Except we continue to see population-wide trends in health that are surely linked to changes in average diet over the last 100 years or so.
But it's certainly possible it's far less to do with ratios of simple/complex carbs, protein & fat than widely seems to be believed and indeed linked more to either micronutrients (or lack thereof), or worse, industrial chemicals that have made their way into the food chain. Either way, even accepting variation between individuals, it's surely worth understanding better what general principles can guide how to advise on what diet and food industry changes are necessary to address public health concerns.
- hutzlibu 3y agoYou surely can say some things about "average". But someone working physical still has greatly different food needs, than someone only working in an office and being a couch potato afterwards. Or for example I usually avoid sausage and fat meat as it is heavy on the stomach and weight. But the last days I have been in the mountains, walking over ice and snow. Fat meat was excellent, because with the cold, I burned lots of energy.
