Inflammation seems to cause most of the health problems in humans.

Solution: Carnivore Diet?

a lot of things can cause inflammation, such as covid! Diet definitely plays a part. I try to eat a low histamine diet. Eating not just a lot of meat, but fresh meat. Avoiding leftovers from the fridge.

I've heard of that diet. How hard is it to follow?

it's pretty hard lol, everything has histamine in it, the idea is to eat low histamine foods, no way can there be a zero histamine diet. It's hard having to eat only fresh food too.

Type 3 diabetes.

The point:

“This study,” he added, “shows that exaggerated abundance in blood of potentially toxic fat-protein complexes can damage microscopic brain blood vessels called capillaries and, thereafter, leak into the brain, causing inflammation and brain cell death.”

The covid and the vaccines will also do that.

I wish they would get to the point quicker and would be more specific. Readers will misunderstand the research.

Here is an initial 2003 study and conclusion, noted in JAMA, which has continued in other studies thereafter:

High intake of unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats may be protective against Alzheimer disease, whereas intake of saturated or trans-unsaturated (hydrogenated) fats may increase risk.

Huh. How does that make any sense, people in general have moved to so called healthier fats and Alzheimer's is on the rise.

The scientists seem to think unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats may be protective against Alzheimer disease, which makes no fucking sense really because the Alzheimer's rates have been going up as we've embraced that advice from the AHA and the NIH over the past decades.

I personally think it's difficult to only eat carnivore for a prolonged period. It's great at first but it lacks variety and gets old eventually. It's also, especially now, expensive. One day we'll commiserate about what year we last had beef over our meal of bug burgers.
