Jack Kruse is a rather well-known liar in the medical community. The American Neuroscience board recently suspended his license due to questions of integrity. http://www.aansneurosurgeon.org/210112/8/1210

Having read his little rant regarding electrons and protons in the body's metabolic systems, I would suggest that Mr. Kruse retake some basic physics courses. About the only thing he got right on his website is that raw meats/ seafoods are healthy. Overall: of course, we should eat raw seafoods. Will they feed our guts? Yes, most likely-- but the extent of their capacity to do so is seriously questionable.

It is a shame than an MD is marshaling extremely flawed and bombastic scientific rhetoric to legitimize his positions.

There is another part of this story few are putting together…………raw protein and substrate of the ketogenic diet with seafood like chitin and shells provide both pre and probiotics to feed the distal gut microbiome. The microbiome is designed to convert all this stuff to butyrate, a short chain fatty acid in the colon. Many people ask me why I don’t talk about veggies like Dr. Wahl does in her version of the paleo diet.  In my view,  she has only half the story right.  And yet, it seems to have worked for her.   I personally think she has the ability to get even better if she tweeks what she is doing further.

TRUTH BOMB ALERT

Eating raw seafood like,  oysters,  shrimp,  and their organ meats  contains the most prebiotic glycans.  Organ parts from seafood and organ meat is particularly good because it has the most prebiotics because it has the most collagen in it. It also has massive amounts of CoEnQ10. When the meat is freshly killed,  like would be the case in human history prior to agriculture; lots of prebiotic glycans would be delivered to a carnivore like microbiome to  allow for optimal gut function.

COOKING MISMATCH

This is why modern cooking techniques need to be questioned too. It is even why bone broths and seafood exoskeleton broths have downsides. Few people see this.  Crock pots and Sous vide’s are great modern tools for convenience,  but they degrade our microbiome and create a new environmental mismatchs that modern humans have had to deal with.  It’s been in their blind spot too.  We need to realize eating the tough sinew and tendons of fresh animals allows for the glycans and GAG’s to go undigested and make it to our distal gut to feed the critters there to keep the colon healthy by changing these things to butyrate and creating subcutaneous fat and not visceral fat.

Eating butter and coconut oil is a “modern paleo strategy” to try to outthink mother nature’s design.  We are better off letting nature do what she does best when we understand circadian biology and the action of protons and electrons.   Instead, we need to consider eating that grisel, chitin, and collagen in our dietary template;   The April 2014 webinar will explain why.  Are you a unhealthy skeptic?  OK……………

If the Amerindians were so healthy although they cooked a lot, then we should perhaps cook our food too, Inger?

Whats up with all that "fruity" hostility? You do know that at least 20 percent of mammals, including northern indigenous ones such as foxes, wild boars, deers, horses, wolfs eat fruit as a part of their diet? Fruit ain't drugs, not more than the meat and fat you eat, Inger.

Yes of course but I guess I am wondering if adapting and living in cold climates is beneficial or good for a person... or it is healthier to just be living in a place where you constantly have a warmer temperature.
