zinc supplements are typically larger than is healthy

2019-09-30 20:27:08 UTC  

no i get a ton of zinc from lentils :p

2019-09-30 20:27:13 UTC  

my iron levels were also perfect.

2019-09-30 20:27:24 UTC  

You eat a lot of nuts

2019-09-30 20:27:24 UTC  

All of which are necessary nutrients you dont get naturally in the correct amounts in typical vegan diets

2019-09-30 20:27:40 UTC  

Esp B12

2019-09-30 20:27:44 UTC  

Thats the big one

2019-09-30 20:28:17 UTC  

Now when you talk about nigerians are you talking abour city folks or tribesman?

2019-09-30 20:28:21 UTC  

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

2019-09-30 20:28:58 UTC  

Keep in mind, other great apes also need b12 and they get enough in the wild even on plant-based diets

2019-09-30 20:29:37 UTC  

Cuz alot of those "mostly" plant based eating folks in africa look like they are about one sandwhich away from starvation

2019-09-30 20:29:42 UTC  

And they probably are

2019-09-30 20:29:53 UTC  

sure.

2019-09-30 20:29:57 UTC  

i agree

2019-09-30 20:30:07 UTC  

but it doesnt matter with regard to the point

2019-09-30 20:30:41 UTC  

b12 isnt the only thing required to lower homocysteine. There's also folate, which carnivore dieters struggle to intake

2019-09-30 20:30:59 UTC  

Almost no humans are carnivores tho

2019-09-30 20:31:16 UTC  

Unless out of ignorance or medical necessity

2019-09-30 20:31:29 UTC  

I love my meats but even I only eat them in moderation

2019-09-30 20:31:29 UTC  

well they mentioned jordan peterson earlier

2019-09-30 20:31:37 UTC  

only reason I brought it back up

2019-09-30 20:31:42 UTC  

And he was on that diet by medical advice

2019-09-30 20:31:59 UTC  

I thought it was because of his daughter

2019-09-30 20:32:25 UTC  

She was put on it by medical directive

2019-09-30 20:32:45 UTC  

There is also a significsnt difference in the way they are eating meat vs the standard american diet

2019-09-30 20:33:03 UTC  

thats not what she said. She said she started experimenting with it and found it helped her symptoms

2019-09-30 20:33:21 UTC  

Most of your arguments also get torpedoed by the eskimo tribes

2019-09-30 20:33:45 UTC  

With their lige expectancy of 42? :p

2019-09-30 20:33:50 UTC  

Who eat primarily meats and are still in fairly good health

2019-09-30 20:33:50 UTC  

life expectancy*

2019-09-30 20:34:15 UTC  

And the nigerian tribesmen live longer?

2019-09-30 20:34:15 UTC  

also, you mentioned genetic differences between people. We are not eskimos >.>

2019-09-30 20:34:16 UTC  

Also

2019-09-30 20:34:19 UTC  

Citation

2019-09-30 20:34:29 UTC  

We arent nigerian tribesmen either

2019-09-30 20:34:36 UTC  

yes but african americans exist

2019-09-30 20:34:42 UTC  

and nigerians that come over here get alzheimers

2019-09-30 20:34:47 UTC  

So do eskimo-americans I presume

2019-09-30 20:34:51 UTC  

but they dont get it when they're over there

2019-09-30 20:34:53 UTC  

presume

2019-09-30 20:35:03 UTC  

we actually studied this
