Yes, it all starts to make sense

The evolution of the gallbladder is to help digest large amounts of fat when the occasional hoofed animal is brought down. This makes perfect evolutionary sense - those who are fittest to absorb the large amount of calories that don't come around often survive.

Of course, everything has changed in the modern age. Our smart, but dumb, advances have led us to get further away from the balance of nature and to create a poisonous modern diet. The fact is, we did not evolve to eat so much carbohydrates and trans-fatty acids. The modern processed food is full of horrible chemicals, synthetic and indegestible fats (like olestra) and preservatives that gum of the system and cause cancer ( nitrates in lunch meat for example).

If you think about it, 10,000 years ago, just before wheat was domesticated and processed, what did people eat? Fruit, nuts, berries, green plants, roots, whole grains and seeds and the occasional meat, like small animals and birds. Example, the 5000 year old iceman (Otzi) had a wild grains in his stomach, something called Einkorn. It was probably more rare to take down a hoofed animal. The bottom line is we should be eating that diet, from 10,000 years ago, we are adapted to eat that food. No doubt that the level of physical activity is important too.

These are some of the reasons, that I have been trying to rediscovery herbs and plants that are beneficial to the human physiology.

Just some thoughts for my fellow flushers. Tweet
