Slovak Doctor Warns Against Carnivore Diet, Citing Colon Cancer Risks

A Slovak medical expert has criticized the carnivore diet, warning that the eating plan based exclusively on animal products significantly increases the risk of colon cancer. Dr. Bajer described the diet, which eliminates all plant foods including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as essentially "earning oneself colon cancer." The carnivore diet has gained popularity among followers who consume only meat and other animal products, directly contradicting mainstream nutritional recommendations that emphasize fiber intake and plant-based foods. Despite having numerous adherents who claim health benefits, medical professionals warn that the complete absence of fiber and exclusive consumption of red meat poses serious long-term health risks, particularly for colorectal cancer development.
