> Until the 1900's starch fed the world, it still does, some how what is succesfully feeding the 5.5-6bln poor people of the world is no longer good for you. What are you even talking about? We have a public health epidemic of obesity, especially among the "poor people of the world." They are literally the most affected group by low-cost availability of processed foods. This is undisputed and self-evident. Of course it is worth it to revisit our recommendations and practices given what it looks like when we look out the damned window. You think someone just decided well, starch has had a good run, time to move on based on no scientific basis? Your commentary in this thread is actively harmful in its complete substitution of science and understanding for your own personal gut feeling. You sure are saying a lot and ignoring the requests for citations.

>Your commentary in this thread is actively harmful in its complete substitution of science and understanding for your own personal gut feeling. You sure are saying a lot and ignoring the requests for citations. The only thing that harmfull in this thread is the viral groupthink, you are more than capable of doing your own research. The Journal of Human Evolution is a good place to start, PMC also has some good sources on dietary and nutritional habits throughout human evolution. Reading the works of evolutionary and molecular biologists like Hillard Kaplan, Marlene Zuk and Jennie Miller would also do you good. But sure keep spreading your "scientific" fact, just ignore the studies and research and cherry pick your evidence like that initial NHS study that was disavowed by the NHS itself because it was utterly flawed as the data about the greatness of the low carb and paleo diets eventually came out of 6 people since everyone else dropped the study which also lacked a control group. Or the 2nd UK study that again had issues with high dropout rates and still somehow managed to get published even tho the dropout rate effectively attached a huge selection bias to the study. But hey you and your gang are more than welcomed to downvote actual evidence even statements like the fact that our ancestors processed plants ;) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2973873/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2973873/ Overall if you actually care about GI and carbs the research authored and coauthored by Jennie Miller is a great source of information, unlike people like Loren Cordain she's actually accredited to making the claims she makes, and it's ironic that one of the biggest proponents of the low GI diet is for the most part against low carb diets in general. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Brand-Miller%20J%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=26591850 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Brand-Miller%20J%5...
