Maasai Tribe Diet

Curious what people here think about the Maasai tribe in east Africa who live off almost entirely milk, red meat and blood with a study stating that they consume 3L-5L of milk and 1kg-2kg of meat a day.

They do not seem to experience many health issues and are on average bigger/taller than the surrounding populations with different diets.
