Follow Mother Nature. If it’s something we’ve been eating for >100,000 years, it’s almost certainly healthy (up to a point; the dose matters too). If it’s a food that emerged in the last 200 years, treat it with suspicion (or avoid it as a precaution).https://twitter.com/alexdunsdon/status/1207676458233204744 …

Yes, but I doubt it's because of new stuff we're ingesting: trans fats, seed oils, ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, cigarette smoke, pesticides, GMOs, etc. More likely because of antibiotics, increased sanitation, vaccines, trauma surgery, less violence, etc.

Fail to see how trauma surgery has made us taller Seems to me that continuing the habits from the last 100,000 years will have us living, on average, as long as we did for the last 100,000 years. Increasing life span means doing something different.

Haven’t autoimmune diseases all dramatically increased in the last 200 years in particular though?

Just diabetes trends alone are alarming: https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/statistics/slides/long_term_trends.pdf … And metabolic syndrome (obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, schizophrenia, several types of cancer) is tracking the same path, up 35% in 13yrs: https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2017/16_0287.htm …pic.twitter.com/O8Pf000oCK
