What’s the most solid research out there to show that red meat 🥩 is safe to eat daily and not a harm to your health?

I hear this claim made but there are decades of research saying that it’s bad. I’d like to believe the claims and am ready to give carnivore diet a try but am getting resistance from loved ones because we have heart attacks in our family history.

Podcast interviews and YouTube videos aren’t enough. Links to studies super helpful.

I've been carnivore for about six months. I got alot of resistance from friends and family, especially because one of my besties is a natropath. If you want get past them you can say it's just a thing you're trying for 6-12 months. Even my natropath friend admitted in the short term it will likely have good results, but I think she's been suprised by my weight loss and the fact that a condition I've had for a decade has been greatly reduced so now I can and have been exercising again. I have energy and a clearer head. Although I take some supplements she insisted on.

All that to say, I would like to see some data if it exists too. I've been taking the I'm basically a meat machine so it makes sense to me to run me on a diet of meat. But the great improvements to my life I've seen mean I don't really want to go back but I may face some resistance from family and friends by next year if I don't.

Humans have many adaptations for meat consumption (teeth, stomach acidity more intense than most carnivores & comparable to scavengers, lengthened short intestine, shorter long intestine, small numerous fat cells, and more)

Evidence of animal butchery is prevalent in archeological examination of human evolution.

While meat-eating is universal among human cultures, your ability to consume plants will likely depend on your particular heritage. Some people will be more tolerant of fruit or starchy roots than others. The same is true for dairy.

That paper is fascinating. No tooth cavities until 15,000 years ago when plants became regular part of diet.

If you're interested in dental health I strongly recommend Nutrition & Physical Degeneration by Weston A Price

Making it a temporary commitment is a good idea. I’m planning to do a 30 day soon. Then I’d like to see if I can go for months.

30 days is a bit too short. That's just past hit biome initial adaption. Minimum recommended time is 3 months by nearly everyone that I've listened to or read.
