Prions and population collapse aside, your cannibal population would eventually succumb to simple nutrient deficiency as the human body can't synthesize a number of essential vitamins and amino and fatty acids. Without any outside food sources, those nutrients would eventually be completely exhausted.
So if you're going to start eating people, only eat people who have been a fed a diverse, nutrient-rich diet.
uhhh isnt that how you get prion accumulation? sounds like the death of a species...
But what about a bit of human now and then, as a treat?
Have you even watched the video?
ha, yeah i did after i posted.. they do mention my prions and such
You would soon feel like shit and eventually die.

This is absolutely incorrect, at least with respect to carnivore diets. You won't feel like shit, and everybody dies eventually (but carnivore will not reduce your life or health span).

Note: This only applies to carnivores who are not eating carbohydrates, people who are just standard western omnivores (70% plant food, mostly processed, and 30% meat) will not see any benefits.
There are many biological risks in eating humans that should be accounted for, and while you could survive it would be far from optimal.
The author is a computer scientist with no background in nutrition or any health disciplines, lol
The opinion is published in the Journal of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity a peer-reviewed journal- and is edited by Eric Westman
Does that satisfy your appeal to authority concerns? Any issue with the content of the article itself?
It's a fucking opinion piece by a random person that wants to get rich of it. I'm not reading shit of that.
Have fun getting scurvy.
Funny you should mention that, they address scurvy directly in the paper. Who is getting rich of a nutrition paper?
The Inuit avoided scurvy by eating some of their fish and meat raw during long Arctic winters. Apparently there is some vitamin C in raw flesh which is destroyed by cooking.
The risk of parasite infestation increases, but they probably learned what to watch out for, just as they learned to avoid eating polar bear livers.
Yeah but the Inuit don't have the choice to eat a balanced diet, so they do the best they can. Some people now are eating like shit because it's the new gym bro science scam.

A scam with published literature, documented benefits, and no documented downside. The only issues is from people who don't like the idea of it and refuse to engage with the available data.
Carnivore is just a very strict form of a ketogenic diet, which is the most studied eating pattern in the literature
You can do a ketogenic diet with no meat at all. Children with epilepsy that didn't respond to medication used to be put on a high fat ketogenic diet. The fat can be vegetable based.
Oddly enough, that diet can also be used to treat menopausal hot flashes. I had a bad reaction to HRT, so I tried the high fat keto diet for a couple of months and went from having about 12 flashes a day down to 2 or 3.
Hey, give me some wasabi paste and soy sauce and I will quite happily eat raw fish. 🙂
Tsk Tsk, have fun being a wannabe fascist in Lemmy of all places
