Shellfish (& meat); From an evolutionary point

From an evolutionary point of view aren't we supposed to be eating things like shellfish - mussels and oysters and scallops rather than fish like salmon or mackerel? Primitive man lived near rivers and the ocean and fishing implements and boats were a later invention. So I would presume primitive ma...

I read that the IQs of breastfed and non-breastfed children tend to equalize in later years although breastfed children show an edge in their early years. Other studies show otherwise. In a control study with non-breastfed siblings as the controls, the study found that there was no difference in in...

The towers were not brought down by planes. That was physically impossible.

The towers were brought down by mininukes.

Well, I was breast fed until I was 1.5 years old and I feel fine - although better since I started the Wai diet of course! The cultures you mention historically have had inferior diets compared to what most westerners consumed, especially in the years after the black death when food was plentiful. ...

Are we programmed to overeat?

I wonder if we humans are programmed to eat food to the point of overeating? Is that how we evolved? Could it be that periods of famine in our history meant that the ones who stocked up on food during the good times i.e. overate, were the ones who survived famine? Could that be why some people find ...

Thinking and glucose

How much glucose does the body use when thinking intensively? For example when working at a computer and concentrating hard for hours at a go? Does this consume a lot of energy or is the energy used to perform brain activity minimal? Could that be why I tend to overeat when doing work that requires ...

Coffee and becoming overweight

I have been reading a blog about the mental effects of coffee, how it makes you think not clearly, and makes you feel like you have to do a hundred things at once in record time, and I realized that coffee might be the thing that is sabotaging my weight loss. I know Wai says it's OK to have coffee o...

No wonder it's easy to put on weight for most people. It's because of the abundance of food - right in your fridge or at the corner convenience store, it's so easy to eat when one is feeling emotionally off - even when just bored. And then the food one eats is usually of the wrong choice and it cont...

Well, I shoudl amend the last statement and say that there are a lot of 'uninformed people' around, people who refuse to believe we came from rocks/minerals. I didn't make this part up. I learned this from a young age when I read up on evolution and saw a series on TV about evolution that was narrat...

It's fact. Evolution is a science that is accepted by the scientific community, just like they accept that earth revolves around the sun and that we evolved from fish and before that from worm-like creatures and before that ... all the way back to minerals when there wasn't anything else on earth. ...

I don't care what other people think, but I care that I don't think I have accomplished what I want to in life. For instance, people around me measure success as making a lot of money by a certain age, and that is not what I have ever cared about and I have never lived my life like that, so that is ...

The more I came to understand the topic, however, I became convinced that the traditional mechanisms underlying evolution - natural selection, survival of the fittest and so on - are becoming outdated. It is my conviction that we are standing on the verge of a new phase of evolution; with the devel...
