This is fascinating especially when recent research expounds on the benefits of going vegan. Thanks for sharing
I second the carnivore diet. Most impactful change in my life from Bitcoin so far . I just finished reading “Fiat Food” and, it’s mind blowing how corrupted “research” has become in the age of fiat. Highly recommend the book.

I really enjoyed Fiat Food.
Here's some of the other nutrition books that have been enlightening:
The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz: this one was a gateway drug for me, into the carnivore diet. Not that it's a big advocate of the carnivore diet, but it's a great read on the US nutritional guidelines, how unhealthy they are, how healthy foods like meat and eggs have been demonized, and the complete lack of evidence that saturated fats are bad for you. As a matter of fact it appears that the opposite is true. It's very well written and has won multiple awards. Once you realize how bad our current advice is, it opens your mind to alternative viewpoints.
Here's a couple more:
Toxic Superfoods
The Carnivore Code
The Carnivore Diet
Podcasts - I'm working my way through Shawn Baker's backlog, there's lots of great interviews and stories in there.

Yes, a lot of the research on vegan diets is very biased.
Take for example the new "documentary" on Netflix, "You Are What You Eat". The story is that they took a large set of identical twins, put one of the twins on a vegan diet, and the other on an "omnivore" diet. It was funded by a fake meat company (beyond burgers, I think).
Anyway, there's numerous critiques of this study. If you do a search on YouTube for "You Are What You Eat" vegan propaganda, you'll find some. Here's one of them:

Yes I saw the first 15 minutes of that Netflix “documentary” and knew it was going to be industrial sludge propaganda!
