Which vitamins are missing from meat?

Vitamin C, a vitamin that all carnivores make in large quantities, 10 g/day for human-size. Primates are probably the only omnivores that do not make it. The rest are herbivores. People also say vitamin E, but i don't know. 30% fewer calories w/ correct vitamins = 30% longer life

This is wrong. Meat is nutrient sufficient. Vegetables are not (low vitamins A, B12, D, fatty acids, E and K)https://twitter.com/ketoaurelius/status/1083419234749825027?s=21 …

Carnivore Aurelius © @KetoAureliusI've mapped out RDAs / nutrients on the Carnivore Diet
RDAs were created following the SAD. Carbs & veggies have many anti-nutrients
You can hit most major RDAs with well formulated carnivore diet
BUT, you can't hit RDAs from beef alone. You need liver and eggs / brain pic.twitter.com/SQjbnfkatFShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likes -
You're saying it's wrong to say carnivore diet is low on Vit C when your spreadsheet confirms it? Where the heck are carnivores getting their calcium?

Read the tweet. Without the anti nutrients from vegetables, blood levels of vitamin C are perfect. RDAS don’t account for this

Tell me about scurvy.

Red meat is a known cure of scurvy. It has enough vitamin c to cure it but the USDA just assumed it had 0. Glucose also blocks vitamin c absorption and requires you to eat more

Just checked a couple of articles on scurvy on http://pubmed.com Most of the cases were treated with veggies and citrus fruits. Not with meat. Meat doesn't look like a known cure for scurvy.

The issue isn't curing scurvy, you can do that with a vitamin pill. Issue is whether an all-meat diet gives enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, and to do other good things vitamin C might do, such as help the immune system. I haven't seen enough evidence either way on this one.

Replying to @NickSzabo4 @e_litae and
Could it be that some people are genetical built for eating meat, while some are not? We have different blood types and all sorts of different builds. It seems a bit off for me from a logical standpoint that we assume that all are alike. Any research on this thesis?

There are some genetic adaptations to agriculture but they are partial and incomplete, e.g. lactase persistence allows its possessors to digest milk sugar as adults, but lactase persistent people can still develop allergies to cow or sheep's or goat's milk.

Genetically, some people don't respond as well to the keto / high fat diets if they have familial hypercholesterolemia or don't produce as much bile in the liver. But that's rare. Carnivore would work great for the very large majority of people
