I got permabanned from the Friendly Carnivore com and I think that's really funny. (lemmy.today)

I eat meat, but man do I see some dumb shit posted on that com. Apparently I called someone too hard on their bullshit. Hardcore carnists sure are fucking delicate. Maybe they should get a little more fiber in their diet.

Would you know which species does what, exactly?

    There is a whole concept out there about the microbiome in the human gut and how a more diverse microbiome can protect you from a lot of things, that is all.

    And if some funny thing like Clostridium difficile comes knocking I'd rather have a diverse microbiome so there is no space for it, that's all basic and boring ecology.

    But for me it's EOT here, since you can't argue against a believe system.

    But for me it’s EOT here, since you can’t argue against a believe system.

    That is exactly the problem, you brought your belief without evidence and there is no way to persuade someone out a position they 'believed' themselves into.

    And if some funny thing like Clostridium difficile comes knocking I’d rather have a diverse microbiome so there is no space for it, that’s all basic and boring ecology.

    This is actually a fun myth! zero-carb carnivores have a very diverse gut microbiome. We have posted about this before - https://discuss.online/post/39760974 - [Paper] Long-term adherence to the carnivore diet and its impact on the gut microbiota: a cross-sectional study - 2026

    The issue is that the literature really doesn't understand the mechanisms of the gut microbiome at all, it's early days - the publication is mostly observational and associative. Lots of assumptions are being made.
