Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I have a ? regarding osteoporosis and meat consumption~ ....I know at this point that isolated proteins in any form are harmful for someone with osteo I know we need the fat soluble cofactors from meat etc.. In studying Weston Price... the healthiest tribes seemed to be the one's with the most meat consumption ~they had no tooth decay and very strong/straight teeth and bones and no osteo I have also heard other things about meat/protein consumption causing acidic state and body having to buffer pulling cal out of bones?? Some say is harmful for kidneys hmmm... I think of Atkin's diet which is all protein~ he is a medical doctor ~a cardiologist .... Why would he promote something if everyone would be getting kidney failure I guess my main question in posting this is.... Why did these people in sub-Saharan Africa or other cultural tribes not have osteo from so much meat consumption (acidic state etc) What were the factors ?? Were they eating meats with proper ratio of Omega6 to Omega-3?? Was it they were eating all meat raw? What were the factors? If someone this day and age were to replicate that... would it have same effect or different?? would meat have to be raw to have same effect? What are the factors? jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hello Jenny, Have you read The metabolic Diet by William Wolcott It is an interesting book which says that your diet may depend on your genetic inheritance, the area where you live etc and so a diet full of fat may be excellent for an eskimo but not so good for us or a low fat high carbohydrate diet is good for the Bantu people but again our bodies may need a different way of eating and so you cannot say this or that diet diet is healthy for everyone because individual needs have to be tailored to each person which maybe why there are so many conflicting diet reports. I have been trying to find the optimum diet for myself for years and I certainly feel better now (47) than I have ever done, even when i was young but I still have a way to go yet.
