And the typical diet has too much of it

2019-09-30 20:24:29 UTC  

^

2019-09-30 20:24:34 UTC  

the correct amount is the amount our body synthesizes >.>

2019-09-30 20:24:42 UTC  

Maybe in your case Moon

2019-09-30 20:24:48 UTC  

But not in typical cases

2019-09-30 20:24:54 UTC

2019-09-30 20:25:10 UTC  

Every body is different, every body reacts and behaves differently

2019-09-30 20:25:15 UTC  

I think its pretty standard

2019-09-30 20:25:19 UTC  

I dont see why that is so hard for you to understand

2019-09-30 20:25:22 UTC  

Without a way to elevate your heartrate and change your metabolism in response to stress your diet had to be different

2019-09-30 20:25:33 UTC  

I'm not saying a small amount of saturated fats will kill you. Heck I get a ton from nuts and seeds

2019-09-30 20:25:39 UTC  

The human body nutritionally is the furthest from standard you can get

2019-09-30 20:26:03 UTC  

You can have general ranges but pretty much every component of metabolic activity is genetically based

2019-09-30 20:26:11 UTC  

at least if you can afford all the expensive testing

2019-09-30 20:26:51 UTC  

Can find out precisely what digestive enzymes you have the most of, inflammatory repsonses, HDL/LDL levels in response to diet, allergies minor and major caloric requirements protein synth yeah it's crazy the amount of variance there is

2019-09-30 20:26:54 UTC  

Your diet also lacks alot of B12, calcium, zinc, and iron

2019-09-30 20:27:06 UTC  

zinc supplements are typically larger than is healthy

2019-09-30 20:27:08 UTC  

no i get a ton of zinc from lentils :p

2019-09-30 20:27:13 UTC  

my iron levels were also perfect.

2019-09-30 20:27:24 UTC  

You eat a lot of nuts

2019-09-30 20:27:24 UTC  

All of which are necessary nutrients you dont get naturally in the correct amounts in typical vegan diets

2019-09-30 20:27:40 UTC  

Esp B12

2019-09-30 20:27:44 UTC  

Thats the big one

2019-09-30 20:28:17 UTC  

Now when you talk about nigerians are you talking abour city folks or tribesman?

2019-09-30 20:28:21 UTC  

With b12 its important to remember it doesn't come from animals per se but from microbes. We used to get a lot of b12 from unwashed plant foods as well, in the dirt. Also drinking water from streams and rivers. But because we don't want cholera now we drink filtered water

2019-09-30 20:28:58 UTC  

Keep in mind, other great apes also need b12 and they get enough in the wild even on plant-based diets

2019-09-30 20:29:37 UTC  

Cuz alot of those "mostly" plant based eating folks in africa look like they are about one sandwhich away from starvation

2019-09-30 20:29:42 UTC  

And they probably are

2019-09-30 20:29:53 UTC  

sure.

2019-09-30 20:29:57 UTC  

i agree

2019-09-30 20:30:07 UTC  

but it doesnt matter with regard to the point

2019-09-30 20:30:41 UTC  

b12 isnt the only thing required to lower homocysteine. There's also folate, which carnivore dieters struggle to intake

2019-09-30 20:30:59 UTC  

Almost no humans are carnivores tho

2019-09-30 20:31:16 UTC  

Unless out of ignorance or medical necessity

2019-09-30 20:31:29 UTC  

I love my meats but even I only eat them in moderation

2019-09-30 20:31:29 UTC  

well they mentioned jordan peterson earlier

2019-09-30 20:31:37 UTC  

only reason I brought it back up

2019-09-30 20:31:42 UTC  

And he was on that diet by medical advice

2019-09-30 20:31:59 UTC  

I thought it was because of his daughter

2019-09-30 20:32:25 UTC  

She was put on it by medical directive

2019-09-30 20:32:45 UTC  

There is also a significsnt difference in the way they are eating meat vs the standard american diet
