You are simply way behind. You need to do more research.
Why don't you provide just a couple of the studies that show vegetable intake is associated with bad outcomes?

Certainly don’t mean to be argumentative here either. I just am always looking for the unbiased truth, regardless of what my culture told me the last 54 years.Lots to unpack (at least for me) here. Are you saying that each of those doctors support carnivore, or something other than the Standard American Diet (including avoiding saturated fat and eat veggies)? I'm not trying to be super argumentative here, I'm just trying to narrow the issue before I look through some of those physicians.
I started with Attia - who I follow and respect (although I don't think he does research). I was able to quickly find a newsletter in which he takes issue with the "Game Changers" documentary, and the Standard American Diet, but while he doesn't agree with the negative views on meat from the documentary, I didn't see that he was also taking the position that vegetables and fruit aren't good for you. I could have missed it, but I went a good bit over 10 minutes in getting to that point.
Attia does lots of research. Lots on epigenetics as does Rhonda Patrick. He began as a ER surgeon and now mostly studies longevity I believe. He was a long distance swimmer, like 20 miles from island to island. Carb loaded before and after because of course that is what you are supposed to do. Then found out he was prediabetic….even when doing the most strenuous exercising possible. Then he figured out what was going on. So that is one real life example you can extrapolate how you wish.
Just a quick real life close to home response. I personally didn’t know that I actually was feeling bad while eating what we all were told was good for you like fruits and veggies….until I stopped about 95%. Had no idea what no gas, no bloating, no inflammation no digestion issues felt like until I concentrated on very largely wild meat, eggs, salmon, etc. All mentioned issues gone… until I decide to eat carbs including “good fiberous plants”. And I am just guessing there are lots of other folks who have no idea how it feels to not have those issues.Why don't you provide just a couple of the studies that show vegetable intake is associated with bad outcomes?

Not sure who is biased here.
Saladino wrote the Carnivore Code I already mentioned (and read). Is that the support for vegetables are bad?
I agree with you - I was responding to the @bdan68 post recommending Saladino as a source. I've read the Saladino book, and just opened it again to look for some of the "vegetables are bad" points and came across a reference to a study - IN MICE - that broccoli can damage DNA. I will look in a moment in the index for kale and spinach, but I expect to find more of the same.It's support in the sense that he supports the idea that vegetables are bad.
I mean support in the scientific sense. Like just one big study with lots of people followed over a long time where a curious tendency for people who eat more fruits and vegetables to get cancer/heart disease/diabetes/whatever is noted.
You have to have an observation before you have a hypothesis. He has a hypothesis that makes no sense given what we've observed.
I made a joke earlier about it being akin to saying that smoking is good for you, but it's really not that different. 85-90% of smokers won't get lung cancer. But we know that smoking is associated with it, and no one questions it.
I think my time spent looking is limited to the Saladino book. Can you point me to a source, ideally that has some science in it? I have an open mind, but I’m a skeptic.Plenty of other sources for the negative effects of eating vegetables, if you look, and if you have an open mind.
