- Evgeny 12y agoUnfortunately, the link does not go into any detail and there is no reference to the source. I've heard about "apparent adaptations", but never specifics. So not sure they do exist. Researchers who lived with the Inuit (Vilhjalmur Stefansson etc.) did not have any problems following the Inuit diet.
- fasteo 12y agoThere has been some debate about the actual Inuit diet, specifically, about its carbs content. It seems that fresh and/or frozen flesh contains a significant amount of carbs (in the form of stored glycogen). This is a good review[1] of the whole thing.
