No control group?

> Form your own opinion after a decade

After a decade, differences in your body will mostly be because you are 10 years older.

Such experiments are largely pointless because the only people doing them are people who care about their health. You are more likely to be healthy because of the totality of your life choices, not the specific things you do in the diet experiment.

Nope. Start simple. ( if you can do a full blown experiment with multiple people, by all means go for it)

>After a decade, differences in your body will mostly be because you are 10 years older.

Correct. (did, you think I did not know that?)

>Such experiments are largely pointless

I leave you to decide that, given there are no well controlled experiments in mainstream nutrition, we are left with imperfect choices. (There are small experiments that are conducted by either small groups or individuals, that are pretty high quality IMO).

Let me guess. All of this is to say that you leaned into eating saturated fat, got high cholesterol, and because nothing happened in 10 years, the converging lines of evidence that constantly replicate over a half century are wrong.

Or maybe you started smoking and because there were no RCTs on smoking, then nobody can actually know if it's bad for you, but your N=1 has more epistemic value because you feel okay.

Just getting flashbacks from those hokey "carnivore diet" videos that Youtube keeps wanting me to watch.
