The media has gone bananas over this Florida man on a carnivore diet who was eating 6 – 9 pounds of beef, butter and cheese daily and started “oozing” cholesterol from his skin. Is this this real report? Or is it problematic propaganda. In six minutes, I’ll reveal to you the real problem that this report brings to light. And, spoiler alert, the problem isn’t the meat.

One commentator said I, personally, was inconsolable over this case study. Let's see how a professional researcher breaks it down.

Lol, here is the entire case report, that I couldn't find for the earlier discussion.

40 y/o man, 3 week history of asymptomatic yellowish nodules on palms, soles, and elbows. 8 months of reported carnivore. 9lbs of cheese, sticks of butter, and extra fat into his daily hamburgers. Patient reported weight loss, increased energy, and improved mental clarity. TC > 1000 mg/dL, vs previous baseline of 210-300mg/dL. Xanthelasma was diagnosed.

That is it, That is the entire fucking case report. But damn, he lost weight eating 30,000 calories per day? that is interesting

Xanthelasma

I like how Nick Norwitz compared him to the Monty Python's Meaning of Life Fat Man

Imagine how his body would be dumping his excess fat intake – filling the toilet really should have told him he's doing something wrong

I really feel like someone was lying, or at least exaggerating

Quotes from various medical professionals Nick gathered on this case study:

"If I wrote that report as a first-year medical student my attending would have cut off my balls"

"This case report is so sloppy the should put it between burger buns and call it a sloppy joe"

"Where is that nun from game of thrones with the "shame" bell?"

"I'm no carnivore, but dang it, if this isn't a feather in the carnivore community's cap. Is this really JAMA CARDIOLOGY?"
