That's nice :)
I remember your name from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center posts, I think...
This is awesome... If you’re a mouse 😄
“LOL you are confusing deaths from predators versus longevity based on diet.”
????????
Mice and deer do not live long lives. Period. Most do not die from predators. However, most lions die at about 1/3 of their lifetime in captivity due to starvation and/or injuries from fighting or from damage while hunting.
“However, humans stand apart from all apes in some features of the gut proportions (Fig. 1). In humans, more than half (56%) of the total gut volume is found in the small intestine whereas all apes have by far the greatest total gut volume (>45%) in the colon (9,10). In addition, the overall size of the human gut in relation to body size is small in comparison to that of apes (9,10).
Hindgut dominance in apes suggests adaptation to a diet lower in quality than that consumed by humans, a diet containing considerable bulky plant material, such as insoluble fiber and seeds. In contrast, the proportions of the human gut, dominated as it is by the small intestine, the principal site of nutrient digestion and absorption, suggests adaptation to a high quality diet, one that is nutritionally dense and highly digestible relative to that of any wild ape “

Fire and the Brain: How Cooking Shaped Humans
“Compared to chimps, our nearest living relatives, and to australopithecines, the ancestors of our genus, Homo, humans have puny digestive systems. We have smaller teeth, weaker chewing muscles, and shorter gastrointestinal tracts. But we also have higher energy needs. Our bigger bodies require more calories to run. We travel farther than chimps as we go about our days (or at least we did, before modern societies invented the couch potato). And we have far bigger brains, about three times the volume of those of Australopithecus, and even more than that compared to chimps’. Big brains make a big difference, because brains use more energy than any other human organ—up to 20 percent of our bodies’ total energy use. So how do we get enough calories to support our energy-hungry bodies and lifestyles?”

That’s me. Those were great times!
I have read through #45, the last one at present, and I think I see the problem.
All posters so far are young.
Those of us who are older remember when coffee was poison. It would cause cancer, tumors in women’s breasts, ....
Butter would kill you. You must use a substitute.
Salt will kill you....
Beef will kill you....And eggs were as bad as the worst.
Now we are told that all are better for you than their substitutes.
The main lesson here is that there is an expert who has found something, but has no idea what.
My definition of a fool: One who knows everything but knows not what to do with what he knows.

I'm 74 and have been doing a LOT of heavy fall yard cleanup, burning 500-900 calories each session with lot of heavy blowing, raking, bagging, and lifting 40-50 pound bags of yard debris into the Ford Expedition. So far this fall, I've taken 2,000 pounds to the dump. Seven sessions so far.
I just ordered "NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Branched Chain Amino Acids, With Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, 240 Veg Capsules" on Amazon.
I knew of a horse that ate cheeseburgers.
The mice commissioned and paid for the earth so they should be living well.
Thanks for the ping. I know it’s not lost on you that this amino acid is one of those that helped seniors with exercise performance in your recent threat at https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4353970/posts . Never dull here!
The thread was not threatening, so I apologize for the typo!
Also known as “You will eat ze bugs”
I don’t want my mice to outlive me.
They might get hungry and eat my corpse.

Correct!
Until agriculture became the main sustenance food about 12000 years ago starvation and times of plenty were the norm. Kill a huge animals and it is a time of plenty. Thus humanoids have had about 300,000 years of evolution to save every parcel of food we ate and turn it into fat for future famine. Our bodies are designed for feast and famine and survival.
Agriculture change our diets greatly and led to an explosion of population, which is not bad. Evolutionary wise our bodies are more metabolically and dietaryly designed for pre-agricultural days. We will slowly change to accomodate this new dietary but it takes many many generations for such. In effect our bodies were designed for the cave man diet before agriculture which was eat anything and everything that will give your calories, fat, protein and sugars.
Big Pharma would never allow your idea. Too much money to be made from sick people and drugs.
