How much vegetable oil did they consume?
- BoneVays 7y agoJudging from other "natives" I met, probably as much as they can(with Walmart being 1000 miles away, that would be little). I don't know if you were thinking in terms of "incriminating" veg oil in favor of butter etc, which is the trend in Atkins etc, but the takeaway message of such studies is exercise and the stress-free life, you become what you do and what you think! Eating is a part of thinking and doing, but only up to a point.
- sharph 7y agoI was indeed thinking in terms of "incriminating" veg oil, but more in favor of omega 3 fatty acids (as is also the trend in Atkins etc,) not necessarily saturated fats in butter. (edit: Also silently implying here that n-3 to n-6 ratio matters. Omega-6 fats are essential, but in nature n-3:n-6 is found in more desirable ratios.) I get what you're saying re: exercise and stress, but I have to believe that for some percent of the population, diet rules over the ability to have enthusiasm for exercise and the ability to deal with stress. Everybody's got stress. Some people feel it more than others.
- BoneVays 7y agoJust to clarify, I am talking about natural exercise and natural non-stress :) In their small communities you get stress and excrete it, while in the average larger community you accumulate it. It is the background "stress radiation", low intensity nagging stress, that does all kinds of nasty things to us - more accurately, we do it to ourselves and each other. Similarly, I would not equate time in the gym or jogging in Manhattan to their exercise. I don't know if by some fluke they have the perfect 3-6 ratio in their diets, but if you get your fresh food and exercise (and those beneficial worms ;) ), it does not matter.
