If anyone ever mentions anything about nutrition, I'm going to bring up Nina Teicholtz.
Her amazing book The Big Fat Surprise (This book is blowing my mind - The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz was what got me interested - first in eating lots more red meat, then going low-carb, and then carnivore.
Although she doesn't explicitly promote the carnivore diet, the evidence that she cites points in that direction.
Also she had an excellent article recently on her substack, about just how bad our nutritional guidelines are, and how the new 2025 version is even worse than the previous versions.

Here's a summary of the key points of the updated guidelines, all of which are terrible nutritionally:
- Reducing red and processed meats;
- Replacing poultry, meat, and eggs with peas, beans, and lentils as sources of protein;
- No limits on ultra-processed foods; and
- Continued caps on saturated fats, to be replaced by vegetable (seed) oils.
