I need to protect the people from the carnivore diet meme

Many of these cell types use carbs preferentially, and in some people if the go 100% animal product, they'll see some problems
-
Yes...it works for some people and not others. I know many people that go carnivore/long term keto without cycling and they develop dry eyes and sleep like shit.

Mucosal dryness is typically associate with vitamin deficiencies, like low magnesium or B12 anemia. This isn’t from lack of carbohydrates but rather lack of meat protein.
-
I agree with the first part. But the glycan still needs carb oligosaccharides to make mucin. Some are then further glycosylated to give the mucosal barrier it's innate properties.
-
There are enough carbohydrates in meat and especially organs — I’m a proponent of eating organs — for this, if that is indeed the reason for dry mucosa and not a vitamin A, magnesium or (less likely) niacin deficiency. Also, carnivore =/= ketogenic diet.
