According to some evidence, we didn't "evolve" and nearly all domestic
foods and farm animals are ancient GM.
"We" haven't hit that level of expertise, or, Whaaaay back when, there were
a whole lot of people who didn't make it before weeding out those who
couldn't tolerate the crops.
Evidence of others being what can be forced into genetic linkages as a
linear chain of relatives when much more is not known than is and many
artifacts are plain frauds, may well fit better as a series of failed
prototypes.
Somehow believing that a little weak naked person that dies of exposure
in just a few days can make what pretty much has to be a many decade leap
into survival technology learning to make tools and shelter, is a leap in
faith...... in the HIGHLY unlikely.
Even in our own human myths, similar everywhere, there was a period of
protection and basic technology, domestic animals and crops were gifts.
..and Homo Sapiens is not all that old.

We did not evolve to live with genetically engineered food, but the FDA
has permitted it in just about everything. GM medicines don't concern me
as much, due to the safety trials involved, but still, not in nature.
We also did not evolve to eat pesticides.
It is also against Nature to force vegetarian animals to consume animal foods.
It is my belief that we all have an innate ability to instinctivley know
what works for us. One man's food is anothre man's poison, etc. When we
damage that innate ability through whatever means (drugs, alcohol,
chemical exposure, illness) it is bad news.

My experience in medical research, as a pharmacologist specializing in
neuro-pharmacology is that we often make *ass-umptions that are not borne
out by well conducted basic studies. The studies quoted here, although I
have not looked into them in detail appear to be well conducted.
Basically we evolved over billions of years, if you count our evolution
from the Big Bang about 4 billion. If you count it from the arrival of
Cromagnon about ten thousand. Science and the whole neutriceutical scene
is less than fifty years old.
Food as medicine is a time tested principle. Synthesized supplements are
not. And well, too much of a good thing can do harm, look at the college
kids that killed themselves drinking a couple gallons of water in a short
period of time in a hazing incident. Who would think drinking a lot of
water is bad for you? Current wisdom tells us to drink more water, but
there is a balance to be struck.
Who knows more about the human system than Mother Nature, certainly not
the profit motivated folks who push the supplements. But we humans are by
nature always looking for a better easier way, a quick fix. It's just so
much easier than doing the work of supplying ourselves with good
wholesome meals on a regular basis.
That makes most of us an easy target for a fast talking salesman that
promises to make life healthier, easier and cheaper than the "old
fashioned" way called eating a good diet and taking care of your physical
body. Heck no one wants to slow down, take the time to rest and eat good
food -- we all feel pushed to keep up with the fast pace of life these
days. Also this generation grew up on pills and fast food, so we have a
definite bias away from natural sources.

that antioxidants in food work because they generate Health-promoting
quantities of free radicals, that would be an ironic Turnaround. It may
also explain why supplements and extracts don't seem To work or may even
be dangerous: the doses are too high, and produce Too many free
radicals. For now, the advice is simple. "Stick to flavonoid-rich
foods, red wine In moderation, tea, fruits and vegetables," says
Halliwell. "Don't start Taking high-dose supplements or heavily
fortified foods, until we know More."
