Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

I'll tell you that when I was a strict carnivore my A1C was 5.6 I've seen them at 5.8 on strict carnivores because their fasting blood sugar is so high all of the time so the amount of glycation is not always equal to blood sugar spikes it's it's a complicated equation my hemoglobin A1c runs between 4.8 and 5.2 depending on what I'm doing I've shown this in my blood work multiple times and that is significantly lower than many strict carnivores or people on ketogenic diets
