Default Animal fats & animal proteins.

I'm in a state of information overload. I've heard from others posters
in here and from other sites on the web that animal fat and animal
protein studies may be flawed due to the presence of high carbs. In my
search for a definition of what might be considered “high carbs” to make
these ingredients harmful I ran across this article which I remember
reading before.

Most of the readers that have been following my reckless search to
promote and improve my hybrid diet know that I’ve been overloaded with
misinformation by getting “facts” about food dangers from biased sites
(anti-low carb from low fat sites or anti-low fat from low carb sites
for example). This article supports another diet, vegetarian, so it
stands to reason that it would be full of anti-meat information. Please
understand I’m not trying to convert myself or anyone else to this
Hallelujah (vegetarian) diet, just using it as a source to gather more
information about nutrients. Backing up to the main page will show
these studies support a religious diet high in their BarleyMax® powder
and carrot juice (I’m generalizing again). That in itself turned me off
and will probably keep readers in this newsgroup away as well.

Again, by posting this article it may look like I’m trying to promote
this diet or product. I am not. I’m just wondering if any information
in the studies could be accurate so I may modify the quality of my own
diet ingredients. Read it and respond if anyone has an opened minded
moment.

Default Animal fats & animal proteins.

It seems studies can be cherry picked to show anything. In the article you
cite, I was troubled that important assertions were attributed to studies
that are not cited. In other instances, where studies are cited, they are
typically from the first half of the 20th century.

The article claims that the US Government says daily protein levels should
be 25 to 35 grams per day. This surprised me, since a few months ago I had
Googled the subject on the web and found a consensus of about 85 grams per
day. Today, I started at NIH to see what they actually say. They refer
searches to Medline. Medline linked to Harvard Medical School, which
recommended 50 to 65 grams of protein per day.

Your article explains that carnivores have short intestinal tracts compared
to herbivores. It fails to mention that humans have the shorter variety of
intestinal tract.

In reviewing skews, you may wish to review: "The Polish Optimal Diet"

A good case can be made that the ideal diet is actually high fat.
