[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1787895, member: 41816"] It is fine having a taste for sweet stuff if your access to sweet stuff is limited to seasonal fruit and the odd honey comb shared between the whole family group. Especially if cars, trains, vacuum cleaners and washing machines haven’t yet been invented. Easy to burn off those carbs with the manual labour need to stay alive. And warm. And fed. But that leaves us with a taste for treats, celebratory feasting, comfort food, and an instinct to enjoy-it-while-we-can, when modern life means we can enjoy those things every day. If we want. And once the insulin resistance cycle kicks off, we are likely to want it very regularly indeed. No idea whether that comes from my homo sapiens ancestors, or any neanderthal ones, but i know that my taste for fats and proteins is self limiting, while my tastes for carbs need me to limit them consciously.
