Nice work.<br /><br />I love that people are beginning to take account of "black swan" confounders and falsifications, looking beyond just-so, simple and pat answers (it's the carbs, or, it's the fat, or, it's the meat). I find particularly interesting that rice is "protective" to a point, and then you get into "too much of a good thing" territory...the intuitive explanation of which is that we require some baseline varriance or balance in nutrients and their sources. We evolved as omnivorous migratory animals, generalists, after all.<br /><br />Along these same lines, Mike Eades just put up a post actually raising some legit questions about carbohydrate being the principle cause of obesity.<br /><br />I applauded his post in one of my own that I posted yesterday and it would only be fitting if I did the same for yours.<br /><br />So, I better get drafting.Richard Nikoleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479556896882145179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-46208957898494675232016-01-29T05:56:51.806-08:002016-01-29T05:56:51.806-08:00Excellent article Ned!

I've been growing more and more wary of the Paleospeak that all grains and legumes are harmful in any amount, or the so called 'safe starches' versus toxic starches. Why should whole minimally processed wheat be different from any other natural food? <br /><br />Best, NilsNilshttps://nilskooijman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-90193295454118015942016-01-29T01:39:11.033-08:002016-01-29T01:39:11.033-08:00I've read that the Oxford statistician on the ...I've read that the Oxford statistician on the China Study, Richard Peto, said that the only thing that was clear from the China Study was that when people moved to the cities, their health declined. Another thing that made me wonder is that supposedly the rice-eating vegans in southern India have horrendous rates of heart disease, much more than the northern Indians who eat a lot of wheat. I used to think that since the most long-lived peoples are the Japanese and the Koreans, both rice eaters, it must be because of the rice, but maybe it's not.<br />The one thing you said that I don't agree with is that your article is easy to read for us non-scientists.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266618729820780848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-36536399763553488312016-01-28T19:53:19.573-08:002016-01-28T19:53:19.573-08:00thanks ....thanks ...<a href="http://www.socfermentasipakan.com/cara-mengatasi-hama-wereng-pada-tanaman/" rel="nofollow">.</a>Danihttp://www.socfermentasipakan.com/cara-mengatasi-hama-wereng-pada-tanaman/noreply@blogger.com
