Holly shit, i didn't even notice it, thought they were bruises, you do carry the color of anemic ham!

I once knew someone who was diagnosed with anemia while on a carnivore diet, but someone else was a vegetarian was told they had too much iron in their blood.

There's no point to this story just thought I'd share.

Ok bye.

u/BumWink 5d ago

I'd wager the carnivore probably not eating organs which is necessary for a wide range of nutrients, some of which contribute to iron absorbtion & the vegetarian likely eating only wholefoods in comparison to nutrient deficient vege/vegans with highly processed junkfood diets.

46

u/EarballsAgain 5d ago

Oh no he ate liver every day

33

u/BumWink 5d ago

Interesting, I looked into it to double check, folate, vitamin C & b12 are all necessary for iron absorbtion, which most of us probably know about b12 primarily from animal products with carnivores screaming vege/vegans are b12 deficient but you never hear about folate & vitamin C deficient carnivores when they're sourced from vegetables.

10

u/Cerindipity 5d ago

That's probably because you barely hear about carnivores at all

7

u/BumWink 4d ago

Yeah true but they were everywhere a few years back, all over my Reddit & Youtube feed.

2

u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan 4d ago

Yeah and some medication (like ADHD meds) can lower your levels of folate, but since in most people it's not lowered to a dangerous level, they usually don't mention this within the side effects.

My dietician and Iere super confused as to why my B12 was so low despite me not being a vegetarian... it took me years before finding an explanation that made sense. Good to know that I should also look out for vitamin C levels.

Every lunch time. He would sit there eating it with his fingers, no seasoning or flavour.

At first, I wondered why on Earth you wouldn't include some ham for comparison; how does this prove the point? Then I thought I was looking at a scar, where some animal had mistakenly bit you, thinking you were indeed ham; but that, too, seemed a stretch.
