  • I used to do that in the swimming pool (I have always lived far inland) it’s often called dangerous on the mistaken belief that it’s like shallow water drowning where someone hyperventilates to swim underwater longer; since those people have blown off so much CO2 they don’t get a signal to breathe and suffocate.

    Our method doesn’t involve hyperventilation, and wow does the need to breathe get strong













  • All of the scientific tests will compare people with a medical condition. No one can get ethics approval to put healthy people on a weird diet

    Type 2 diabetes studies at least shows that it reverses metabolic disorder; this implies the diet won’t kill you (a) quickly or (b) with metabolic disorder, which makes it better than the standard American diet

    The only one I know of that addressed healthy people was the lean mass hyper responder/Miami heart health comparison (the LMHR study) which compared arterial calcium between long term carnivore dieters with the general population. LMHR people have very high cholesterol and the study mapped their cholesterol to cardiac calcium versus the general population’s cholesterol and cardiac calcium

    But that’s just one biomarker and is only useful if your worry is cardiac disease.
