		<description>&quot;nature doesnt make mistakes&quot;

Really? How about cancer, polio, and earthquakes?

The problem is your assumption that because it&#039;s found in nature and it&#039;s food, it&#039;s okay to eat. It may be in the best evolutionary &quot;interest&quot; of fruit to be eaten by humans, but that does not mean it is in your best interest to eat it.

Also, modern fruits are very different than what were available to paleolithic man. We have selectively bred fruit to be sweeter during the last few thousand years. The apples a caveman might have eaten probably tasted more like crab apples. So what you see in the grocery store is as much a product of man as it is of nature.</description>

		<description>Tod,

I enjoyed your post about sugar.

Nine months ago, I reached the same conclusions as you did in the post about carbs.  I then eliminated *all* carbs and have not had any fruit or vegetables since then.

For nine months, I have eaten only meat, which includes beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and fish.  My favorite is beef and I usually eat a ribeye steak everyday, as well as hamburgers.

In any case, I have noticed concrete positive results already. Examples include: I have rock-solid stable energy throughout the day (because my blood sugar level is constant), I no longer have allergic reactions to plant pollens, superfluous body fat has melted away, I am more alert, fecal elimination is much improved (it is a myth that we need to eat fiber), and I have a more stable mental state.  There are other positive discernable benefits, but those are the ones that came to the top of my head.

I also expect that the elimination of carbs will keep me healthy for longer, such as the positive effect you mentioned about glucose and cancer.

If carbs are objectively bad and are &quot;poison,&quot; as you suggest, then why eat *any* at all?  That was the question that I asked myself nine months ago and the answer caused me to eliminate all carbs. That is why I eat only meat and drink only water.  That is certainly way outside the &quot;mainstream&quot; of our society, but it has given me robust health and, hopefully, will continue to do so well into old age, which, by the way, makes &quot;retirement&quot; a prospect much more appealing than sitting by a window and watching your body and health waste away.  If I ever choose to &quot;retire,&quot; I look forward to many active years of enjoyment.</description>
