Soldiers dying of dysentery during a siege is normal, stupid. They had no salt.

I knew you would go there and that's why I added the second quote where the caution is particularly about consuming fat - not salt or carbs. Dysentery has nothing to do with salt nor does diarrhea. Lack of salt can cause cramps, vomiting and nausea, not diarrhea.

I'm well aware. This method does not work with scallops, which have less than half the fat of shrimp.

Where do you get that info from? I've checked it and scallops contain about 0.6g fats in a 100g serving while shrimp is half that.
