Let's review quickly all of the science I've come across in the past week that applies to high-fat ketogenic carnivore type diets.

I'll post the link, an image of the abstract, the title, and some hashtags on each one.

Remember the belief that meat is the best or only protein source is a #racist belief, discounting the way the majority of the cultures ate. #thesexualpoliticsofmeat #feminism #vegan /3
A #masculinity made anxious & unsettled seeks to re-establish itself by invoking #redmeat; you can find this happening at key points in US history: the rise of immigration at the end of the 19th century, after the Vietnam War, after 9/11, & during the #Trump 2016 campaign /4

One good thing from the whole #redmeat debate is that the same team did a review of the evidence for sugar recommendations & concluded similar to meat that reducing sugar a waste of time for most people.

Folk on ‘sides’ looking hilariously silly sighting either for support.
And I say good thing because it highlights the inherent biases people hold when the same type of evidence to support their views is dismissed when it does not.

And there’s been very little discussion and thoughtful comeback, IMO, of the judgments the authors of the studies made
And that for me shines a light on the sad state with the majority of scientific discourse and debate in the 21st century.

I’m happy to be proved otherwise. In fact I hope I am.

Weren’t scientific debates of the past actually informative on methods or is that just rose tinted?
