In this part of the video, Dr. Ken Berry addresses the concern of whether a carnivore diet can cause scurvy, sparked by an article from Health Digest. He critiques the article for asking a leading question but then failing to provide a clear answer. Dr. Berry explains that scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, typically provided by fruits and vegetables. However, he points out that on a carnivore diet, which is very low in sugar, the body’s requirement for vitamin C is reduced because vitamin C and glucose compete to enter cells. Therefore, he asserts that a carnivore diet does not increase the risk of scurvy.
