Ram, how many humans in history have eaten only beef and beef fat from birth to death, and lived to age 90 or 100? (closer than the last 50,000 years).
I would suggest the number approaches zero.
Not saying that it can't happen (and I'm not even saying it hasn't happened), but until there is verifiable proof that vast populations of humans can live past the age of 40 or 50 (prehistoric humans that were carnivores rarely lived past their 20's or 30's) on a carnivore diet, I will follow the science and the evidence of vast populations of humans that have lived on healthy omnivorous diets over thousands of years (I am not a proponent of vegan diets, although they do tend to live long, healthy lives).
And FWIW, I do not believe that carnivore diets "killed" prehistoric humans young. They died from all sorts of things that are not really issues in modern times. But the point is that there is no evidence anywhere, ever, that carnivore diets have been healthy in terms of long-aging. And don't say "the Inuits!" because that is grossly misinterpreted.
Inuits (and similar populations) ate mostly wild marine life. The nutritional makeup of marine life is vastly different than land mammals. And both (marine life and land mammals) from thousands of years ago bear little resemblance to those today. And nobody is eating a mix of walrus, seal, whale, caribou, reindeer and fish for their diets. Their bodies were also adapted to that diet over the course of THOUSANDS of years.
There are no essential foods. Only essential nutrients. I would argue that land mammals (especially modern ones) do not contain all the nutrients essential for long, healthy human life.
Final thing - I am in 100% agreement that the SAD diet is what is killing most Americans young. Excessive sugars and starches, processed foods, etc. But most of the real science (not bro science, and not chiropractors pretending to be doctors) backs the argument that a healthy omnivorous diet is the most beneficial for long, healthy lives.
