My most controversial nutritional opinions, in no particular order, so the replies can pick a fight efficiently.

- Chicken tastes of nothing because it is nothing.
- Salt is a farming invention and I haven't added it in years.
- You do not need to eat liver. The animal was using it as a filter.
- Vegetables are very healthy, once a cow has eaten them.
- Fruit is bait with a stone in it.
- Fibre is a word for the part you cannot digest, sold as the point.
- Seed oils caused the diabetes. Sugar just turned up to help.
- Carbs are not poison. They are a hobby.
- Grass-fed is a label for the default. Every British cow is standing on the label.
- 30% fat mince was the normal mince. The lean stuff is the deviation.
- Butter lives on the counter. The fridge is for people who ration it.
- Raw milk is the only food on earth designed to be food.
- Olive oil is a seasoning the Mediterranean cooked in lard beside.
- Mutton beats lamb. The lamb was two years short of flavour.
- A bacon cheeseburger without the bun is as healthy as it gets.
- Sunburn is a seed oil problem wearing a sun costume.
- The only animal we cannot do without is the one that eats grass.

Every one of those is checkable, which is the part the replies find hardest.



Met alles eens, behalve zijn uitspraak over zout. Keltisch zeezout is letterlijk duizenden jaren oud.

Fasted, your growth hormone climbs several-fold to protect your muscle.

Fasted, your insulin drops low enough to let your own fat out of storage.

Fasted, you burn the fuel round your middle instead of waiting for a delivery.

Fasted, your brain switches on orexin, the chemical that keeps a hungry animal awake and alert.

Fasted for a few days, your metabolic rate goes up, not down.

Fasted, your muscles are still full of yesterday's fuel, because an overnight fast mostly drains the liver.

Fasted, your cells start breaking down and recycling their own worn-out parts.

Fasted, there is no mid-morning slump, because there was no breakfast.

Fasted, there's nothing sloshing about when you brace for a squat.

Every hunter in history went out on an empty stomach.

Nature never once put the hunt after breakfast.

Your vet still treats disease with food, and your doctor stopped, and the animals are doing better for it.

When the vet sees a fat pony with sore feet, she takes it off the grass and the grain, and the feet recover.

When the vet sees a diabetic cat, she takes it off the biscuits, puts it on meat, and a good share of them go into remission inside months.

When the vet sees a bullock with acid in its rumen, she cuts the barley, and the rumen settles.

When the vet sees a racehorse with ulcers, she gives it more hay and fewer concentrates, and the ulcers close.

When the vet sees a cow blown up like a drum on spring clover, she moves the herd off the clover.

When the vet sees a Labrador that waddles, she halves the kibble and bins the treats, and she does not write a prescription.

When the vet sees a horse with colic, her first question is what changed in the feed.

Every one of those is a metabolic disease, and every one of them is treated by changing what goes in the mouth, because the vet is paid to fix the animal and has nothing else to sell it.

When the doctor sees a fat diabetic, he writes a prescription, books a review in six months, and hands over a diet sheet with porridge and brown bread on it.

The cat gets its carbohydrate taken away. The patient gets his carbohydrate recommended.

The cat is in remission. The patient is on his second tablet.

Your dog's diabetes gets a diet. Yours gets a subscription.

Read what cholesterol does in the body, then read the side effects on a statin label, and they match like a confession.

What cholesterol does:
- Builds the brain, which hoards a quarter of the body's supply
- Wraps every nerve in its insulation
- Builds the connections your memories are stored in
- Lines every muscle cell
- Makes testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone
- Makes cortisol, the hormone that gets you through stress
- Helps turn sunlight into vitamin D
- Makes the bile that digests your fat
- Patches up damaged cells

What the statin label warns of:
- Memory loss
- Confusion
- Nerve damage in the hands and feet
- Muscle pain and weakness
- Muscle breaking down into the bloodstream
- Raised blood sugar and type 2 diabetes
- Raised liver enzymes

The drug works by jamming the liver's cholesterol factory, and the same production line makes CoQ10, the spark plug in every cell's engine.

A review found statins lower testosterone too.

The side effects read like a delivery map of everywhere the cholesterol was needed.

Six months into carnivore the blood test comes back and the surgery rings you in, and the number they're ringing about is the one that matters least.

What they'll say: your cholesterol has gone up. In a lean person eating fat it usually does, because the body is moving fat around in the blood to burn it, and the particles that carry it get counted as LDL.

What they won't mention:

- Triglycerides: down, often by half
- HDL: up
- HbA1c: down, into the range the cereal never reached
- Fasting insulin: down, if anyone bothered to measure it
- CRP: down
- Blood pressure: down
- Liver enzymes: down

The ratio that predicts a heart attack best on a standard panel is triglycerides divided by HDL, and carnivore drives it one way: towards the floor. The seven-minute appointment reads one line of the sheet and hands you a statin for it.

Take the full print-out home. The sheet tells the story the appointment didn't have time for, and the first line is the only one that went in a direction the surgery recognises as bad.
