schema:text	Photographs shared on social media (archived, archived, archived) in January 2025 claimed to show the palms of a man who experienced "yellow nodules" on his hands after eating only beef, butter and cheese, also known as the carnivore diet. One such post (archived) shared on Reddit received more than 56,000 upvotes at the time of this writing: Doctors described the case in a Jan. 22, 2025, article in the journal JAMA Cardiology titled "Yellowish Nodules on a Man Consuming a Carnivore Diet." Because of this, the claim is true. According to the report, a man in his 40s experienced "asymptomatic yellowish nodules on his palms, soles, and elbows" for three weeks. Eight months earlier, he had adopted a so-called carnivore diet. "His dietary habits included a high intake of fats, consisting of 6 to 9 lb of cheese, sticks of butter, and additional fat incorporated into his daily hamburgers," wrote the case report's authors, Drs. Konstantinos Marmagkiolis, Jaime Caballero, and Cezar Iliescu. "He reported weight loss, increased energy, and improved mental clarity." Upon examination, doctors found "multiple painless yellowish nodules" on the man's palms and elbows. His cholesterol had exceeded 1,000 mg/dL – five times what is considered normal. Doctors diagnosed the man with xanthoma, a condition described by the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology as a skin growth caused by built-up cholesterol deposits. StatPearls, an online platform that provides medical and health care information, reports that xanthomas are usually benign but often are a "visible sign of systemic diseases." The man's xanthoma was likely caused by hypercholesterolemia, which the Cleveland Clinic describes as a lipid disorder in which a person's low-density lipoprotein (LDL) — often called bad cholesterol — is too high. Hypercholesterolemia is best treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight. "This case highlights the impact of dietary patterns on lipid levels and the importance of managing hypercholesterolemia to prevent complications," the case report's authors wrote.
