There is no clinical evidence that the carnivore diet provides any health benefits

Contradiction -

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms

CONCLUSION: Idiopathic constipation and its associated symptoms can be effectively reduced by stopping or even lowering the intake of dietary fiber.

∴ ∃ clinical evidence that the carnivore diet provides some health benefits.
