They are strongly implied to be cannibals, one reason this is not a good thing for humans is that it potentially leads to prion diseases (mad cow disease, scrape) which damage the brain. This might account for the Stormguards apparent savagery, with only a built in loyalty to Himiko keeping them organised (she apparently directed Mathias, why not her own guards).
