- the_d00d 9y agoDo you have a link to the source of this claim?
- nikolay 9y agoYes, I have it - it's deep-linked in the neurons of my brain. This has been discussed here before, so, use your search skills if you possess any!
- euyyn 9y agoGuess which body heals faster from a wound and epidemics, and is more likely to survive childhood: one with modern nutrition, or one with our predecessors'?
- nikolay 9y ago"Modern" nutrition is poor nutrition. Just because everybody's sipping on (anti-nutrient-rich) kale smoothies today, it doesn't mean that we have better nutrition. In fact, every meat has been grass-fed in the past, every fruit and vegetable - local and organic, and there're studies that plants today (even those that are local and organic) are much less nutritious than in the past.
