I have been on the carnivore diet for almost three years. From the start, raw eggs have been a big part of my diet. My go-to recipe is one dozen yolks mixed with bone broth.

They do not state what an optimum level is because there is none. Information like this then gets circulated by journalists, and the result is a perpetuation of dietary myth. Who doesn't think that plant fiber and so-called phytochemicals (phytonutrients) aren't great for our health? After all, we hear about their virtues all the time. How true is this?
