It's interesting, because while I can see where you're coming from, it's extremely to take any of this seriously given the low-carb reaction to the PURE study 6 months ago

Yes, I said as much but an hour ago. https://twitter.com/KetoCarnivore/status/1032723846212853761?s=19 … There is definitely a double standard in some folks, but not all of us. It's too bad, because it hurts progress.

Fair enough. It is also weird to see people so vehemently against the idea that there may be some detrimental health impacts to look out for when on an extremely restrictive diet, something that appears both obvious and fairly trivial

Not really, because restrictive is a relative term. We don't eat just anything. To take that to its logical extreme: how restrictive is it not to eat arsenic? The further the enculturated diet from the evolved diet, the less it seems like restriction and the more like prudence.

Ok then: restrictive of micro/macronutrients known to prevent disease Honestly I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's no more problematic to say that low-carb diets may increase your risk of, say, bowel cancer than to point out that vegan diets can cause anemia

Bowel cancer? Now you're bringing in a whole other belief based on problematic methodology. It's not comparable to anemia in vegetarians at all. Vegetarians are known to get anemia. Low carb ancestral societies historically had negligible cancer rates before Westernisation.

Low carb ancestral societies had a life expectancy of 30, similar to high carb ancestral societies, drawing any conclusions from them is fraught in the extreme

That's because infant mortality drags down the average.

Regardless, most people died far before the danger zone for developing chronic diseases. It is extremely problematic to make any conclusions based on, for example, the Maasai

Ok. We could talk about Mongolians and other nomadic peoples, but it's a bit of a tangent. Do you think a diet providing excellent health through childhood and reproductive years is likely to be deficient in micronutrients, such that chronic diseases were just around the corner?

That's an leading question. I don't think you can describe the disease-ridden state of any ancestral peoples as "excellent"
