This is certainly true, and even undegenerated humans have widely differing constitutions. Some outstanding work was done on this by one of the greatest biochemists/nutritionists, Roger Williams (certainly not into raw). His "Biochemical Individuality" [technical] or his "The Wonderful World Within You" & "You are Extraordinary" [popular works] are well worth reading. Our individual nutritional needs have an extraordinary diversity. > I have a beautiful example on this (a 2 year > experience) in case anyone is interested in hearing the story.
