Look at every single diabetic and gluten intolerant person out there and you'll see, it pretty much makes sense. :) Look at the pancreas, it's still much too small and overwhelmed but our "staples". And men still suffer from the anti-nutrients I mentioned (in contrast to rats which are used to it). So obviously the evolution didn't do much good in the short time.
I agree, that the evolutionary approach is no proof. However, it's a nice logical backing to scientific results. Men got shorter and more short-lived when switching from hunter-gatherer to farmer...doesn't sound like good stuff to me.
