Our ancestors at one point in time had a diet consisting 60-80% of animal flesh. Do you think that this is what nature solved? I mean, technology has given us a way to rise above the evolution.

We do not have claws, or teeth that could pierce an elephant, lion, gazelle. It doesn't seem that nature solved anything. Or us, drinking cows milk? Did nature solve the digestion of human to consume milk of another mammal? Was this a thing in past. I do not think so.

Nature, over time, destroys what is fragile. If your ancestors have been drinking milk for millennia, then it is probably safe for your body. In similar dosages. Eat what has been field tested by nature, not the latest voodoo food.

1000 years isn't long enough for evolution.

we're not talking about evolution

[oilywater]

Oh, so you are talking about change of the species without evolution?

[Tycho]

We're talking about giving time for harmful effects to manifest themselves. If you are going to eat a diet which does not resemble what the human body evolved to deal with, then at least follow something that resembles what has been available to your kin for countless generations. If you start consuming brand new diets (not just in terms of the substances and nutrients they contain, but the concentration and dosage and regularity) you're much more exposed to potential harm.

But we are doing a brand new diet. About 2000-10000 years ago human diet consisted of around 80% animal flesh.
