Exactly. I haven't watched video yet but my first thought is how can you "debunk " a natural , unprocessed whole food diet? Is basically how everyone ate before mass production and fast food chains when there was practically no obesity and heart disease and much lower cases of cancer, migraines, allergies, to name a few. But without the grains. I didn't realize gluten and beans were the cause of my stomach bloat, allergies and headaches till I went Paleo. So again, how can you "debunk" science -based facts where most if not everyone has same results.

Exactly..

Do we didn't eat fruit, and vegetables mostly sugar

You are right. They didn't eat dairy either. I'm basing my health journey on the blue zones. The blue zones have been studied in real time with no guessing on what they eat or don't eat. Mainly plant based with very small amounts of meat on special/celebratory occasions. No sugar, no wheat, no dairy. Whole food carbohydrates like potato, sweet potato and rice with lots of veges and salad. This has been very healing for my autoimmune disease.

Sometimes I have difficulty understanding everything the speakers say in videos on KZfaq. I grasp the main points, but I may struggle with a few words (this largely depends on the speaker's enunciation). Therefore, I often rely on auto-generated subtitles (and definitely not auto-translation) to help me with any words that might escape me. One day, I was watching a video by Rhonda Patrick on metabolism, and she repeatedly pronounced the word "mitochondria." I was very surprised, and I must admit, a little amused, to see that the subtitles for that word were "my dick Andrea"!

Advisory On Moose Liver and Kidney Consumption The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that the liver and kidneys of moose not be eaten because of possible contamination with the heavy metal cadmium. Several states, Canadian provinces and Scandinavian countries have issued similar warnings. While cadmium may accumulate in the liver and kidneys, there is no known health risk from eating the meat of moose or deer. Air pollution from copper and nickel industries and from the burning of fossil fuels accounts for much of the cadmium deposited in eastern North America. Cadmium is ingested by moose with their food. Maine health officials recommend that deer liver consumption be limited to 0.8 pounds in one sitting and 1 to 1 1/3 pounds per week. Human symptoms of acute cadmium poisoning include severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps and salivation.

you are absolutely right, I just eat meat as long as iy has lots of fat.

Fascinating.

You are so right. Humans evolved in many different environments and adjusted to the foods available. My paleolithic ancestors lived in Europe at a time when the climate was cold and vegetable matter was scarce. If we had not adapted we would not have survived. Now, if we're going to assume humans were ever full vegans we'd have gorilla-like stomachs to hold the amount of intestine needed to digest large amounts of plant matter.

I have hunted in the MacKenzie Mountains and in the Northern Rockies. If we were dumped in there at any time of the year with no food, any human on earth would want meat rather than eating the weeds or fir and spruce needles. There would no other choices.

We are the only animals that are perfectly evolved for throwing spears, sticks and rocks. We have more sweat glands than any other mammal which helps make us perfect distance runners, a trait that only makes sense if we were persistence hunters. The ability to run extremely long distances at moderate speeds is not useful for a herbivore. Humans need to consume fat and protein in order to survive, we don't need to consume carbohydrates. Our bodies can synthesize the carbohydrates we need. Our brains need omega 3 in order to fully develop, which is found in high levels in many animals. It's not very easy to find omega 3 in fruits, vegetables and grains. I could go on and on showing evidence that we evolved to eat meat because we evolved to eat.

Also, one thing I want to add and it seems it's something a lot of people don't know is that herbivores like cows (and also primates like gorillas) feed from bacteria protein and fatty acids. They don't get nutrients directly from plants. They eat plants/fiber to feed the bacteria in their gut, and then the bacteria multiples and the fermentation produces fatty acids and that's what they truly eat, a high fat and high protein diet from the bacteria, which is an amazing system very different from ours. And that's why they have big bellies, for fermentation. Humans don't work that way anymore, we have to get it from other animals.

@@cypriano8763 humanities.exeter.ac.uk/archaeology/research/projects/title_84572_en.html Dr Outram has an ongoing research interest in past human use of bone fats, i.e. bone marrow and bone grease. It is only relatively recently that fat, whether on people or in food, has become deeply unfashionable within Western society. This current perception tends to distract one from the extremely important role that the procurement of fat played in many past societies. The calorific value of fat is much higher than that of protein or carbohydrate, by a ratio of 9:4. As such, sources of are very unlikely to be ignored by people under any degree of subsistence stress. Fat can also be used as a fuel for lighting, for waterproofing animal skins and a host of other craft purposes. Bones are an excellent source of fat. Their marrow cavities are packed with fat and the rest of the bone can be broken up and boiled to extract grease. The processing of bones to extract fat will leave a very specific pattern of fracture and fragmentation within archaeological bone assemblages. In order to study these patterns, Alan has carried out many replicative experiments in fracturing bones. He has applied his work to the study of Mesolithic assemblages from Britain and Alpine Italy, Palaeoeskimo and medieval Norse assemblages in Greenland and a Neolithic hunting site in Sweden. His work has shown interesting trends in levels of bone fat exploitation, which are almost certainly related to levels of subsistence stress at particular times of the year. This work was continued with a study of Icelandic medieval Norse sites, funded by the British Academy. The Greenlandic Norse were under exceptional subsistence stress and had to process their bones for every last drop of fat. In the end they had to abandon Greenland, having been forced to eat their dogs, but they never fished despite a plentiful supply! The Icelandic Norse did fish. Is this extra food resource reflected in the level of bone fat processing required? Alan is currently studying the bone fat processing practices at a Plains Indian village at Mitchell, South Dakota. This is a site where, c. AD 1000, maize horticulturalists and bison hunters may well have been producing very large quantities of 'pemmican', a mixture of dried meat, berries and bone fat. At this site, he recently carried out an experiment into bone grease rendering and pemmican making.

In particular, the researchers looked for compounds created when bacteria aid digestion of meat and vegetables. news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/06/140625-neanderthal-poop-diet-ancient-science-archaeology/ The results identified four fats associated with meat. But two cholesterol-related compounds that are an unambiguous fingerprint of plants also turned up. "They were eating a lot of meat," Sistiaga says. "But we believe they were omnivorous."www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/evidence-for-meat-eating-by-early-humans-103874273 The first major evolutionary change in the human diet was the incorporation of meat and marrow from large animals, which occurred by at least 2.6 million years ago. www.americanscientist.org/article/meat-eating-among-the-earliest-humans Meat from the occasional animal forms only about 3 percent of the average chimpanzee’s diet. In 2009, Claudio Tennie, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, and his colleagues developed a hypothesis that offered a nutritional perspective on the group hunting they had observed in the chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, in Tanzania. According to this hypothesis, the micronutrients gained from meat are so important that even small scraps of meat are worth the very high energy expenditure that cooperative hunting entails. Important components of meat include not only vitamins A and K, calcium, sodium, and potassium, but also iron, zinc, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12; the latter, although necessary for a balanced primate diet, is present only in small quantities in plants. In addition, macronutrients such as fat and protein, hard to come by in the environments where chimpanzees live, may be important dietary components of meat-eating. This chapter examines the oldest known archaeological evidence from 2.6-1.5 million years ago (Ma) from several sites in East Africa, to improve understanding of the diet and related behavioural capabilities of early human ancestors (hominins) from that period. The archaeological evidence from the period consists of both small scatters and large, dense concentrations of flaked stone tools often found with fossil bones of large animals. The proportions of different skeletal elements, particularly once-meaty limb bones, and the abundance of stone-tool butchery damage on those bones, indicate that by 1.84 Ma at the FLK Zinj site at Olduvai Gorge, hominins had first access to prey carcasses. Moreover, mortality (age at death) profiles suggest active hunting by early Homo rather than secondary access to scavenged carcasses. Evidently, early Homo was repeatedly transporting meaty portions of large carcasses for delayed consumption and probable food sharing-behaviours characteristic of humans, not apes.www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199694013.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199694013-e-5 chicken has about half that amount -- roughly 1.4 milligrams of coenzyme Q-10.

@@cypriano8763 No I'm sorry you can't think your way out of a biological need. Some people can last longer on a vegan diet than others. I've read a lot of ex vegan accounts and there were some who lasted even 20 years but eventually had health problems. Some people have better genetics for converting things like beta carotene into vitamin A. Body builders and athletes are usually on gear and supplements. I don't believe it. Lots of ex vegans have come out saying while they were vegan they had vegan KZfaq's who told them they took fish oil on the side or got very sick and started eating animal products but still promoting a vegan diet. I don't trust vegans, the ones I know are either unhealthy physically or mentally. I've seen fruitarians emaciated.

The value of meat came from it's rarity and it's difficulty to process, where as plant agriculture you can keep all of your food in one place and not have it run away from you.

Shes wrong on the gut part thats been debunked time and time again. Meat in eastern european cuktures was a staple, not a luxury.

With all the information she's puts out somehow it still seems biased and doesn't convince me. No matter how you slice it or dice it the Mediterranean Diet seems to be the most optimal for humans and stats prove it.

In regards to the thought that human GI tracts are closer to carnivorous - On average, carnivores have a GI tract length of 3-7 feet. Herbivores have a length of 10-12 times the size of their trunk. This easily put them above 10-15 feet in length and most times, more. Looking at humans, our GI tract is 30 feet long on average. Simple Google search to find this info. This instigates that we are natural herbivores, not carnivores. Not to fight on this, it's just the facts and I'd be sad if you went your life telling others that our GI tracts are that of a carnivore, when they factually are not.

@@kaminski1ayla surely this has more to do with the ratio of gut length:body mass than absolute length

Nuts and seeds have fat. Our stomach acid isn't very good, it doesn't digest bones like a cat.

Haha I stopped right there! If 1400-1000 years is pre- history then you gotta wonder when history began! In a historical view the vikings are modern! I’m fifty five, 20 old farts like me after each other and you are in the era of the vikings!

I don't know. But while we're discussing them, I wish I could consume all that milk they supposedly thrived on. These days it causes cardiovascular disease. Bummer for me.

right, I'm sure the Masai were drinking milk long before them, and ancient Israelites were already dreaming about milk and honey

They stored them underground.

Also potatoes and other root vegetables.

Diabetes is caused by intramyocellular fat. (fat In muscle tissue) If you want to prevent diabetes, eat low fat. If you want to reverse diabetes, eat low fat. In other words, plants prevent diabetes, while fattening foods such as meat cause it.

@@anarchy7741 Wrong. Diabetes is insulin resistance which is caused by eating high amounts of sugar and no fiber to cushion it for the liver, which ends up causing inflammation to the liver and pancreas, which controls insulin. Eating a high fat diet and eliminating sugar reverses diabetes. Diabetes is a "mismatch disease." Humans don't need any carbs to survive, actually, since we can convert protein to glucose via a process called neoglucogenesis. A low fat diet can actually cause a lot of harm and deficiencies in the body.

@@RachelKreynin Ha. You don't even understand the mechanism....

@@anarchy7741 no sis you dont

@@karga9014 When you eat carbs, the carbs turn into sugar (glucose) In response to this, the pancreas secretes insulin. The insulin joins together with the glucose and enters the muscle cell. If the muscle cell has to much fat, the sugar cannot get absorbed. This makes the pancreas secrete excess insulin. So if you remove the fat from the muscle cells, the problem goes away.
