Your diet also lacks alot of B12, calcium, zinc, and iron
zinc supplements are typically larger than is healthy
no i get a ton of zinc from lentils :p
my iron levels were also perfect.
You eat a lot of nuts
All of which are necessary nutrients you dont get naturally in the correct amounts in typical vegan diets
Esp B12
Thats the big one
Now when you talk about nigerians are you talking abour city folks or tribesman?
With b12 its important to remember it doesn't come from animals per se but from microbes. We used to get a lot of b12 from unwashed plant foods as well, in the dirt. Also drinking water from streams and rivers. But because we don't want cholera now we drink filtered water
Keep in mind, other great apes also need b12 and they get enough in the wild even on plant-based diets
Cuz alot of those "mostly" plant based eating folks in africa look like they are about one sandwhich away from starvation
And they probably are
sure.
i agree
but it doesnt matter with regard to the point
b12 isnt the only thing required to lower homocysteine. There's also folate, which carnivore dieters struggle to intake
Almost no humans are carnivores tho
Unless out of ignorance or medical necessity
I love my meats but even I only eat them in moderation
only reason I brought it back up
And he was on that diet by medical advice
I thought it was because of his daughter
She was put on it by medical directive
There is also a significsnt difference in the way they are eating meat vs the standard american diet
thats not what she said. She said she started experimenting with it and found it helped her symptoms
Most of your arguments also get torpedoed by the eskimo tribes
With their lige expectancy of 42? :p
Who eat primarily meats and are still in fairly good health
life expectancy*
And the nigerian tribesmen live longer?
also, you mentioned genetic differences between people. We are not eskimos >.>

We arent nigerian tribesmen either
yes but african americans exist
and nigerians that come over here get alzheimers
So do eskimo-americans I presume
but they dont get it when they're over there
presume
