Carnivore dieetistä taitaa olla tähän mennessä ainoastaan yksi tutkimuks, eikä siinä ei havaittu mitään haittoja. Eli jos näyttöjä carnivoresta vertaillaan, niin se on 1-0 voitto lihansyönnin puolustajille.
En pidä minään näyttöinä näitä vastapuolen tutkimuksia, mitkä on niin kaukana järkevästä carnivoresta kun vaan voi olla.
Two normal men volunteered to live solely on meat for one year, which gave us an unusual opportunity of studying the effects of this diet. The term “meat,” as used by us, included both the lean and the fat portions of animals. The subjects derived most of their calories from fat and the diet was quite different from what one, who uses the term “meat” as including chiefly lean muscle, would expect. R
3. At the end of the year, the subjects were mentally alert, physically active, and showed no specific physical changes in any system of the body. 4. During the 1st week, all three men lost weight, due to a shift in the water content of the body while adjusting itself to the low carbohydrate diet. Thereafter, their weights remained practically constant. 5. In the prolonged test, the blood pressure of one man remained constant; the systolic pressure of the other decreased 20 mm. and the diastolic pressure remained uniform. 6. The control of the bowels was not disturbed while the subjects were on prescribed meat diet. In one instance, when the proportion of protein calories in the diet exceeded 40 per cent, a diarrhea developed. 7. Vitamin deficiencies did not appear. 8. The total acidity of the urine during the meat diet was increased to 2 or 3 times that of the acidity on mixed diets and acetonuria was present throughout the periods of exclusive meat. 9. Urine examinations, determinations of the nitrogenous constituents of the blood, and kidney function tests revealed no evidence of kidney damage. 10. While on the meat diet, the men metabolized foodstuffs with FA: G ratios between 1.9 and 3.0 and excreted from 0.4 to 7.2 gm. of acetone bodies per day. 11. In these trained subjects, the clinical observations and laboratory studies gave no evidence that any ill effects had occurred from the prolonged use of the exclusive meat diet.
