Do we really understand what causes pancreatic cancer?

Great post Daniel. How are the studies going?

There are many schemes thriving on ignorance about nutrition and other concerns. I don't need to name them, but around here, there is this pyramid scheme called "herbalife" that thrives in selling overpriced vitamin pills. it is a quasi religious enterprise, with all the 'before' and 'after' pics, the whole nine yards. People still fall for it.

Did someone say Adipose?



OK. Sorry. Carry on.

I agree that the fruitarian diet is quite stupid. The nutrient deficiency that it results in is not apparent for vegans in general, however. I don't think you can make that generalization.

We are omnivores, we evolved from hunter/gatherers, just deal with it. Is it too f*kin hard to just exercise and burn off the extra calories instead of going on weird diet plans?

Well, however much you exercise, if you have a bad diet you're not getting far. I for one required both and managed to lose 12 kilos. It is also to be noted that if you eat plants rather than animals you do not actually get extra calories that easily, in fact because the fiber fills you up you eat less calories and lose weight that way.

"We are omnivores" and "we evolved from hunter/gatherers" are not very useful claims in my opinion. That we can eat meat does not mean we need it or that it's actually healthy. When we ate meat it was probably corpses left by more proficient predators that actually had claws or sharp teeth or high speed to kill things. Fossils of human teeth show we ate mostly plants anyway.
