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. http://www.alphaomegafood.com/protein_truth.htm |

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.
