Diets, hyenas and Doom
William Davis, cardiologist, agrees, documenting the reasons for giving up wheat in his book ” Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health” (click for details ). In a recent blog, Dr. Davis noted that our Paleolithic ancestors never ate grains. Instead, it was not until the agricultural age that grains became part of our diets, in part due to the USDA grain-heavy food pyramid. If it often seems that there are SO many problems with wheat and grains, well, thats because they never belonged in the human diet in the first place.

“But we think that lifespan extension from dietary restriction is more likely to be a laboratory artefact,” says Dr Adler. Lifespan extension is unlikely to occur in the wild, because dietary restriction compromises the immune system’s ability to fight off disease and reduces the muscle strength necessary to flee a predator. “Unlike in the benign conditions of the lab, most animals in the wild are killed young by parasites or predators,” says Dr Adler. “Since dietary restriction appears to extend lifespan in the lab by reducing old-age diseases, it is unlikely to have the same effect on wild garcinia cambogia extract animals, which generally don’t live long enough to be affected by cancer and other late-life pathologies.” Dietary restriction, however, also leads to increased rates of cellular recycling and repair mechanisms in the body. The UNSW researchers’ new theory is that this effect evolved to help animals continue to reproduce when food is scarce; they require less food to survive because stored nutrients in the cells can be recycled and reused.

Eat more, die young: Why eating a diet very low in nutrients can extend lifespan
Their penetrating eyes make it impossible to tell whether they want to take a bite out of me, the fillet, or both. Not an ideal situation to be in. Luckily, Ive learnt from the pros and so even though its always a little hair-raising, I dont feel completely ignorant. For the most part, I know how to react and dont have to spend agonising http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/13/idUSnHUGdsQR+73+ONE20140113 minutes figuring out what to do. I think trying to choose which diet or detox to follow is a little like being cornered by a scary animal: trying to make sense of something you dont quite know enough about and trying to keep an eye on all the different options.
