    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.

        Most carnivore humans are b12 deficient.

        How are carnivores at high risk for B12 deficiency?

        https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional/

        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!
