@NickSzabo4 I'm arguing that *even* descendants of early farmers improve health by cutting carbs. Perhaps others improve even more.

@NickSzabo4 I will provide some evidence. But first, I'd like to argue that the burden of proof should be in the other direction. … -

@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.
