So, this is wherethe standard American diet is, and fortunately nobodyin this audience eats it, it's got the trifecta of grains,added sugar and plant oils and what it doesis that it causes insulin resistance and causes all the thingsthat we have heard about. But the way I want to summarizeis what is the optimal diet, whether you believe the expensive tissuehypotheses or not, we all recognize that we have enormousenergy expensive brains, and the primary focus of digestionis the small intestine which is designed to absorb high qualitynutrients without processing them and we have rudimentary fermentationcapacity as Zoe pointed out. In addition we have an acid based digestion,we have a monogastric stomach that makes acid that's absolutely essentialfor protein digestion, and if we dilute that acid with fiber,or fiber binds with minerals, you're not going to absorb the protein. In addition, our pancreas,we're bestowed with a pretty bad pancreas, because it cannot handle the glycemic loador the glycemic index and that's why it dies so quickly. Now, I'm not going to gothrough that graph, I put it up for people to peruse it later, but here are my arguments as to whyanimal sourced food predominantly low-carb, animal sourced food is betterthan whole food plant based diets. Because if you're ona whole food plant based diet, by design, you're going to eat a lot of fiber,in order to reduce the glycemic index, and if you're going to do that, you're goingto need a large amount of time in the day to eat to supply your brain with calories. I would not be able to prepare this talk,you would not be able to socialize and the practitioners like this,as Zoe pointed out, are going to spend a lot of timein the bathroom.
