Before accepting the conclusion that Stefansson and Andersen
thrived, you should have a look at the following references:

        McClellan WS, Rupp VR, Toscani V.  Prolonged meat diets
        with a study of the metabolism of nitrogen, calcium and
        phosphorous. J Biol

        Tolstoi E.The effect of an exclusive meat diet on the
