    Neanderthal diet

    Santaman, unfortunatly the stats are screwed about fat cv risk and etc. High cholesterol is not a health problem rather the reverse if your over 50 and dont have an elevated level the stats clearly show a very much higher risk of other degenerative diseases. The surgeon generals reports...

    Neanderthal diet

    Rather ironically the low fat issue/high fat issue does not apply. People with lower than normal cholesterol levels are statistically more prone to strokes. There is no conclusive evidence that high cholesterol levels cause cardiovascular disease either. Low fat diets have been indicated in...

    Neanderthal diet

    Swallow old chap. A real paleo diet would probably include about a cupful of hard fought for roots and other carbs a day of which about 30% would be inedible fibre, nuts, seeds berries when in season. When you are compeating against the birds, the season will be very short. . A properly...

    Neanderthal diet

    As has been pointed out we as Homo Sapiens are the sum total of many differing strains of 'human'. We are basically a genetic mongrel, all dogs are dogs some are genetically 97% wolf, others are in the 40%. Neanderthals are a very small part of your genetic make up, though in there own time...

    Neanderthal diet

    Did I advocte fad diets? Dont think so, what is well documented is a lean protien diet high in omegas 3/6 ration not 6/3. Low refined foods etc etc. It was observed by one early dietary researcher that 'the first thing man did when he learned to walk upright was to brew alcohol so he could get...

    Neanderthal diet

    What also never comes to light is that there is archeological evidence to suggest many strands of humanity have evolved and died out because of poor dietary practice. Genetically we are in effect the sum total of those strands that survived and crossbreed. What we are beginning to see is a...
