354 The carnivore diet : Dr. Paul Saladino 1/3

Eating only meat. Could this be a serious approach to human
nutrition? Are you not going to get goat, cancer or a heart
attack by doing this? Dr. Paul Saladino  is literary turning
the world of nutrition upside down and seem to question almost
everything we have learned until today. He's worldwide, one of
the most wanted guest for health-related podcasts and shows. And
now he is with us on the Bio360 podcast and I'm going to pick his
brain about the carnivore diet and we're hopefully going to go
beyond previously asked question about the carnivore diet, plants
and nutrition.


What is a carnivore diet?

There's are least a half dozen diets that claim to be
ancestral. What did humans eat over the last 2 million years?

Eating meat, especially red meat got a very bad reputation in
the last decades. Why did that happen and what are the arguments
against it.

Lets talk animals:

Which nutrients do we find in animals? How is the
bioavailability? Which forms of Vitamins do we find in
animals vs. plants?

Why nose to tail?

Do we need fiber to poop?

How much fat should we eat and how can we get it. How do
you get it?

What about rendered fat?



How much protein is good for us?

Protein activates mTor. Should we be concerned about
that?

What about ammonia? Isn’t it going through the roof?
Isn't it hard on the liver and kidneys? Doesn't it disrupt
sleep quality? What are the potential (negative) effects of
the fermentation of protein? How is protein digested?

How much protein do we need, how much is too much?



Lets talk plants

How healthy are plants (leafy greens, organic vegetables,
tuberous, condiments)

What are plant toxins and how harmful are they?
(oxalates, phytic acid, alkaloids ect.)

What about the much-praised phytonutrients? Do we need
them or are they even beneficial?

What about the bioavailability of the nutrients in plants
(b-vitamins, minerals, Vit. K, Omega 3)

Do plants always have a price to pay? Is that a real
problem or should we simply vary our plant based diet as much
as possible as nature suggests with seasons and a nomadic
lifestyle?



You focus a lot on micronutrients in the animal like vitamins
and minerals. What about biophotons. Others would argue, that we
eat light through fresh plants and that dead animals are indeed
dead food.

What’s the role of the microbiome? Aren´t they microbes
creating the nutrients out of fiber and starches, that you say
are lacking in the plants?

Steven Gundry talks a lot about a bacterial species named
Akkermansia. We are supposed to feed this species with a lot of
fiber. What do you think about that?

Do you see any value in medicinal mushrooms? I know they are
not plants. They are loaded with chemical compounds eg.
Polysaccharides, like beta D- glucan, Triterpenes, alkaloids.
Didn’t we always use them, like Paul Stamets claims?

How can something like the Hippocrates Institute be so
successful over 40 years, giving plant toxins in huge quantities
to the people. Brian Clements heavily promotes wheat grass, when
Steven Gundry calls wheatgrass one of the most toxic foods among
goji berries and soy on the face of the planet.

Is eating high on the food chain still possible in our toxic
environment? What about accumulation of toxins in animals and
fish?

Aren't plants hormetic stressors, that help gene expression
for reducing inflammation, longevity and so forth? Just like
heat, cold, exercise and fasting? Do our cells need to be
stressed mildly to function well?

Do you see a need for silicium from nettles and horsetail? Do
animal products contain silicium?

What about the medicinal use of plants?

Is a life without garlic really diserable? What about Coffee?

Most important question: Is chocolate toxic?
