Dietary Guidelines in the 21st Century - a time for food - Mozaffarian - JAMA 2010; 304; no 6; 681-682. “The nutrient-based approach may foster dietary practices that defy common sense.” So speaks out Dr Mozaffarian of Harvard Medical School. In an insightful article in JAMA (the American doctors’ journal) he looks at the link between diet and chronic disease. Dr Mozaffarian observes that USDA Dietary Guidelines are an outgrowth of the ‘magic bullet’ mentality where the emphasis is on specifying an ever-widen¬ing range of nutrients. However the prob¬lem today is not one of nutrient deficiency but, rather, the intake of the wrong foods. Bond Briefing: August 2010. 15. Back from chaos. Edward O Wilson: Enlightenment thinkers knew a lot about everything, today's specialists know a lot about a little, and postmodernists doubt that we can know anything at all. One of the century's most important scientists argues, against fashion, that we can know what we need to know, and that we will discover underlying all forms of knowledge a fundamental unity. Edward O Wilson, Atlantic Monthly, March 1998. 16. Cooking up a storm. Brian Ridley The concept of consensus in science seems innocuous, but it conjures up dangerous possibilities... A Law of Nature is not decided by a referendum, nor even by a committee of the Great and the Good. Scientific knowledge is gained by the insight and talent of the individual scientist and discussion with his peers. In this sense, the idea of consensus in science is an oxymoron... Prof Brian Ridley, Salisbury Review, Autumn 2010. 17. Achieving Hunter-gatherer Fitness in the 21st Century. O'Keefe American Journal of Medicine (2010) 123, 1082-1086. The systematic displacement from a very physically active lifestyle in our natural outdoor environment to a sedentary, indoor lifestyle is at the root of many of the ubiquitous chronic diseases that are endemic in our culture. The intuitive solution is to simulate the indigenous human activity pattern to the extent that this is possible and practically achievable. Suggestions for exercise mode, duration, intensity, and frequency are outlined with a focus on realigning our daily physical activities with the archetype that is encoded within our genome.

We have always been puzzled by the modern mantra to drink all that water. In our Natural Eating precepts we point out that our Pleistocene ancestors could achieve water balance without drinking any water at all. Not surprising really; not much fun competing with lions, crocodiles and hyenas for a sip from a muddy, excrement-infested waterhole. On the contrary, a high plant-food diet should provide all the liquid you need. Now Heinz Valtin, MD. says that the universal advice, which has made swigging water a national pastime, lacks scientific proof and is more urban myth than medical insight. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2002 Nov;283(5):R993-1004. "Drink at least eight glasses of water a day." Really? Is there scientific evidence for "8 x 8"? Valtin H. Bond Briefing: September 2002. 22. Aborigine Health Returns when Return to Traditional lifestyle. Diabetes. 1984 Jun;33(6):596-603. Marked improvement in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in diabetic Australian aborigines after temporary reversion to traditional lifestyle. O'Dea K. Abstract. The rationale for the present study was that temporarily reversing the urbanization process in diabetic Aborigines should improve all aspects of their carbohydrate and lipid metabolism that are linked to insulin resistance. Ten full-blood, diabetic Aborigines from the Mowanjum Community (Derby, Western Australia) agreed to be tested before and after living for 7 wk as hunter-gatherers in their traditional country in north-western Australia. They were middle aged (53.9 +/- 1.8 yr) and overweight (81.9 +/- 3.4 kg), and all lost weight steadily over the 7-wk period (average, 8 kg). A detailed analysis of food intake over 2 wk revealed a low-energy intake (1200 kcal/person/day). Despite the high contribution of animal food to the total energy intake (64%), the diet was low in total fat (13%) due to the very low fat content of wild animals. Oral glucose tolerance tests (75 g glucose) were conducted in the urban setting and repeated at the end of 7 wk of traditional lifestyle. The marked improvement in glucose was due to both a fall in fasting glucose (11.6 +/- 1.2 mM before, 6.6 +/- 0.8 mM after) and an improvement in postprandial glucose clearance (incremental area under the glucose curve: 15.0 +/- 1.2 mmol/L/h before, 11.7 +/- 1.2 mmol/L/h after). Fasting plasma insulin concentration fell (23 +/- 2 mU/L before, 12 +/- 1 mU/L after) and the insulin response to glucose improved (incremental area under the insulin curve: 61 +/- 18 mU/L/h before, 104 +/- 21 mU/L/h after). 23.

An adequate vitamin D intake is associated with a lower risk of osteoporotic hip fractures in postmenopausal women. Neither milk nor a high-calcium diet appears to reduce risk. Because women commonly consume less than the recommended intake of vitamin D, supplement use or dark fish consumption may be prudent. Am J Clin Nutr 2003;77:504–11. Feskanich et al. 33. The two faces of serotonin in bone biology. The serotonin molecule has some remarkable properties. It is synthesized by two different genes at two different sites, and, surprisingly, plays antagonistic functions on bone mass accrual at these two sites. When produced peripherally, serotonin acts as a hormone to inhibit bone formation. In contrast, when produced in the brain, serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter to exert a positive and dominant effect on bone mass accrual by enhancing bone formation and limiting bone resorption.

World Archaeology 2004 Vol. 36(4): 459 – 478. The early peopling of the New World has been a topic of intense research since the early twentieth century. We contend that the exclusive focus of research on a Beringian entry point has not been productive. Evidence has accumulated over the past two decades indicating that the earliest origin of people in North America may have been from south-western Europe during the last glacial maximum. In this summary we outline a theory of a Solutrean origin for Clovis culture and briefly present the archaeological data supporting this assertion. (Bond Briefing: September 2011) 37. The Shaping of New Testament Narrative and Salvation Teachings by Painful Childhood Experience; Benjamin J. Abelow; Archive for the Psychology of Religion 33 (2011) 1-54. The influence of childhood corporal punishment, abandonment, and neglect on the development and reception of seminal New Testament teachings. Widespread patterns of painful childhood experience provided a thematic template that shaped the New Testament during its formative period. This thematic shaping has contributed to the spread and persistence of Christianity. (Bond Briefing Nov 2011) |
