<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I received a few letters of encouragement concerning intellectual discussion on this list. Therefore, I want to discuss the minority theory that our ancestors left the trees to enter the streams, rivers and shallow seas in search of fish and aquatic plants and not to enter the dry savanah in search of grass seeds and big game. The best evidence for humans being aquatic apes and not terrestrial apes is that the most healthy source of protein and fat for humans is fish while the most unhealthy is from hoofed--plain dwelling-- animals. More evidence for humans being aquatic apes and not terrestrial apes is that we tollerate rice--an aquatic plant--better than wheat. On public tevelivisn saturday night 12-12-98, a nutritionist named Dr. Gregg Null, discussed his recent study on the foods people should avoid. To my surprise, wheat was listed along with the standard red meat, sugar, fried foods, etc. This may be the start of a new trend--to now get the wheat out of all healthy diets. Perhaps, if we hadn't come down with celiac disease from all the wheat, we would have come down with heart disease from all the red meat, or diabetes from all the sugar, or breast or prostate cancer from all the fried foods in our diets. Perhaps if we all ate more fresh fish and fresh vegetables, we would all feel better and it would be easier to obtain fresh fish and fresh vegetables. Sincerely, [log in to unmask]
