Is that why most of the world record performances in athletics were
accomplished on high fat, low-carb diets?


And world level athletics has what to do with the majority of
people other than to serve as a canard that you're off your rocker?
Fit individuals can easily do fine on low carb diets. If they follow
the directions and ease into their programs.

Ancestors spent so much time as beach combers that we
have a metabolic need for salt


I see where this might be headed: justification of your next binge on
greasy, salty, junk food.


Wow. Make sure you post often. It's very entertaining. But
please do make sure to go on a sodium-free diet and see how
the cravings get stronger and stronger until you eventually die
from lack of sodium.

so foods available on tropical beaches
work well for us - seafood and coconuts.


But fresh seafood isn't very high in salt.


If your level of technology is a sharp stick, fresh seafood is
salty for the simple reason it is coated with sea water.

Perhaps you are confused by the labels on processed seafood, or are
laboring under the misconception that things that live in salty water
contain salt. Many marine species are hypotonic with respect to the
salty water they live in. In spite of living in it, they keep it out
of their bodies.


Oh yeah, processed foods with labels as having an effect
on human evolution a million years ago. Right. Thanx for
the entertainment.
