statins heart disease and coconuts oil and traditions

[Guest guest]

I personally believe that we are still mostly frugivor and vegetarians. Like

gorilla we can eat few animal protein here and there but we are not really

designed for our modern diet. convictions.

 

See the greatest naturalist opinion:

 

Alexander von Humbold

German naturalist

“Eating animals as food is not far away from athropophagy and cannibalism. The

same amount of land used to graze and feed cattle could feed ten people, if

however we cultivated it with lentils, kidney beans or peas it could feed a

hundred people….The Orinoco basin can produce sufficient bananas to feed the

whole of mankind comfortably.â€

 

Richard Owen

 

Richard Owen (1804-1892) was an English naturalist who studied with Cuvier,

cataloged the Hunter Collection of the British Museum

 

a. “The anthropoids and all quadumanous derive their nourishment from fruits,

grains and other succulent vegetable substances and the strict analogy between

the structure of those animals and man clearly demonstrates their natural

frugivorousness.â€

 

b. “The apes, whose dentition is almost equal to that of man, lives

principally on fruit, seeds, nuts and other similar kinds of savoury textures of

nutritious value which are elaborated by the vegetable kingdom. The profound

similarity between the dentition of quadrupeds and that of humans demonstrates

that man was from his origins adapted to eat fruit from the trees in

Paradise.â€

 

Charles Darwin

 

“The grading of forms, organic functions, customs and diets showed in an

evident way that the normal food of man is vegetable like the anthropoids and

apes and that our canine teeth are less developed than theirs and that we are

not destined to compete with wild beasts or carnivorous animals.â€

 

Thomas Henry Huxley

a. “Man came before the axe and fire so he couldn’t be carnivorous.â€

 

b. “The length of mans digestive tube is 5-8 meters and the distance between

the mouth and the coccyx is 50 to 80 centimeters, which gives us a result of 10

as in other frugivorous animals and not 3 as in the carnivorous or 20 as in the

herbivorous animals.â€

 

c. “The only animal with probable omnivorous morphology that exists, is the

bear, which has some pointed teeth and others that are flat.â€

 

Sir Arthur Keith

 

Sir Arthur Keith (1866-1955) was a famous English anatomist and anthropologist:

“Chimpanzees and gorillas have the same digestive mechanisms as man does. That

is the proof of compared anatomy in favour of a diet of crude vegetables which

permits the fermentation to produce several disposals daily, soft and free from

putrefaction.â€

 

I want to ask the following question: Is man by nature a vegetarian? Nowadays

most doctors tell us, that he is not, but the most famous naturalists have all

deduced, that he is.

Fossil evidence shows two and half million years of hominids eating meat, so I'm

certainly not going to be convinced by naturalists who ignore reality and

suggest the ideal human diet is vegetarian. However, humans are omnivores and

can thrive on a broad spectrum of diets. Over thousands of years, populations

probably do become well adapted to particular diets, even ones with little or no

meat.

 

Personally, I was strictly lacto-vegetarian for two years and predominantly

vegetarian for about twenty years after that, and it was definitely not an ideal

diet for me. And, my observations from living in the center of the

Transcendental Meditation movement in the US (Fairfield, Iowa) is that

vegetarian diets are not ideal for a lot of other people as well.
