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.
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.
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.
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.
