People back then died from animal attacks and things like that. Not from obesity related illness, heart disease, diabetes, etc. from shoveling bags of crisps into their fat mouth every day. Let's just forget about modern medicine too. Put people with those diets in modern time and they'd absolutely outlive most people today.
Eating processed shite is the reason why perfectly healthy looking 45 year olds drop dead from massive heart attacks. The bad carbs damage your blood vessels (since it's unnatural to consume them, kind of like ingesting a foreign body), causing stenosis, and then the LDL that would normally pass right on through gets stuck to the swollen and hardened arteries. It's really not UTTERLY LAUGHABLE or hard to understand at all.
It's also why nobody gave a shit about cholesterol and saturated fat 60 years ago, and rates of heart disease and other cardiovascular illness were no higher than they are today. |
33.. paleolithic life expectancy
Which means that in order for that species to survive, they need to reproduce quick, mature quick etc. So no reason why they need to live much past 33 in order to spread their genes.
Think about it. I don't think much has changed with regards to life expectancy in our genus to be honest. We are able to EXTEND our lifespan because of diet, medicine etc. but we still see the exponential aging after the age of 40 or so. Women aren't very viable after 35 etc.
A prolonged life expectancy would have to be a desired trait. there hasn't been much time that has passed from when we haven't been running from other species tribes or animals to rest and take our time for reproduction.
The protected species theory states that animals who aren't in danger of intraspecie competition or interspecie predation tend to live prolonged live cycles (turtles birds bats, sharks)
So end result, your theory doesnt make sense and if you have a case for it, provide some peer reviewed studies to show.

It's common sense. You don't need peer reviewed studies to see the massive amount of money that's having to be spent on health care for things like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and the list goes on.
Forget the paleolithic period, think about 50 years ago. Before the popularity of high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils as preservatives, and food designed by chemists, not by nature. You don't have to be a scientist to see that all of that is not meant for consumption by humans.
There's quite a few articles I've read that even surmise that many doctors are now saying things like high cholesterol and hypertension are only loosely related to consumption of high fat food. When you take the fat out of something you replace it with unnatural chemicals to enhance the flavor (because fat tastes good) and those chemicals are worse for you than the fat is in the first place.
You're also completely ignoring the fact that HEALTH CARE DIDN'T EXIST in paleolithic times. What do you think the average life span would be now without all of the medication people swallow blindly so that they can continue eating garbage. It's not a coincidence that of the top pharmaceuticals sold in the US every year, a cholesterol lowering medication (Crestor) is number 4, and a heart burn medication is number 2.
If people ate the things that people eat now in the paleolithic period their life span would probably be 15. They'd have no energy to go out and hunt, or they'd be too fat to do it. Try it for a week or two and try to tell me you don't feel markedly better. Your mood is lifted, you have more energy, you sleep better. The proof is in actually doing it.
