We are omnivores for a reason. It feels like a lot of that vegan rhetoric is partisan opinions supported by studies that echo their ideals. Our bodies were specifically built to be able to consume, digest, and use animal fats and lean protein as fuel.
It's not an opinion, it's biology.
I think the best rout is simply eliminating processed, artificial, and altered foods.
Paleo and Keto I feel are the closest to what humans were built to handle.
There are different vegan perspectives out there.
It's important you look beyond the Headline Rhetoric, and analyze the Science and the Context.
Evolutionary time-span works on millions of years, Humans only started to live beyond age 50 (En Mass) within the past 5000 years. Living to old age is very NEW, and not part of our most recent biological evolutionary optimizations.
Humans are omnivores..
Part of this is correct: Humans have the ability to utilize animal proteins and fats to some degree, it's however NOT the Preferred Fuel of the body.
The editor of the American Journal of Cardiology, William C. Roberts setup several experiments proving this.
If we fed
TRUE - Carnivores and
TRUE - Omnivores [Cats and Dog] 100 grams of cholesterol and 120 grams of fats ONTOP of their normal diet, They will STILL NEVER EVER develop arteriosclerosis/ Heart disease.
Meanwhile, if you did the same to
Rabbits and Monkeys (our closest cousin) ,
Boom Heart disease.. The contextual difference for what WILD Humans eat, and what we now are ABLE TO EAT given advanced technology.
Wild human beings only live to about 50, That is as far as our Physical evolution took us.
Through Society, and cognitive evolution, we've then crossed that mark with the Use of Fire, Modern Sanitation, Modern Medicine
So, Yes, if you want to say, Wild Humans CAN BE Omnivorous, fine, but the cut off is age 50.
What happens after age 50, is a new way of life, NOT yet optimized for by Biology.
We know the human body Prefers Carbohydrates above all other fuel.
Now you're going to say, OH TP, what bout Diabetus..
The following video thoroughly explains why people get diabetus. watch it and perhaps you will never get diabetus..
