Bonus Debunk — Carnivore vs Reality: Teeth, Genes, Gut, Mitochondria

from Path to Better A1C: Diabetes Prevention, Blood Sugar Balance, Weight and Cravings Control Strategy · host Jenny Pena, NBC-HWC

In this Bonus Debunk, I fact-check the boldest carnivore diet claims with peer-reviewed evidence. Were humans really “zero-carb”? What happens to your microbiome on all-meat? What do fiber, LDL cholesterol, TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide), and kidney health actually look like in the data? We’ll hit archaeology (Neanderthal dental plaque), genetics (AMY1 salivary amylase), controlled diet studies on gut bacteria, fiber outcomes, head-to-head weight-loss trials (low-carb vs low-fat), and safety notes for CKD.Bottom line: Protein? Yes. Plants? Also yes. Mixed, minimally processed diets win on long-term risk.Link for references to Research Studies - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nYpeEdERRw29Myq72IrTEVVaHDnk2Tr9-7BQbY5bpb0/edit?usp=sharingQuick disclaimer: Educational content only, not medical advice.
