Hello. Today I’m going to teach you why carnivores need a very, very small amount of vitamin C, almost none. And for you, those of you who only like Jubilee videos, those will be out soon, okay? Don’t worry. And here we have a little painting drawn by carnivores because humans are and were carnivores. They weren’t draw weren’t drawing uh little pictures of broccoli. How How do you even draw broccoli? No one knows. It’s a stupid plant. Yeah. Okay, let’s go. Requirements and competition. Okay, guys. Let’s look at glucose. Look at vitamin C. You may notice they’re quite similar. Look at that. Wow. They’re almost the same. And what this means actually is that glucose and vitamin C compete for something called the glute 4 transporter. Because they are so molecularly similar uh to get into cells, they both use glute 4. Now, what this means for carnivores is that when you get rid of glucose from the diet, glute 4 is wide open for vitamin C. Okay? Okay, so this is the first reason why you need a lot less vitamin C on a carnivore diet among the six next reasons, but this is the first reason. And uh yeah, this is pretty beautiful how nature works out. When you dart pouring sugar down your throat, uh you actually need a lot less vitamin C. It’s pretty beautiful. And in fact, guess what? I wouldn’t supplement vitamin C if I were you on a carnivore diet because excess vitamin C actually goes into oxylic acid, aka oxali oxalates. So here we have the oxidized version of vitamin C and then guess what both these pathways oxylic acid okay and oxalates actually and here’s an argument against consuming any oxalates at all by the way oxalates deplete your torine because torine is used to detoxify things even heavy metals from fish have a lot of torine but then some of that will be used to detoxify heavy metals like you know oysters are full of torine and yeah so every time you mega dose vitamin A lot of that will go to oxalates which have to be detoxified. Not all of them can be. This will also deplete your torine. Okay. Now, what’s interesting is some diabetics can actually develop scurvy like symptoms due to chronically high blood sugar blocking the uptake of vitamin C. So, some of these diabetics because they have so much glucose in the blood, it’s blocking the glute 4 completely. So, they can get scurvy. You could be a diabetic shoveling fruit down your mouth, but if you have chronically high, super elevated blood sugar, guess what? You can literally have scurvy essentially, at least the symptoms of it. Number two, meat contains vitamin C. All animal cells, including meat, contain vitamin C in the cytoplasm, just like human cells, right? So, just logically, if you have an animal and you kill it, then you eat a pound of that animal, that will have vitamin C in it. If it didn’t, that animal would have been dead already. It’s an essential nutrient. Okay. Now, the FDA usually labels meat as having no vitamin C, not because it actually has none, but because they decide the amount isn’t worth mentioning, which is arbitrary. It’s a value judgment statement. It’s not scientific. And on top of that, many nutrient tests were done after removing the water, which makes the vitamin C content even lower than it actually is in fresh meat. Same with torine, etc. So, it’s important to remember the less fresh and cooked meat uh I’m I have autism. I can’t read properly. Point is, the more you cook your meat, the less fresh your meat is. The more down here it is, the less vitamin C and torine and etc. it will have. So if you are going to cook your meat, this is the sweet spot right there. Historical evidence. So in the Napoleonic Wars, soldiers developed scurvy on dried biscuits and minimal meat. And here we can see a 4K image of this happening. This is proof. Okay, you can’t dispute this. It’s in 4K. Sorry. And Napoleon actually slaughtered horses and used fresh horsemeat to cure scurvy even when there were still carbs in the fresh horsemeat a little bit. Here’s you can you can pause to read. Point is this this was kind of a separate thing like with with um the ship. This was a bad image placement. The point is uh I guess okay this is really unorganized. Okay. I’m sorry. Let’s talk about sailors. Okay. That was bad. Okay. Sailors. So officers with fresh meat access did not get scurvy. Okay, this is important to understand. They were not the ones getting scurvy. Sailors who ate dried biscuits plus some dried salted meat did get scurvy and they would eat these things called hard tac. This is what they were eating. These are the people who got scurvy. Okay, it was A piece of is what they were eating. Okay, next example. Tribes. Again, we have the Inuit, the Masai, the Hodza, the Kalahari, thriving without scurvy on meat-based, very low carb diets, especially the Inuit. They literally only eat meat most of the year, raw meat. They do eat some of the organs, some of the blood and the muscle meat, and they don’t get scurvy. Okay, scurvy’s done. Collagen amino acid pathways. So, vitamin C is often cited as needed for collagen synthesis, the hydroxilation of proline such lly. Okay. Now, carnivore diets supply hydroxyproline and lysine directly from the protein. I I talk about this a lot, okay? Reducing the need for vitamin C. Once again, when you’re eating meat, you’re getting hydroxycine, hydro hydroxyproline in the diet. You don’t need to synthesize it. You’re also, if you eat something like chicken skin or other more collagenous cuts of meat, you get glycine in the meat as well, okay? You get collagen in the food you’re eating. And you’ll notice people’s skin looks better who actually consume collagenous cuts of meat and just meat in general, especially raw meat. Other nutrients like retinol, vitamin D3, K2, MK4 version, support collagen synthesis and tissue health, further reducing the need for much vitamin C. Awesome. Chromium and glute regulation. So chromium upregulates glute 4 receptors which increases vitamin C uptake into cells. And chromium is going to raise on on carnivore diet. Again, things like oysters, muscle, shrimp, pork, beef, eggs all have chromium. Awesome. This mechanism can further reassure carnivores. Uh concerned about vitamin C absorb. Why can I not read well? Maybe it’s these glasses. Yeah, I just put these glasses on. It just ruined me. Um now, when is there risk of deficiency? If you are worried about the vitamin C on a carnivore diet, uh eating only overcooked or dried meats along with pasteurized dairy could be a concern due to the vitamin C being deficient in both foods accompanied by carbs, especially pasteurized milk. People are like, “Bro, who cares about the vitamin C in pasteurized milk?” Well, you know, I kind of care because there is uh lactose, which will break down into glactose and glucose in milk. No, it doesn’t break down into fiber. By the way, some people are saying that stupid No, it doesn’t. Uh still uh point is these carbohydrates will compete for the glute for transporter. They will cause a little bit of glycation depending on how much you drink. Okay. Point is, you need some raw dairy, raw meat, and diets. At least rare meat to be okay. All right. Practical observations. Many carnivores report improved gum or teeth health compared to high carb and even supplementing vitamin C. Gum bleeding common on mixed diets despite supplements. It disappears on carnivore in the case studies we see. High dose of vitamin C supplation is unnecessary and potentially harmful with the oxalates. Next, this is just a promotion. You may end the video if you’d like. But if you did find this valuable and you do want to improve your looks and health and you you like this type of information, you generally kind of want to see what I have to offer, you can check out the school community if you would like to. Okay, that’s what I built it for. Here are all the courses if you’re interested. There you are. There’s a lot and there’s more being added. Okay, so yeah, you can look through that uh links in the description for more info if you do want to improve your looks and health. We’ve gotten people a lot of good results in there. I have all my health guides just like this one and step-by-step guides. So, yeah, thank you uh for watching. Peace.
