Actually that was a great resource. I looked up all the names of people who promote this diet to find out when they died, so I could calculate all-cause mortality of people promoting carnivore versus people promoting any one of (mediterranean, vegetarian or vegan).  Most are still alive (and young).

This "study" of mine suffers from selection bias. I have to pick people who are known, known to have strongly promoted and followed the diet, and who died, and we know what age they died at (the reason they died is not included because that is too easy to fake or lie about or requires us to investigate uncertain causal links -- even when we know it was a car accident for example).

I'm happy to add more people if they are famous and the data for them is published, it's an open ongoing study. To counteract my selection bias, I encourage you to point me to more Carnivore people who lived long, or more Vegetarian people who died young.  But they have to be famous known people who publicly promoted the diet.

I added my ancestors to the vegetarian list even though they don't fit the criteria, because their data doesn't actually change the number much (makes it slightly lower) and it just makes it more certain for me that this isn't some mistake.


Carnivore (this group just started with your data, thank you):

	Owsley Stanley: 			76
    Vilhjalmur Stefansson:	83
	Barry Groves				 77
	Walter L Voegtlin			71
	Blake F Donaldson		73
	Atkins						     72
	Dr. Alfred W Pennington  56
	Charles Poliquin			 57

	Average:  70.625

Mediterranean, Vegetarian or Vegan:

    Dame Harriette Chick		102
	Caldwell Esselstyn			 90
	Blackburn, Henry				97
    John Harvey Kellogg		   91
    Ancel Keys						100
    Jack Lalanne					   96
    Nathan Pritikin				   69
    Jeremiah Stamler			  102
	Ellen G White					 87
    My G. Great Grandma Gass	99  (SDA vegetarian)
    My Great Grandma Paxton	 89  (SDA vegetarian)
    My Grandma                           79  (SDA vegetarian)

Seems like the carnivore people die 20 years younger.
