Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 This will interest anyone with an awareness of paleo diets in general and specifically, the indigestible fiber content of those diets as they apply to health. I was referred for a second time last night to the website of researcher Jeff Leach, the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed works, by an associate who also knows Bryan Tungland, the author of the Comprehensive Scientific Review we have been using for prebiotics information. http://paleobioticslab.com/ Note Mr. Leach's edifying article on historic agave cultivation in the northern Tucson Basin in Arizona. Agave, which is related to Aloe, has a particularly long-chain profile of complex prebiotic fiber, which may focus new interest on this traditional food. Mr. Leach has also been researching prebiotic fiber intake in the traditional diets of people in other parts of the world. In his various and upcoming works Mr. Leach explains the historic role that a varied diet, rich in diverse indigestible fibers has played in bowel health through the ages, and comments that the modern diet is lacking this richness that we evolved with, even in the upper fifth of the population. This will pique the curiosity of those who appreciate that our approach approximates the natural, paleolithic diversity described from a researcher's pespective. The man who referred me, and Mr. Leach, have decades of knowledge on traditional and evolutionary diets between them and I will be quite pleased to learn more from them both in the future.
