'Heartburn' isn't the specific complaint of the original post, although it was vague. But in the case of both heartburn and 'interstitial cystitis' acidifying foods (not alkalizing/fibrous fruit) burn bacterial flora with acidity and cause putrefaction dysbiosis.

That makes it difficult to ever detox. Vegetarian diets are good transitional diets but if meat is replaced by dairy, there is generally no reason to expect any improvements in digestion.

5. More genetic fatalism philosophy, while people ignore diet factors and die of cancer every day...
"Cancer shows scant regard for healthy diet"
The popular press article referenced "the study" as being published in
the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, without giving credit to
an author, name of study, issue or date that the groundbreaking research
was published. Referring to it as 'the study', it supposedly obtained
data until 2000... But "the study&q

This is a red herring fallacy. Vitamin B12 is absorbed in and on wild plants in rich soil.

Excellent points are provided in this site.
Genetic fatalism is the condition that maintains the status quo disease expectancies and epidemics, which are much higher than those of the closest related species eating biochemically compatible diets, unlike cultural diets of humans.
From 1980 through 2007, the crude percentage of the population with diagnosed diabetes increased 136%.

Humans do NOT burn more calories than chimps. Chimps have higher energy requirements than humans in terms of protein, this is why they naturally produce 2.7 times the amount of protein in breast

The 'early humans' beyond their ecological niche just couldn't shake their digestive system with the trees. Humans are free to wonder about in the savannah and drink blood. This has nothing to do with biochemically

Yes, I prefaced my first response with the message that I am aware that most people do not regard humans as frugivores. I'll add to that, it seems uncomfortable for many humans to view themselves as natural fruit-eaters. I have no problem 'agreeing to disagree' with this. I'm very toler

CJJ, I can only hope the pain experienced from your ribs could potentially be just related to pleurisy or pleural effusions resulting from the sinus trouble, especially if you switched to an acidifying diet while your body was adjusted to an alkaline environment. If the body is slow to adjust to a sudden shift to an acidifying diet there could be excess mucous formation in reaction to the difficu

Human digestion and dentition resembles, most closely, the orangutans, chimps and bonobos- all frugivores, digesting fruit best. Humans also digest fruit best.
Some people don't like the classification of 'frugivore', whether it is because they don't like considering they are in the biological family of great apes or not is a mystery but humans digest fruit with opposing digestive processes to
