tl;dr Eat what your ancestors ate. Generic diet advice is bad advice. http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v13/n3/full/5201297a.html … http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v46/n5/abs/ng.2939.html … http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2377015/?report=classic …

@NickSzabo4 I'm arguing that *even* descendants of early farmers improve health by cutting carbs. Perhaps others improve even more. -
@zooko Where's you're evidence for that claim? (Studies that include non-early-farmer descendants obviously aren't good evidence for it). -
@NickSzabo4 I will provide some evidence. But first, I'd like to argue that the burden of proof should be in the other direction. … -
@NickSzabo4 … Even absent some specific measurements or experiments on some modern strains of human, I think the default assumption … -
@zooko No, it's a terrible assumption. Even simplest carb digestion genetic difference gives factor of 8 different risk of obesity. -
@zooko Generic study shows at best that a diet saves slightly > than it kills, in pop studied. Almost no info on if will kill you or me. -
@zooko Genetic info vastly more informative, next best ancestry also more informative.
