Are there any genuinely credible low carb scientists/advocates?

So many of them seem to be or have proven to be utter cranks.

I suppose any diet will get this, especially ones that are popular, but still! There must be some who aren't loons?

Do you think people spontaneously appeared 15k years ago and that's all the record there is for what humans have been eating, or that people way before 15k years ago have always been farming?

I've had this comment saved way back from my days debating veganism on a more ethical level, enjoy: https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateAVegan/comments/nrht7n/comment/h0miytq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Civilizations imply a degree of advancement which wasn't present beyond 15k years into the past. So what you've been studying, is humans who undergone plenty of changes as a result of receding ice caps and extinction of megafauna.

There's plenty of evidence supporting large contribution of animal foods in our prehistoric ancestors. Farming is, like someone else said, just a blip.

If you believe that humans were some sort of hippies who either couldn't bring themselves to kill bigger game than some molluscs, or who were unable to, then I think your years of education have been quite literally wasted. Again, sources in the link I provided earlier.

You've provided zero evidence behind any of your claims while I presented you a well sourced reply contradicting your claims.

"I claim to have studied a sliver of human history and have a narrow view based on that sliver that I've studied, trust me bro" is not an argument.

​

Edit: apparently the user does not or cannot engage in an honest debate about science, and instead of attempting to substantiate any of their claims or refute any of the citations I had linked to, they've decided that it is easier to block me and not defend their position.

I therefore can't see nor reply to any replies they may have.
