Plain-English Summary
Carnivore Microbiome Case studied carnivore diet in One healthy 32-year-old male adhering to a carnivore diet compared with control groups. The case report found no alpha-diversity, beta-diversity, or functional-capacity differences compared with control groups.
Key Findings
- The case report found no alpha-diversity, beta-diversity, or functional-capacity differences compared with control groups.
- The carnivore case microbiome was dominated by Firmicutes and genera including Faecalibacterium, Blautia, Lachnospiraceae, Bacteroides, and Roseburia.
- The authors called for cross-sectional and longitudinal research on short- and long-term gut-health effects.
Limitations
- Single-person case study.
- No randomized comparator or long-term clinical endpoint.
- Microbiome composition is difficult to translate directly into health outcomes.
Why It Matters
The case report found no alpha-diversity, beta-diversity, or functional-capacity differences compared with control groups.
