Shawn Baker, a prominent advocate for the carnivore diet, has admitted that he doesn't know the long-term effects of a high-meat diet on health. In a debate with a vegan doctor, Baker confessed that he is unsure if his diet will increase or decrease the likelihood of certain diseases or impact lifespan. Despite having a large following on social media, Baker acknowledged that his content may be more for entertainment purposes than for providing accurate health information.

Through his admission and lack of knowledge of the diet's long-term effects, Baker has raised concerns among health experts about the potential risks associated with promoting high meat consumption.
