“I think carnivores need calcium I know we need calcium humans need calcium but we don't get enough calcium from meat or eggs they're very small amounts and maybe we increase the amount of calcium that we absorb when we're on a high-protein diet but we're not gonna get enough in our diet and I fear the people are gonna be calcium negative and their PTH the parathyroid hormone is gonna rise that's not a good thing”
