[QUOTE="AliB, post: 86020, member: 16907"] I think it comes back to different cultures being adapted to eat their own traditional diet - gut flora differs in different cultures - those that consume a lot of yogurt and fermented foods appear to have a different balance of bacteria in the gut to those who eat mainly fish, meat and fat, or beans, corn and chilli. Those though are all natural foods - and whole pure natural foods do not, in general, affect the BS like processed foods do. The Western Diet is made up of a vast array of, as Michael Pollan succinctly puts it - 'food-like substances'. We just are not adapted, suited or indeed, designed, to eat very high-carb, high-sugar plastic - whatever our ancestral diet may have once been. The chinese may be able to cope with a certain amount of polished and/or bleached rice in their diet, but not even they can resist the negative effects of the creeping onslaught of Western 'civilisation' and the junk that comes with it.
