Over the past two years I have fallen down a medical rabbit hole that has revealed some really weird things to me. I don’t know how to explain it convincingly so I’ll just get it out:

The reason why this is happening is also part of why autism is going up (even when controlled for broader diagnosis) and autoimmune complaints are going up, as well as many other things. It’s because we have systematically eliminated fat and red meat from our diets over the past half decade, and also because we dialed up on sugar. In a bizarre plot twist, it turns out that everything we think about diet is wrong and a diet of beef, beef tallow and salt not only doesn’t screw up your cholesterol, it fixes almost every medical problem that people have. Again, it’s too wild for me to convince anyone. It’s too crazy. If you don’t believe me then go see for yourself. Meatrx slash success stories.

Extraordinary claims require.. one anecdote? Globally we eat more meat per person today than ever before. Only very few people have been on a high beef diet ever in this world
This is actually incorrect. For millions of years humans ate nothing but animals. When you eat an entire animal, including its organs, you are getting every macronutrient and micronutrient required by the human body. The forms that vitamins take in animals are the most bioavailable to humans.

We have been eating meat and saturated animal fat much longer than abundant carbohydrates have even existed. Combine this with the fact that all your health problems go away on carnivore, it’s pretty obvious that we were designed to eat meat.

It isn’t until you go carnivore that you realize how a plant based diet is actively trying to destroy your mouth and take away your teeth. Do you think ancient humans were brushing their teeth and flossing?

And it’s not just that your health problems go away. You become practically super human. You get ripped without going to the gym. Reports of higher energy and mental clarity are practically universal.

I know it sound crazy and that’s why I qualified my comment the way I did. There are hundreds of video testimonies that back up what I say on meatrx.

One of the things that is also universal is an increase in testosterone and aggressiveness.

I have not eaten meat for over 5 years and I am extremely "ripped". I can power clean 2x my body weight and run a 10.5s 100m.

Sure, eating meat is healthier than eating carbs all day, but that's not the only alternative.

A toast to good health
100% true. To be fair, we don't know 1887 testosteroms levels.
It’s actually false
Based on Teddy Roosevelt I’m guessing about 10x what it is now
Not a fair comparison as Teddy Roosevelt had enough testosterone to fuel a small planet of low-T men.
this is global, but eating beef regularly isn't / has never been a global thing
It was all people ate for millions of years
