[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2450307, member: 506169"] The original articles appear factual. For example I remember seeing a demonstration on TV of aldehydes produced by frying what in the UK are called chips (french fries to Americans) using Coconut Oil and other major Seed Oils. It's a shame the author didn't include grass fed ruminants and their fats in his comparison tables for CO2 emission , nutrient density and land use comparisons. While indigenous populations appear to thrive on traditional diets at both extremes of the Carb/Fat spectrum, this may well be due to genetic factors - those who didn't died out. There is evidence (from scans on mummy's) that grain based diets contributed to widespread Cardio Vascular disease going back to ancient Egyptian times. It's also interesting that it's now thought that the 'civilisation' of the builders of Stonehenge in the UK had reverted from a primarily grain based diet to a mix of gathering (nuts/berries/tubers) plus farmed animals. Something must have made them think it was better, though it was certainly not as easy to maintain a large population. [/QUOTE]
