this is such a pointless discussion.

That site is unscientific nonsense.

End confusion!

Glad I could help.

Do a Google scholar search about the medicinal properties of herbs rather than getting your nutritional info from opinion sources.

Not sure why that is your criteria. You're aware that humans evolved eating all sorts of foods, right? AFAIK, it would be pretty much impossible to eat the way you describe in nature because only artificiality bred foods are so bland that you can stuff yourself on them without adverse reaction. Slightly more natural foods such as figs with zing you if you eat too many, I certainly wouldn't want to eat more than a pound or two a day.

Foods compliment, IMO, like man & woman (or mm or ww, whatever one is into) but to each their own, if the mono thing is working to help simplify your life I can see it's value.

Yes CB. But the past is the past. What are humans capable of today? Have they explored the boundaries of health? Hardly. Most people today are not 'plagued' with the problem that they are eating 'too simply', i.e., mono-eating, and developing protein and nutrient deficiencies. The fears are understandable...but my personal opinion is that the reality is just not there for the standard western eater....drawing from my own personal experiences. The outstanding problem seems to be that most folks have no true 'touchstone' of health. They either don't know what is healthy. Or even if they do know the foods and techniques....they mix and match....to the point of not getting any real feedback on which foods are most sustaining to them at THEIR stage of eating. Just some thoughts.

Still possible though, look at Alibaba. I'll let guys like you do my research for me.

I do agree that it could be helpful to do an "elimination" type diet and then add foods in one at a time, I just don't think one could possibly get enough variety (in the long term) eating only one or two foods a day. As I noted our bodies don't seem ideally suited for such specialization.
