Subject: Re: Interesting Article in the Guardian today
Hi bsk That is really interesting - I had already read some writing on the acquired bacterial protection from mothers during childbirth from Weston A Price (Natasha Mcbride)
This chap makes a few good points on gut bacteria - and it's not by Dr. Oz - this guy hates Dr. Oz! http://coolinginflammation.blogspot.co.uk/ http://coolinginflammation.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/dr-oz-on-gut-flora-repair.html The paleo diet would tend to correlate with this Guardian article except Paleo tends to promote protein and fat as beneficial - question is were we foragers or hunter gatherers - much of our evolution came from meat eating and the size and shape of our digestion proves this - our digestion is much less capable of eating some foods than others An excerpt from this article - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/prehistoric_life/human/human_evolution/food_for_thought1.shtml "Because meat is relatively easy to digest and rich in calories and nutrients, early Homo lost the need for the big intestines of apes and earlier hominids. This freed up energy for use by other organs...." It's good they are beginning to come around to looking at this instead in the mainstream of leaving it to the ostracised practicioners often labelled as 'quacks' Professor (Emeritus) Jonathan Brostoff at Kings College London - also agrees that diet plays a huge role and that a 'stone age elimination diet' should be tried for all - http://www.arthritis-alternatives.com/diet-and-ra-the-research/omg-the-arthritis-foundation-agrees-that-food-is-the-problem/ But it looks as though he has been bashing his head against a brick wall for years ! http://www.hsj.co.uk/news/allergy-funds-wasted/28516.article#.Uvo8M86fJyU
