Carnivore Diet May Cause Glycine Deficiency Despite High Meat Consumption
Dr Eric Berg
The Best Anti-Aging Advice I Wish I Knew
What was said
"Even when someone becomes a carnivore and consumes mostly steak and they don't consume nose to tail, they can also be deficient in glycine. Meat, by the way, is very low in glycine. It's high in other amino acids but not glycine."
The speaker challenges popular carnivore diet assumptions by revealing that standard steak consumption provides insufficient glycine despite adequate protein. This contradicts the belief that meat-heavy diets automatically supply all essential nutrients, as modern tender cuts contain only 1-3% collagen compared to traditional nose-to-tail eating.
