  76.  @BrightWendigo  Starchy carbs, not a Paleo diet, advanced the human race 10 August 2015 Starchy carbohydrates were a major factor in the evolution of the human brain, according to a new study co-authored by researchers from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre and Faculty of Agriculture and Environment. Published in the Quarterly Review of Biology, the hypothesis challenges the long-standing belief that the increase in size of the human brain around 800,000 years ago was the result of increased meat consumption. The research is a blow to advocates of the Paleo diet, which shuns starch-rich vegetables and grains. “Global increases in obesity and diet-related metabolic diseases have led to enormous interest in ancestral or ‘Palaeolithic’ diets,” said Professor Jennie Brand-Miller from the Charles Perkins Centre, who co-authored the research with Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environment and international colleagues. “Up until now, there has been a heavy focus on the role of animal protein in the development of the human brain over the last two million years. The importance of carbohydrate, particularly in the form of starch-rich plant foods, has been largely overlooked. Our research suggests that dietary carbohydrates, along with meat, were essential for the evolution of modern big-brained humans. “The evidence suggests that Palaeolithic humans would not have evolved on today’s ‘Paleo’ diet.” According to the researchers, the high glucose demands required for the development of modern humans’ large brains would not have been met on a low carbohydrate diet. The human brain uses up to 25 per cent of the body’s energy budget and up to 60 per cent of blood glucose. Human pregnancy and lactation, in particular, place additional demands on the body’s glucose budget, along with increased body size and the need for mobility and dietary flexibility. Starches would have been readily available to early human populations in the form of tubers, seeds and some fruits and nuts. But it was only with the advent of cooking that such foods became more easily digested, leading to “transformational” changes in human evolution, said co-author Professor Les Copeland. “Cooking starchy foods was central to the dietary change that triggered and sustained the growth of the human brain,” Professor Copeland said. Researchers also point to evidence in salivary amylase genes, which increase the amount of salivary enzymes produced to digest starch. While modern humans have on average six copies of salivary amylase genes, other primates have only an average of two. The exact point at which salivary amylase genes multiplied is uncertain, but genetic evidence suggests it occurred in the last million years, around the same time that cooking became a common practice. “After cooking became widespread, starch digestion advanced and became the source of preformed dietary glucose that permitted the acceleration in brain size,” Professor Copeland said. “In terms of energy supplied to an increasingly large brain, increased starch consumption may have provided a substantial evolutionary advantage.” Co-author Karen Hardy, a researcher with the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, said: “We believe that while meat was important, brain growth is less likely to have happened without the energy obtained from carbohydrates. While cooking has also been proposed as contributing to early brain development, cooking carbohydrates only makes sense if the body has the enzymic equipment to process these.” According to the researchers, a diet similar to that which gave us our large brains in the Palaeolithic era would be positive for human health. However, unlike the modern Paleo diet, that diet should include underground starchy foods such as potatoes, taro, yams and sweet potatoes, as well as more recently introduced starchy grains like wheat, rye, barley, corn, oats, quinoa and millet. “It is clear that our physiology should be optimised to the diet we experienced in our evolutionary past,” Professor Brand-Miller said.

  119.  @jonathanbauer2988  *The study, published Aug. 13 in Science, suggests that consuming food rich in saturated fat and choline - a nutrient found in red meat, eggs and dairy products - increases the number of metabolites that build plaques in the arteries. It also points to a possible drug that can block the effects of the high-fat diet on the gut and the arteries. “Our study shows how a high-fat diet disrupts the bacterial balance in the gut and leads to the production of harmful substances implicated in cardiovascular diseases,” said Andreas Bäumler, professor of medical microbiology and immunology at UC Davis Health and co-lead author on the study* B12 is actually a by product of certain bacteria that ruminates take it from soil and untreated water, or in case of factory farming they are either injected or take suppliments of B12 in their fodder... *According to a report found in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, the reason could have to do with the growth hormones found in cow's milk. Milk that comes from a cow is intended to help baby calves grow, which means that there are natural steroids and growth hormones in milk. This report states that these hormones could possibly be what leads to acne in humans because when we drink their milk, our bodies release a hormone known as IGF-1, which is known to cause acne breakouts. Another possible cause of milk-related acne is the use of man-made growth hormones found in many adult cows on dairy farms. The growth hormone rBGH (or Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is commonly used by dairy farmers to increase the amount of milk production, and according to the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology report, this hormone may be the acne culprit* - so not exactly neutral...
