Once again proving that intelligence is neither required nor desired in the "scientific" community.

UK has dietary information, complete with red patches that I use to help me find the good stuff. Trying to avoid reduced fat versions? Check for the red fat warning. I'll do the same will meat warning labels, seeking them out to avoid soy.

Fine. Scare the idiots off and leave more meat for me.

Every one of these studies which say red meat bad are confounded by the fact that people who eat more red and processed meat tend to also have bad lifestyle habits like smoking.

Not forgetting we are OMNIvores... so these morons telling us that red meat is bad for us are pretty much just being anti-science and common sense. TOO much red meat is bad, too much of anything is bad.... but to try to scare people with bullshit climate crap... how about you just stop with the bullshit and point the fingers where it matters... China and India.... who produce something stupid like 75-85% of the pollution, gasses, etc, that cause climate change. Next you can FUCK OFF trying to tell US we need to do something different... and go after the people that actually cause harm to the environment in our country, the now unregulated big corps and all the rich fucks and their planes, yachts, etc. So SICK of all these groups, rich people, big corps, govt... all telling us WE need to change what WE do, when we produce only like 1-2% of the pollution and greehouz gasses. The can fuck off, no one believes them anymore, and no one is going to change what they are doing as we are doing nearly no harm.

How much red meat is too much? Cos I went pure carnivore for more than a year, eating nothing else except red meat, fish, eggs, yogurt, cheese and white meat.

Zero fiber, zero carbs, zero fruit, allowed some veggies like bok choy or purple cabbage but only very rarely.

I fucking thrived on that diet! The only reasons I don't stick to it strictly is for family gatherings, travel etc. I found the first year I did it, my guts got too used to it, so when I did eat plant matter it gave me the squits, so now I eat just enough to my body can tolerate that crap - but yeah, we can THRIVE on nothing else except red meat.

There are peeps on Youtube eating pure carny for decades.

Yeah... I used to as well... steak and a veggie or potatoes every night and beer. So... now I have gout.... WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN! lol

Beer is terrible for you. Potatoes are far, far, far away from a carni or keto diet. Carnivore diet CURES gout!

Not sure how that is supposed to work, since all meat have purine in large quantities, and purine is what causes gout... well the build of of uric acid from the purines.

Well perhaps you could start by looking at the multitudes of multiple videos I just offered you?

I have 2 friends with gout. One claims to have tried the carny diet and it didn't work, but knowing him and his rice, noodles and how his wife bakes cakes and pastries as a side biz, I suspect his carny diet... wasn't.

The other one watched some vids and gave it a go, since he was having an attack anyway. It went away over time... and didn't come back.

There may be more than one type of gout, dunno, but I do know it helped my knee and many peeps, inc me, thrive on it.

"an error occurred (status: 403)" Can we fuck off with this shit?

Being open minded, I went ahead and am looking into this. This flies in the face of all current known stuff about gout, but looking in to it it seems like we have not bothered to really study gout much, and this might actually be legit. ketosis might actually help lower uric acid in the blood, lose weight which helps everything, and lowers inflammation which also helps. This... might be a thing.

Good luck, and good call looking closer

Well, fuck it. Imma give it a try. Worse to worse I get a gout flare and suffer a few days. Best to best I lose some weight, gout gets better, and avoid diabetes too... now if it could just make me not look ugly too!

Scientists should come with warning labels and disclaimers.

"scientists" LOL

This is retarded. Scientists don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They are hand-fed tame scientists powered by munny. Utter filth.

Works for me. Warning labels are pretty metal. They are visceral reminders that life will kill us and that everything around us is decay and despair.
