Dglgmut Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 http://news.discovery.com/human/human-ancestor-diet-nuts.htmlAn old article, but I found it recently. Looked into the raw food and paleo diets a bit, and evolution seems to be the key to finding the most healthy things to eat.Just thought I'd share this for people who maybe haven't thought about the significance of species' food history. And even if they have considered this, they may not have been aware of this finding... even though it's old :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrakusos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What? No deep fat? No hot fudge? Precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true. Humor aside, I agree that eating well is the key to living better and longer... but as the demise of Sally Ride demonstrates, you cannot control everything...

Dglgmut Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Actually I've read that fat is the ideal fuel for humans, preferable to carbs. I think it's because we didn't evolve with a meal schedule, and so the ability to store energy was better even than complex carbs which would provide steady, moderate lasting energy.

And no one lives past thirty." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
