[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77606391, member: 330042"] Inuit ate raw meat, including organ meats and parts of animal bodies that are foreign to western diets (including stomach contents of animals) during the winters, something that isn't generally advisable if you want to avoid parasitic infections or food poisoning. They also didn't exist on an exclusively carnivorous diet. They ate berries and wild plants during the short summers. Masai also didn't exist exclusively on meat and dairy- honey constituted a significant portion of the calories they consumed. So they aren't a good example of a carnivorous population. This abstract discusses research into the tradition Greenland natives diet, and how it included a significant amount of algae. So they likely did obtain most of their vitamin C they needed from meat, but from algae. [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34232845/[/URL] At any rate, appeal to traditional diets in and of itself isn't the best indicator of what a healthy diet should be. Most Masai died traditionally in late middle age, as did peoples in the Arctic. It was a healthy enough diet to survive and reproduce, but by modern standards their diets reflect a marginal existence and are hardly optimum for human health. While glucose can compete with vitamin C, meat has so little vitamin C that I doubt that even enhanced absorbtion from a low sugar diet would make much of a difference. It's certainly not optimum for immune, cardiovascular, or joint health. Scurvy among people eating a carnivorous diet is documented in the medical literature, and isn't a purely academic concern. There are so few people eating an exclusively carnivorous diet, however, that cases are rare.
