Probably because I have not a serious background in Chemistry, Biology, physiology.. it seems to me that some things as Paleolithic diet theory is a matter of a large and probably not ending discussion. Some facts against it, others in favor..
Anyway, I have read this food degradation began after 2° world war, when costs began to be something very much important. Oils began to be processed with hot getting (as I have read) something adverse. And now we are living in a kind of world not comparable with any other human civilization.
Genetics manipulations, contaminations, drugs, poisons, chemicals, any kind strange procedures to reduce costs.. never before was seen something similar.
There are not discussion about the negative side of many things, as (as I know) mercury in fishes, but how many others continues without an ‘official verdict’? Who knows if current knowledge is enough to evaluate all these news changes. In other times doctors recommended to smoke, the fibber was getting out form foods (as continue happens) because they believe it haven’t any benefit.
And if we consider not only food but pollution, radiations.. I remember when I was a boy, cancer was something extremely unusual.. It seems really very reasonable to believe that nobody will die any more of old age. At least not those haven’t an extraordinary genetics or the conscious/intelligence/knowledge/ and possibilities to live a real health life style.. food is not the only issue.
