The door -- not very logical.

I wasn't presenting any solution myself, only suggesting which diets are viable and which in my research are not going to be healthful particularly for people with existing conditions.

Saying people all people would benefit from low carb (which I am not exactly saying currently) would be less extreme based on statistics of what works. thats my point.

What statistics is that? Based on people from forums on which people usually have some existing problems (with sugar, etc.)? I don't think this is a very representative sample of the whole population.

The OP asked what food pyramid would you suggest; something like this needs to be general enough to cover the whole population. I suggested 30-50% fruits, not 50% as you seem to see it. It's a general guideline, feel free to eat less or more fruits if that works better for you.

E.g. 30% would be about 150 grams of sugar. 5.5 medium bananas or 7 medium apples for example. Is that a lot of fruit?

My belief is to rather do what's more logical. Instinctive too, but we shouldn't forget using the brain.

Going by other people's experiences.. I don't think so.
Self-experimentation.. if it works for some short period it doesn't mean you won't burn out soon.

Well it doesn't seem that much different from that raw paleo pyramid (just that it's not so specific).

Actually no, that pyramid seems to be very low carb (10% fruits). Is that by calories? 2 fruits per day? Which statistics shows that such low carb diet is better than my version with higher carb for healthy people?

A serving or so of steamed white polished rice could be recommended for those who don't like so much fruits and need a higher ratio of glucose to fructose in the diet (e.g. highly active people).

I researched a bit on phytic acid, considering this diagram of how it binds to nutrients



I came up with this table (left out the protein)

phytic acid  660.04   100
calcium       40.078   6
magnesium  24.305   3.6
zinc           65.409   9.9
iron            55.845   8.5

First column are molar weights, the second is normalized to 100 for phytic acid. So 100mg phytic acid theoretically would bind to 6mg Ca, 3.6mg Mg, etc. (if my calculations here are correct, I don't have much clue about chemistry actually).

According to this phytic acid is a lot worse regarding zinc/iron availability than calcium/magnesium, which goes along with what's written on Wikipedia:

it chelates and thus makes unabsorbable certain important minor minerals such as zinc and iron, and to a lesser extent, also macro minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Even if you consume like 5000mg phytic acid daily it won't affect dietary Ca/Mg that much (considering their high RDAs), plus in practice the binding numbers will be probably lower. So I'm wondering, why does it have such a bad reputation regarding teeth health? Are zinc and iron that important for the teeth? Is it possible that it binds calcium/magnesium directly from the teeth already in the mouth? Can't think of other options.

When I think better you're probably right about going by smell/taste, the bad molds as far as I know are bad because they produce some toxins? and toxins usually are not very tasteful.

2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

That's 64bit but the 32bit Ubuntu will work fine as well (unless you have more than 4GB RAM).

My UK processor is 4GHZ AMZ. I have been looking at  gaming PCs costing 4,500 pounds plus which are even better. I am hoping that Moore's law still applies, but am worried that the only suitable  high quality PCs will only ever be parallel processors.

What's AMZ? Why would you need so much performance (4,500 pounds plus)?

What Do All the Longest-living Individuals Have in Common?

    Low fasting insulin levels
    Low fasting glucose
    Optimally low leptin
    Low triglycerides
    Low percentage of visceral body fat
    Lower body temperature

Does anyone here sees something wrong? Low body temperature?? Low fasting glucose (not sure what's low fasting glucose according to her, but hopefully it's not much lower than 90)? Somehow I don't think these exactly will help you live longer (or if they do then it will be a crappy life).

Linux is very user-friendly nowadays, it should be an easy thing to get used to.
Funny thing is I (as a Linux user) find Mac to be a very frustrating experience I've had to fix my girlfriends Mac a few times.. such a pain in the ass, even though the two systems are fairly similar under the hood as they come from a common predecessor (Unix).

I have found that when on the diet I have not experienced the great energy levels enjoyed by most people which I’m guessing is an intolerance to high carbohydrates, up to 400g a day! Which can't be good for canidia? Also when I’m on the diet my jaw seems to be constantly tense.

It sounds to me like you haven't eaten enough fat btw? In the wai diet it's promoted that calories from carbs and fat are roughly half-half (individually you'd adjust this ratio according to activity), thus I wouldn't say it's a very high-carb diet. If you've eaten up to 400g carbs, I doubt you've eaten 200g fat in addition.

Your quote from your linked website is just contradictory with what it says above:  

No it's not. Of course you'll have extreme thirst when dehydrated (although it seems in old people this is not so true), but if you drink only until the thirst is gone it won't be enough. Especially not when you're losing like 2 liters of water per hour. I've seen max 44C on my bike computer, at that temp it's hell cycling on the asphalt, and from my experience senses get messed up at much lower temperatures. Maybe your thirst mechanism works extremely well who knows

or pottery mud

I think it's exactly this? As kids we would go collect from this mud and make pots and "art" etc. Obviously it's everywhere around, but only on few places you would find it in sufficiently pure form that will work well for pottery. I never thought this would be edible though
