The Inuit People lived on mostly fish, meat being second. Seaweed and edible vegetation were survival necessities. Cancer rates among the cultures that are predominately meat eaters is much higher than those cultures that eat mostly or all vegan. America has the second highest cancer insidence rate in the world, Russia being #1, England #3. If you don't have the bacteria nesessary to break down meat in your gut you will not digest it an can die from the complications resulting from the putrifaction caused by this. No bacteria, no digestion. Enzymes and bacteria are a requirement of any and all digestion!
Del Snow >Dear Marsha, >>As I understand it, if you are on an all meat/fish/fat diet, the bacteria >are not necessary. >>In fact studies have shown that most bacteria good and bad will die off for >lack of nutrition on a ketogenic (meat/fat) diet. >>I believe they are necessary to digest carbohydrates. Someone correct me if >I'm wrong. >>Mary Dear Mary, Kinda like what the old Inuit (Eskimos) lived on, huh? (At least until White Man brought in sugar...) And what the Atkins diet espouses, according to the thing I saw on TV last night. The LDS (Mormon) Word of Wisdom is the opposite, saying to eat meat sparingly and only in times of famine. It also recommends grains, and no hot beverages, alcohol, or tobacco usage. Interesting... Marsha -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
