2. Disruption of cells lining the intestine leads to
intestinal hyperpermeability which has been
proposed by some researchers to involve a
relationship with acute and chronic diseases
such as systemic inflammatory response
syndrome (SIRS), inflammatory bowel
disease, diabetes, allergies, asthma, autism.
4. Observations/ the evolution approach
• Cavemen (pre-agriculturalists) and modern hunter
gatherers did not suffer from the diseases of modern
civilization.
• The diets of hunter gather’s we free of grains, legumes and
dairy.
• Are genes are virtually identical to cavemen ( yeah but they
are also virtually identical to chimps)
• Grains , legumes and dairy are neolithic (new) foods.
Invalid inference: We should eat devoid of grains, legumes and
dairy.
Just an observation. But a good one.
6. For example: we can find new food
sources of food and adapt to it
7. Research/the anti-nutrient approach
• Have we adapted to the consumption of
grains
• Are these evolutionary novel foods a problem
with our biochemistry?
• Well Plants have anti-nutrients as a defense
mechanism. But it all depends on the digestive
process.
15. They are everywhere!
Food is out to kill us!
No not really.
• Heat deactivates most of these antinutrients.
• Also have to consider what happens when you
consume these things as part of real foods.
