source of vitamin C then it’s better than dying. Traditional Eskimos diet was almost completely meat for months, but included such things as chewing on raw blubber. So, sure a carnivore diet is possible. But simply eating nothing but cooked stakes will fairly quickly kill you, this isn’t a contradiction. Healthy animal and water only diets are extremely difficult to achieve. PS: I also standby what I said about your view of that study. There’s actual evidence and wishful thinking the difference is critical.
