What make one feel hungry?
What make one feel hungry? Is it low glucose alone? Are somethings
else also involved? |

Yes I have heard this too and often just chuck some water and find the
hunger craving goes away. MH -- 285/231/210 6' 1 " Aug/03/03 Literally Walked My Big Fat Ass Off! LOL ----------------------------------------------------- "Andi" wrote in I think that sometimes when you think you are hungry you are really just thirsty. Andi |

How did nature make human body so vulnerable to carbohydrate?
This world has so much food energy sources in the form of
carbohydrate. Why did evolution make our body so vulnerable to carbohydrate? The theory underlying those low-carb diets doesn't seem to make much sense.

The theory underlying those low-carb diets doesn't seem to make much sense. A better question would be "Why did man create so many carbohydrates?" Our bodies have not changed much since the neanderthal man in regards to dietary needs. Our bodies were not made for refined carbs. Exerpt from http://www.zoneperfect.com/site/cont...2_ZoneDiet.asp This is from the Zone Diet web site. The basic reason of our problem with carbs is the same just because this eating plan allows more carbs in the diet. "What about grains? Well, 8,000 years ago, there were no grains, bread or pasta. Agriculture is a very recent (by evolutionary standards) invention. Evolution works very slowly. As far as our genes are concerned, we're still a bunch of hunter/gatherers foraging for food. The problem, of course, is that our genes may be programmed that way, but that's not the way we actually live. We regularly eat large quantities of dense, highly processed carbohydrates such as grains and grain based products such as pasta. Because we haven't evolved to a stage where we can eat excessive amounts of these high density carbohydrates without adverse biochemical consequences, our bodies aren't able to operate properly. We gain excess weight, suffer from diabetes, heart disease and a host of other ills, feel sluggish, and generally perform at a sub-par level.

The theory underlying those low-carb diets doesn't seem to make much sense. Off the top of my head, I'd say think about the long time that humans existed before they started to engage in agriculture. I'd think that most of the calories must have come from game. Sure, there would have been gathering too, but that might not have accounted for that much of the diet. I should look back in some of my arch/anth books. -- Jean B. |

And another interesting point. Virtually all the fruits and
vegetables we eat today have been carefully cross-bred by man to make them more appealing. Chief among these goals was to make them sweeter. A wild apple that cave man came across had far less sugar than today's apples. A wild root vegetable had nowhere near the starch as an Idaho potatoe. And many fruits were only available for short periods. Today we have all these sugar enriched fruits available all the time. Plus, how many calories did cave men burn in their daily activity compared to what we do today? |

Speaking of coss-breeding fruits to make them sweeter, just think of those Delicious apples and their relatives. (I say ugh.) -- Jean B. |
