IS MEAT ROTTING YOUR COLON? (CARNIVORE DIET BEWARE!) - Doctor Reacts

Dr. Eric Westman addresses the concept that meat rots in the colon, a myth perpetuated primarily by vegan influencers online. Instead, he explains how such misinformation can mislead well-meaning individuals. Meanwhile, he highlights insights from Dr. Ken Berry and his focus on the low-carb keto diet as part of his holistic health approach.

One essential aspect of digestion is the role played by stomach acid. Human stomachs have a pH level between 1.5 and 2.5, which begins to digest meat almost immediately after consumption. However, common vegan misconceptions wrongly assert that human digestive pH resembles that of herbivores.

When meat enters the stomach, it is exposed to pepsin and hydrochloric acid, starting its breakdown. This process continues in the small intestine with enzymes like trypsin further dismantling the meat into molecular levels, effectively preventing any meat from reaching the colon.

Through real-world experience involving patients with ostomy bags, Dr. Westman gathered evidence that dispels the myth of undigested meat in human colons. Rather than meat, these bags usually contain remnants of fiber-rich plant foods—not meat. Foods such as nuts, corn, and beans can often be found, underscoring the indigestibility of cellulose, which veroifies the myth busting success.

  • Oats, nuts, corn, and beans persist in ostomy outputs due to their cellulose content.
  • Meat is efficiently absorbed well before reaching the large intestine.

Dr. Westman consulted an ostomy nurse, reaffirming meat’s absence in ostomy bags through cinematic and testing testimonies. These attestations, along with past engagements with similar cases, reinforce the understanding that meat digestion concludes far before colonic entry. Dr. Westman's videos often serve educational purposes for both new enthusiasts and seasoned professionals looking for verified information in fields related to digestion and nutrition.

The belief that meat deteriorates in the colon is clearly a myth, bolstered by scientific evidence and clinical practice findings. While emphasizing the importance of sharing verified nutritional information, Dr. Westman also welcomes further perspective from personal experiances of people favoring plant foods or meat-based diets.

Meat does not rot in your colon; rotting occurs mainly in undigested plant fibers rich in cellulose that the human gut cannot break down.
