Its the diet humans ate before agriculture, so its got some longevity to it. However, it doesn't cure anything, it just removes everything that could be causing problems - the diet didn't fix it, removing the problem fixed it.
The only consistent thing anyone can claim about ancient human diet is how variable and adaptable it was to availability. Sure, large populations of ancient humans were carnivorous but that was more to do with living in temperate grasslands with a high amount of herd animals to provide protein and few fruit and nut bearing plants.
No claims made about any modern diet should be based on ancient or proto human diets, including paleo and all-meat or fruitarianism because ancient humans ate what they could get their hands on.
Ok, so we agree it isn't a fad. great.
Way to hear only what you want to hear from my argument, no wonder you think eating meat cures hay-fever.
If you read my comment, i was clear meat doesn't cure anything, its the removal of the foods that do sensitize some people to allergens that "cures" it.
You didn't make a cogent argument that zero carb is a fad, we both established that humans have eaten zero carb for a very long time - so we agree the eating pattern is not new.
People have always eaten plants. A lot of plants.
I'd link to some some scientific papers but fuck Elsevier.
Circling back to the top post of this thread - people have earnestly reported resolving seasonal allergies by eating zero carb. There could be lots of reasons for it :
In the 3/4 scenario something they were eating in today's food environment was causing them to be sensitive to pollen. Our food environment is hugely different then even 100 years ago, so it's hard to say what exactly is the cause, but we have reports that people eliminating many variables can resolve their issue. For the OP of this entire post that is useful information for them to have.
No doubt, but was it 85% of their energy like it is today? Or just opportunistic in season? Regardless it's off topic, the topic is allergies.
If you have actually read a paper cover to cover, and are willing to discuss it indepth - I'd be happy to read it too and have a conversation.
i like reading papers
