158. Expert Reveals Why Carnivore with Honey, Fruit & Liver May Make You Sick - Dr. Richard Johnson
Hey guys!
I've been waiting to share this very important discussion with Dr. Richard Johnson for a long time! This discussion is critical for every meat-based carnivore, especially if you also eat organ meats, alcohol, honey, and/or fruit. Make sure to also check out my thoughts with @lauraspath on Cutting Against the Grain: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1848841/10012707
Dr. Johnson has published over 700 studies and is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado. He is also a clinician, educator, and researcher. He is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is the founding editor of Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, one of the main textbooks on kidney disease. For more than 20 years, he has led research on the cause of obesity and diabetes, with special interest in the role of sugar (especially fructose) and uric acid. His research has been highly cited, published in top medical journals, and supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health. He is the author of The Sugar Fix and The Fat Switch. Dr. Johnson lives in Colorado with his wife, kids, and two rambunctious puppies.
