Great post

There are many more physicians that warn against long term health effects of keto/paleo diet, including:
T. Colin Campbell, PhD.
Speaking of things that have been "debunked" - T. Colin Campbell, the first person on your list (and the only one whose name I have memorized), is the author of the thoroughly debunked China Study. That study is garbage. It has been demonstrated conclusively that the statistics were done incorrectly - either due to ineptitude or fraud. Campbell went into that study with a huge bias.
Also, the study contains a huge confound: all the people eating meat were also eating grains. Grains reduce to sugar in the gut, and sugar is a cheap form of energy that your body will burn off before it burns fat. So if you eat grains (sugar) AND meat (fat), your body burns the sugar as energy and stores the fat for later, either on your hips or in your arteries. Which means that yes, eating meat might be slightly bad for your health, IF YOU ARE ALSO EATING SUGAR/GRAINS. If you cut out grains and eat the way our paleolithic ancestors ate successfully for millions of years before modern grain-based agriculture stunted our growth and caused our teeth to rot out of our heads and our jaw-lines to recede, etc, all the problems associated with eating meat disappear. The China Study does not test for this.
Furthermore, Campbell's unfortunately extremely popular book, which is based on the China study (and from which most internet-based vegan health claims are drawn) draws conclusions that are not even supported by the debunked study itself.
The truth is that veganism results in chronic nutrient deficiencies that lead to disease. Every single person I know who is or was vegan for more than about 7 or 8 years (and I know several, including myself) is now suffering with a debilitating life-changing illness. By contrast, every person I know who has tried paleo or keto (including myself for the past 4 years now) has dropped down to their ideal weight and stayed there, seen significant gains in energy, mental clarity, has had health conditions clear up, skin looks better, etc etc etc. Obviously this is too new for there to be any real long-term research, but personally I'd bet the house on keto/paleo.
Dr. Myhill cites veganism as a risk factor for CFS/ME on her website. And I guarantee if we could accurately poll the people on PR, we'd find that the number of vegans and former vegans with CFS/ME far outstrips the number of vegans in the average non-ME population.
If you're going to do research, don't just read the vegan propaganda, most of which is based on faulty science. Read all of it and come to your own conclusions. In my personal experience and opinion, having read both sides, and as someone who is still a proponent of animal liberation and environmentalism, veganism is damaging to human health.
