“Man ate and drank in the healthiest manner possible during the Upper Paleolithic period [beginning about 40,000 years ago], when humans were nomadic huntergatherers. About 50%-80% of food came from plants and 20%-50% from animals. People living at this time consumed no grains, and no dairy products other than breast milk.” said Dr. Barry Popkins, a distinguished professor of Clinical Nutrition at University of North Carolina.
He goes on to explain that our fat nation has gained all the weight from the clash between our drinking habits and our biology. He believes that we in America drink most of our calories, but we don’t cut our food intake. “an average American gets over 450 calories/day from beverages.” We’re drinking our way to obesity. Fruit juice as we perceive to be healthy, still has a lot of calories specially if not taken in moderate amounts.
I am assuming during Paleolithic period, there weren’t any factories that over-processed food and scientists hadn’t come up with growth hormones or genetically modified food either.
