Does the Carnivore Diet Bring About Scurvy?? [Dietitian vs Doctor] Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

The health benefits of a carnivore diet have been enjoyed for millennia, but now it is treated as a new fad-diet that might cause medical problems such as scurvy. It's very common for health websites and the dietitians they interview to not directly answer questions such as this and instead to leave you with enough doubt that you are afraid to try it. Don't fall for this, try a carnivore diet for 90 days and you'll be glad you did.
