Had a piece of pork without anything else yesterday and guess what?

I started farting which is a sign of the meat rotting and followed by constipation in the morning.

Carnivores release A LOT more hydrochloric acid than us humans. Get your facts straight.

Our saliva is alkaline while carnivores is acidic.

What does a carnivore produces "A LOT" more hydrochloric acid mean? It means that we don't produce "enough" of it for digesting meat. any nursing student knows this.

"human saliva has a pH between 6.0 and 7.4 (7.0 being neutral), so if anything, it's a very weak acid on average."

saliva PH is based on a persons diet, meat is high in amino "acids" and fatty "acids" which increases acidity of saliva and plasma. last time I checked Cancer grows in an acidic environment. There is a big difference of 400 times between PH from 6 to 2, not really acidic.

Meat contains huge amounts of excess very long chain fatty acids that leads the body in storing these excess amounts of VLCF acids in the adrenal glands and brain. alzheimer's? adrenal shock?

we didn't share a common ancestor with the apes because sperm and egg DNA changes all the times, the apes would of also evolved. we are our own specie. not herbivores, not omnivores, not carnivores, but plain and simple frugivorous apes that need huge amounts of Vitamin D to process all the fructose in fruit.

meat eating is culture based, not gene based. we will never evolve into omnivores because true omnivores like bears and dogs manufacture huge amounts of Vitamin C to prevent atherosclerosis and Cancer.

meat is for surviving in a northern atmosphere.

I agree with this article and great post. Within the past few months I switched to a primal/paleo diet and feel great. When I do eat veggies to get my carb intake in which is around 80-100 a day (strength athlete) I feel bloated which I hate and this is from 2 cups of broccoli and 3 oz of spinach. To get that many carbs from greens is crazy and I also believe that our ancestors would not spend the day gathering tons of green veggies.

From an strength athletes standpoint what do you recommend for carbs then. Sweet potatoes and some fruit with a few greens I guess?

Thanks. A cow once told me : "Don't worry (about eating our meat); what matters is that we'll have had a good life". I learnt later how right she was, and many times I wished I was a cow in that field. Apart from that, never met any vegan who ever actually talked to a cow (or another animal for that matter), let alone having a cow talk to it. Only one possible conclusion : these people don't know what they are talking about. Compassion my arse : they don't know what it means either. The only thing they see or talk to is their own little selves and they don't even realise it (which makes it a lot worse).
There's got to be some vegans who do know, mind - but they ain't the nasty soul-eating breed who tries to brainwash others. Eating meat or eating souls, make your choice...
Rob (Jan. 29th) gave me and my dog a good honest laugh - nothing like it to settle upset guts. As for the rest, all that pickaninny about pH and the rest, isn't it so so sad that so many ppl don't know how to listen to their own bodies. There goes diversity, in comes pills diet.

3/5/2012 on yahoo is an article by a college trained nutritionist who thinks she is a know-it-all. she says the paleo diet is dangerous, for among other reasons, no cow milk...as if we were calves meant to drink cow milk. i responded and added in your website address. better to treat the other commentors to the facts than have them continue thinking this "nutritionist" has the facts, when she clearly has been brainwashed by the college she attended.

thanks for the response and the infoon another article toread. i sure wish i would all this science presented in the above format much earlier in my life. i started as a vegetarian in my teens, (though my parents hunted, fished and raised livestock in our "backyard"). i then became a veganand then a fruitarian. i then had a heart attack. i was 38. it was 20 years ago. my doctor put me on meat immediatly. a lack of blood calcium or protein, i think she said...it has been a while. i was still eating a varied diet..bread, all whole grain, i made it myself. very "healthy" and all the usual foods, though i do not eat foods i have not raised or fished, or my husband has hunted. but the breads and the other carbs have made me quite heavy. 9add in,i also retired from drought tolerant landscape designer career, got married at age 50 and had menopause all within 6 months of each other.much less exercise and too much bread) i started reading the suzanne somers books, also loaded with science and now have come to just eating what we ate before the domestication of animals and the agrarian revolution. the weight is falling off, i feel great!, and i feel no "deprivation" from no longer have bread cheese, my favorite raw milk, or anything else that is not natural for humans to eat. i have seen some paelo websites that are pushing items of food that i know just cannot be right. having worked with plants all my life, i am quite aware of the species that have been hybridized to make the current models...just take corn. it looks nothing like it did in it's original state, add in the fact that most people eat the gmo version. i will check out the link to the other article. i do not remember how i found this website, maybe through naturalnews.com, but i am quite appreciative that you and it exist to educate us.
