Regarding meat and too much acidity - maybe lots of animal fat buffers this?

Also, from everything I have read, it is magnesium that is more important than calcium for bone health - or rather, if you have a high calcium/low magnesium you get calcification of joints/organs etc. Green leafies are high in magnesium. This still doesn't really answer the question of why Bear has good bone health (let alone other issues of health) if his intake of these two minerals is 'low'.

I think on the Westonaprice.org they go into great detail about how real animal vitamin A is not toxic. Regarding vitamin C, the acu-cell.com site mentions how excessive vitamin C intake can lower the minerals zinc and copper in the body, which can actually increase infections. They mentioned ~1g vitamin C/day was not excessive. This is much more than one would get from animal products though.

Stefansson -

'The broadest conclusion to be drawn from our comfort, enjoyment, and long-range well-being on meat is that the human body is a sounder and more competent job than we give it credit for. Apparently you can eat 'healthy' on meat without vegetables, on vegetables without meat, or on a mixed diet....

...So you could live on meat if you wanted to; but there is no driving reason why you should. Moreover vegetables are fundamentally economical....

...The thing to do then, probably, is to go on as you have been doing, but adding to your mental equipment, if it be a novelty, the idea that several at least of the disadvantages of a meat diet are compensated for by advantages.'
