Wow! Andy!
Good stuff about processing. I would like to read the studies about that stuff regarding vegetarian diets in third world countries. Can you reference one or two of them? Would be appreciated. My understanding is that grains and milk are thought to be very high in humanly harmful lectins, which are very bad for us in the forms that they exist in those types of foods. It is being studied, even as I write, to get a definitive answer on that one. Because of the harmful lectins, those foods are thought to cause many of the autoimmune disorders present in the world, today, since agriculture became prominent. Those diseases don't show up in the fossil record until the advent of agriculture about 7,000 years ago. This, of course, was before the highly processed foods we have today. Anyway, would love to read that stuff. Always looking for answers.
