My doctor told me that vitamin B12 deficiency is common these days, because we get B12 from bacteria that live in dirt and with how cleanly our food is now, you just don’t get the occasional dirt in your diet anymore (and the animals you might consume don’t really get that either).
So, maybe¹ eating dirt might actually be healthy.
¹) Okay, no. Get B12 supplements. They’re almost as cheap as dirt and don’t give you illnesses.
I think B12 is found in most animal products. Interestingly, rabbits are one of few strict herbivores, and have to eat their own feces because it contains some B12 produced by their intestinal tract, as they have too few other dietary sources
Perhaps you mean the standard diet, which is omnivore and 70% plant based already, in which case yes - lots of people are under eating essential animal proteins and at risk for deficiencies.
And also at risk for cardiovascular disease.
I’d love to see a non epidemiological source for this. Especially in zero carb carnivores, heck even ketogenic people, not the 70% plant based omnivore that is carb loading and eating processed food all day. We know from early pre westernizationed health surveys of carnivore populations they didn’t have CVD.
From my reading CVD is driven by inflammation and hyperinsulinemia. Zero carb carnivore fixes the insulin so the cardio vascular system works properly and can repair properly, and is very low inflammation.
How efficient! Why didn’t we think of this before? We can make vitamin B12 inside our bodies, but instead of just retaining it, we’ll make it so that it has to be shit out first then and re-ingested to be absorbed. Perfect!

I think there are less stupid reasons for B12 deficiency
I think B12 is found in most animal products. Interestingly, rabbits are one of few strict herbivores, and have to eat their own feces because it contains some B12 produced by their intestinal tract, as they have too few other dietary sources
Most carnivore humans are b12 deficient. And also at risk for cardiovascular disease.
Everyone should just take b12 and d supplements.
How are carnivores at high risk for B12 deficiency?

My knock off 5 hour energy gives me 20,000% of my daily dose of B12!
B12 isnt easily absorbed by the body, thats why supplements and food have wild daily portions, so even if you pee most of it, you still absorb some.
