Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hofmekler has plenty of interesting things to say, but some of them seem to be little more than " just so " stories. I've always been mystified by his assertion that undereating/starvation is an anabolic stimulus, for example. If the body thinks there's no food, why would it rearrange itself to consume MORE calories? And in his latest newsletter, there's this bon mot: >It has been established that people in different climates differ in their >capacity to utilize foods. By virtue of adaptation to the arctic climate, >Inuits fare better on raw fish and blubber. Native Africans who have >adapted to a warm, tropical climate, survive better on grains or fruits. I wonder what he'd have to say about the Masai. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
