I have seen it argued that human adaptation for the increased production of the digestive enzyme ‘amylase’ (the enzyme responsible for starch digestion) seen since the advent of agriculture is evidence that humans have become adapted for Preferential reliance upon starches and therefore can be said to no longer be Hypercarnivores by physiology and digestive function.
This all makes sense. My question is how do we explain the assertion that our centenarians eat mostly a vegetarian diet. I don't know if that is true, but that is the claim being made to justify a predominantly vegan diet.
I am extremely sceptical of the "Blue Zones" in general because I have seen Sardinia & Hong Kong exposed as being propaganda (the people there most bloody definitely eat meat...) so I would say there are factors beyond just diet in those areas which are the primary contributory factors to the longevity of the local populations
Is this your PART 1 of “The Five Pillars of Metabolic Health” series?
