The ‘King’ Of Carnivore Diet Admits He Doesn’t Know The Long-Term Effects

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.

Many health professionals have cautioned against following an all-meat diet, as diets heavy in meat have been linked to negative health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer. While the carnivore diet strictly consists of meat, some followers may include eggs and dairy products. In contrast, plant-based diets have been shown to have numerous health benefits across a variety of health markers. 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.
