A vast portion of the globe does not suffer from this "problem" - though I bet they wouldn't mind bearing our burden for awhile. Are you of the opinion that there were no chubby cavefolks?
Quote:I agree, but the point is that heart disease is a lot more common than before (especially in America) and it can be directly linked to the type of foods we eat.Signs of heart disease were found in a significant portion of mummies from egypt, peru, and north america. Similar signs have been found in fossilized remains a great deal older (and widely spread around the globe). Bear in mind that soft tissue doesn't "keep well" but judging from those samples we have that can tell us something about the prevalence of heart disease.........a picture altogether different from what we assumed for some time emerges. Keep in mind that our current statistics (34% of the mummies, for example, showed the signs of heart disease -granted we don't know that this is what killed them - nor is the sample size as exhaustive, whereas only 25% of our deaths here in the US are due to the same) account for longer lifespans and the complications that arise from it which are also directly tied to heart disease. Surprisingly, we found evidence of heart disease (in significant percentages of population) in societies that were dyed in the wool hunter gatherers all the way up into the 1900's (aluetians being a prime example). Now, we could raise objections to any of this, if we wished, and offer an alternative as to how we ended up with the data we did.
