  1. The meta analysis of double blind clinical studies does not show any health benefits from intermittent fasting, no matter what the pop health gurus believe. Real water fasting for five days or so is another matter.

  2. The trillions of beneficial microbs need plants. The hundreds of harmful ones love your steak diet. And it contributes all those lovely endogenous advance glication end products to your rapidly aging metabolism.

  3.  @grahamhiggins1816  Don't know what kind of oats you are eating but I can assure you, you will have the opposite of a crash if you eat high quality organic oat groats, soaked for a day or two. You will have long long lasting energy and hunger satisfaction. These is exactly what your microbiome wants to eat. Of course if you use sugar or syrup or crap nonorganic quick oats all bets are off.

  4. I would be quite careful in the use of the word hybrid when referring to the offspring of different ethnic or "racial" groups. While the offspring of two dissimilar human strains like Norweigan and Cambodian who were formerly line breed due to locality and lack of any significant migration will certainly exhibit "hybrid vigor" due to less chance of detrimental recessive combinations, people do not generally refer to to the offspring of two different breeds of dogs as hybrids, while the offspring of two different subspecies or species like was used to produce the Bengal cat is considered a hybrid. Their are no different human species, or even subspecies, all humans are simply different varieties of the same species, like all truly domestic dogs are. While it could be loosely considered correct in a non scientific use of the word, those children are really no more a hybrid than the offspring of a union of a linebred Amish person with a Spanish person from an insular background. Or like the many results of the first unions of the various ethnic groups that migrated to America, like a Swede and an Italian.
