Thank you, Heather. I really appreciate your perspective.
Your post brought up a few more questions...
==1. The bacteria in your lower intestine eat mainly semi-indigestible
polysaccharides, which are basically a kind of fiber. They don't get fed
UNLESS you feed them fiber, because everything else you eat gets
absorbed before it gets there.==
**I wonder how this ties in to the paleo idea that lush vegetables, and
most fiber have only been around for 10,000 years? It seems for millions
of years before that, most foods were meat and seafoods... some fruits.
The nuts were mostly poisonous, the vegetables bitter, the fruits
smaller and seasonal... Also makes me question some people on raw paleo
who exist on all meat and fat diets, and say they have been feeling
amazingly healthy doing that for years (some over 10)??
==It is true they [japanese] are smart enough to not eat brown rice.
Basically they are noted for eating lots of "gooey vegetables" ... the
kind that are full of the right polysaccharides.==
So brown rice is not good because the brown part is bad fiber? The white
rice is good fiber?
==Fact is though, your brain runs mainly on sugar, protein is essential
to your body, and your gut likes fiber, esp. certain kinds of fiber.==
Are you saying we should eat sugar, perhaps in the form of fruit and
honey and white rice for our brains? I am personally 2 weeks into
avoiding fruit, honey, and definitely all processed sugars in an effort
to reduce my nightly cravings for it... thoughts?
Again, love your thoughts on this. Refreshing!
