Hi Marlene, I hope your holidays were a joy to you as well, and I don't mean to be contentious, but I must disagree not only with your premis but also with your choice of sources.
There's no doubt that some people, even populations, are allergic to milk, and/or wheat, and/or animal protein, and/or various veggies, and franken-foods like GMO peanuts, etc. Also I can hardly doubt your own experiences - why should I? But by a similar token there are others, such as myself who have directly opposite experience to yours regarding food and allergies. I'll give one or two examples; I am not allergic to milk nor to milk products, nor to "dairy", in fact we kept a cow during my childhood and my only allergy was to having to go get her from wherever she had wandered during the day, to come home for milking in the evening. My brother and I had our cups on a ledge in the barn and my dad would fill them with fresh foamy milk right from the cow; we were enormously proud of our new foam moustaches! I have continued to drink milk copiously throughout my life and I'm now 76. No prob. with milk. During the 60's there was a great movement toward vegetarianism, soy, brown rice, tofu; turns out I am allergic to soy and soy products, and I don't mean just a little! I don't mind their taste at all, but as idealism swept over our dietary habits in my - err, youth - and us rebellious idealists expressed our desire for a better world through our actions, I had enough soy dumped on my plate so that even through the blur of "right thinking" it became real clear that soy was not good for me. It was Bad for me. I have been approximately omnivorous throughout my life, with a strong bias toward carnivory; partly you might argue I'd been brainwashed by my society, after all "Beef; it's what's for dinner". But my dietary preference was shaped in the relative absence of TV - it was shaped by what tasted good and what was available during the year, living in California; i.e., just about everything. I'd like to introduce another idea into this discussion, first time I ran into it was reading a book - Eat Right For Your Type - by Dr. Peter Adamso. The idea is that what your body does well with in the way of food, depends - or is shown by - your blood type. For instance; if you were from northern (cold) hunter-gatherer stock you'd be well adapted to meat and milk since live animals were the primary storage device; if from a sub-tropical temperate plains environment such as vast areas of China, you'd be partial to cultivated and field crops, and so on. He presents lots of good evidence to back up the history of blood types and diet and also the presence and absence of allergies to this-n-that, all based on blood types. So, if your examples are drawn from studies in China what could be more obvious than that they would show allergic reaction to heavy meat consumption? The vast majority of that population has historically subsisted quite well on vegetation; That's "what's for dinner" there - or was, until globalization. Globalization began with the migrations - driven by past climate alterations - of formerly isolated populations, perhaps ten or twenty or fifty thousand years ago. And Dr. Adamso points out that these migrations, which are mapped by DNA tracing as well as other anthropological evidence also show the development of the various blood-types and intermixes that have occured. So, take it from there, Malcolm On Mon, 2010-12-27 at 08:14 -0800, Marlene Hanson wrote: > Information as a gift for Christmas to you all.
