I'm not going to rant on who's right or wrong. Maybe hunter gatherer is right.Maybe fruitarian is also right. why can't there be more than one answer. I've ate meat all my life. My parents would only buy fresh meat from a local farmer.Everything was organic, grass fed, free range etc.Since we live by the ocean, fish was also fresh.I ate a balanced diet according to the food pyramid. Since switching to raw foods& fruits, I have never felt so good in all the 23 yrs of eating meat.I'm healthier now
I totally agree that the hunter gatherer model is what makes most sense and is the most natural. Most fruiterians tend to bring morality into the discussion, as though its a religeon to follow but logically, it doesnt make sense. What did people do thousands of years ago in cold climates when there are no fruits? They hunted.
IMO the main problem with health today is the heavy processed foods and the amount of food consumed (too much) and the fact that we dont move around as much.
The only thing I don't agree with here is the part around 12:50 with pesticides. The reason we have to put pesticides/herbicides/fingicides on things is that natural doesn't abide by the laws of man. They are trying to survive, eat and reproduce like all living and creatures. Insects/fungi/weeds will grow irregardless of how and where you grow foods because they are living off the same foods that we do. The natural world is a battlefield of survival.
@partyboylacrosseb520: Nowhere in the video does he imply that humans should eat like wolves. His point is this: All domesticated dogs were bred from the wolf. If you want to know the natural diet of your pet dog, look at what wolves eat in the wild. In comparison, if we want to know the natural diet of humans, look at what hunter-gatherer cultures ate for thousands of generations, because that's our genetic lineage. Anthropology & studies done in the first half of the 1900s show these things.
@concordguitarlessons this is pure unadulterated bullshit. Were there many breeds of wolf? Like some that looked like dobermans? And the German Shepherd is a very young breed, 'perfected at the turn of the 20th century'. Here's a q for u hunter gatherers, what did the human eat before he developed killing tools? It sure wasn't animals because he was neither fast enough or strong enough to catch them. He didn't have claws to hold them nor fangs to pierce their hides. Addiction causes delusions.
lol,i bet durian rider has more stamina because he runs frequently.daniel vitalis therefor has more strength.I'm not saying you have to eat only meat because thats unhealthy too.
but a good mix from raw vegetables and fruits,cooked vegetables,high quality fats and oils,and some (good quality) meat or fish and eggs.
trust me.people who live only from fruits will develop serious deficiencys in the long run.
fruitarianism isnt even sustainable if more people would do it.
What about a fat source of nuts,coconut oil and avocado ? Im pretty sure that's a very sustainable fat source for humans compared to animal fat. But im not sure if he was talking about animal fat or the ones I mentioned.
I'm also curious to know how this paleo diet is working for you athletically. Do you feel like you have more or less energy? What are your fitness levels like? Thank you if you get a chance to repsond to this.
So my question is why are you referencing to wild wolves or even domesticated dogs for that matter? Maybe it would be more realsitic to compare us to a species thats more relative to our evolutionary construct. Also, you can't aruge the fact that all the saturated fats coming from meat are clogging up the blood vessels to fuel the heart and cappilaries feeding our brain. Our brain functions off of glucose, natures primary ingredient, which is found in fruit.
Daniel, I don't understand why you refer to the diet of wild dogs/wolves or domesticated dogs in comparison to the human diet. We are completely different beasts anatomically, physically, and emotionally (young children could not kill an animal without feeling suffering himself). Wolves are born hunters with enhanced night vision, sharp teeth for ripping through thick layers of fur,skin meat and bone, long GI tracts for quick elimination of putrifying, decomposing flesh.
My problem with paleo is that if everyone did it, the world would be completely fucked. The environment cannot support 7 billion people eating grass fed meat. Then there's the vast amount of evidence supporting high carb plant based diets, and the incredible increase in efficiency of production. See PCRM.
@brianv00 The paleo diet is meant only for hunters (exercise) Hunters require a small population of humans. The only way the paleo diet can be eaten by all people on Earth if earth and the number of animals in it was 10 times bigger.
sepp HOLZER pulled of wild biodynamic permaculture gardening.... Add some seedball planting tactics, viktor schauberger technique and we can re Garden of Eden this whole place.
for me, ive been looking to eat more fats in favour of carbs, not getting rid of them completely, however. studies have shown that dependance of high carb diets can inhibit our ability to use fat during endurance excercise..
What he doesn't say is he didn't eat fruit the right way. Or do the vegan diet the right way. This guy is nothing but a scam artist wanting to sell BS like Raw water. Bananas rock and this DV is a joke.
@veganchica81 I agree. I mean, Daniel stated in one of his videos that when he did raw foods, he was mostly eating olive oil, coconut oil, and kale. This is insanity. Too much fat, not enough healthy carbs like fresh fruit.
@charles555558 Yea, I agree. Fats are definitely good and essential, but when your diet predominantly consists of only kale, olive oil, and coconut oil, then it is definitely not a balanced diet. 90% of calories are probably coming from fat. Look for kevin gianni's #671 video to see what Daniel's diet was like as a vegan.
What a lovely guy! Although I disagree about the insulin spiking and crashing, I find I run great on fruits when I don't combine them with fats. I eat my fats and other food separately from fruit.
Talking about natural foods, how come Daniel says "hybrid" fruits like bananas from a tree are not natural, but cow's cancer-causing powder colostrum (that was cooked and dried) in a plastic bottle that he sells IS natural? This is very hypocritical.
He said people make up nutrition truths. It seems to me that he makes up some truths as well. Is it a scientific fact that you get high on sugar by eating fruits and then you crash. No you do not. I tried high fruit diet and it made me really balanced and strong. Also the inclination to exercise came so much easier. The recovery after exercise was amazing. If I eat white sugar then I feel awful.
Also he says that it is impossible to live on fruits alone in nature. The monkeys do it. So can we.
Our ancestry can be traced back approximately 65 million years; nearly all of which was spent in the TROPICS. In the tropics, fruit was/is abundant and that is what we have been eating for nearly 65,000,000 years! To say we are not supposed to eat so much fruit is rather comical, actually, especially coming from someone pushing elk and cattle extracts! Animals that DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE TROPICS!
OMG finally some sanity. Got here through the Durianrider response to this video, and its great to see someone like Dan who actually has like, oh i don't know, facts and knowledge embedded in their speech. Keep speaking truth man, truth is its own reward!
maybe Chiquiti but not our Jamaican banana--same ones we have had for hundreds of years--pictures and drawings verify this--we have all kinds --apple banana-cherry--etc but they are smaller and have a unique flavor--hard to ship though--the bigger typical banana is still grown by seed as well as sucker--our fruits here are diverse and old species--all hybrids or gmf's are risk fruits or veges--go for heirlooms--real fruits were made for our consumption
Thank-you so much for posting this! Im an old lady and I learned something new!
I will say that even 2 weeks ago I was looking at my banana and asking,"Where are my little black seeds?" When I was a small girl bananas had cute little black seeds that I just loved to see and eat! Now they are gone....it's just all white...very sad.
Still as sad as that is this video is ver exciting!!! (^_^)
If you take a cutting from a plant to grow it into another plant, that cutting is a clone of the previous plant. Nothing wrong with that! It's the stuff that they are splicing with DNA of other species or bacteria,etc. that I have trouble with...
He bases his discussion on research, ratiional thinking and scientific, peer reviewed research. Looking at the comments below it's amazing that very few them offered rebuttals are based in science or evidence. They are emotional opinions. Feeling something should be so, does not make it so. A lesson in critical thinking and evaluating data based on the scientific method of observation and experimentation would help you reach more logical and proven ideas.
Yes Daniel there are people out there just making stuff up, take a look in the mirror my friend. Bananas were 'invented' 200 years ago, priceless. Come on man listen to yourself. Do you really think all fruits were invented in a lab and none of them are naturally sweet? Have you ever been to the tropics? Dates have been around thousands of years, were they sour in the past? Sugar is the primary fuel for the human body, on a low fat diet blood sugar issues don't exist!
@runningman97 I think you are missing the point. He is talking about hybrid fruit. I don't think people are talking about going on a 100% "date" diet. Have you eaten dates from thousands of years ago? Tell me about them...
@BradleyWillTV I understand that but there's nothing really wrong with hybrid fruits, they may have been bred selectively to make them sweeter but that's not a bad thing, . The fact is bananas are very nutritious, packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which all help you process the sugar properly. Seedless fruits also occur naturally from time to time and have been selected that way, it's not like they've been genetically modified which i'm dead against....
@BradleyWillTV ....Dates have been a staple food in some middle eastern countries for millenia. Of course I haven't tried them from a thousand years ago but plenty of people did and they seemed to like them. I've eaten most of my calories from fruit for the best part of a year now and it's been the best thing i've done in my life, I judge by results not theory :)
He doesn't really give much directly applicable advice... Just wows people with lots of impressive sounding information, whether it's true or not.
If one argues fruit has changed in a bad way because of us... Well then that argument applies to EVERYTHING, so we shouldn't eat anything according to Daniel.
You missed the point and you seem a little upset. Doesn't matter, fats are more important because they are easily converted to sugar. Protein is important as well. Carbs are not god and are surely not number one when it comes to nutritional priority. Still following? Good. Energy is obtained from carbs OR fats. "Ketosis is caused when the body metabolizes body fat for energy purposes, instead of the usual glucose-from-carbohydrates." As in superior. Doesn't work both ways....
I'm not upset, and don't patronize me. I know what ketosis is. I also know it's very taxing on your liver and kidneys. It releases ketones and nitrogen into your blood stream, and they have to be excreted by your body. It's not "easy" as you said. Glucose is the primary fuel used by your body. Glucose is a sugar. Our bodies run on sugar. You can either get glucose in your diet, or you can add in a middle man for some reason, and have your fats/proteins converted INTO glucose...
Revelation! The strange and wonderful thing about man is that he/she/it can innovate! Yeah, we've manipulated the wild fruits into something a lot different. We also manipulate prey species with blowguns! I think it's majorly ok to change things because things ARE changing. Why not have it as a game? How much beneficial change can I create in my awareness of how much change is possible, and maybe even desirable? namaste.
Eating "green cooking Bananas" that have ripened to a sweet fruit right now!! Oh what a joy to live in the tropics and see those little baby banana trees shoot out from the roots of their mamma!! YUM!
I eat a low carb, high protien diet and I know exactly what he means about the energy that you get from fat especially from MCTs. The energy is more stable than with carbs and longer lasting. One thing to remember with most whole grains is that they are from a grass which has protections that don't jive with our bodies. They are a great filler and they last through the cold winters but grains are not a natural food source. Grasses do not depend on animals to spread their seeds.
A raw diet is suppose to be healthy and shouldnt worry about calories, sugar, fruit etc. People always have to find something negative about any diet. I dont agree with what hes saying ,eat fats for fuel is wrong you will gain weight like hell, fruit is extremely healthy and no one is going to spend all their time to grow their own trees and harvest their fruit, whoever does do it good for them , they must be really hungry though , because they would have to wait and grow those fruit.
green juice friuts soaked nuts and seeds.exercise.Bible.that alll you need!!!!!!!!!!!! Gen 1:29 -30 KJV 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
@durianriders Like JAMETH SHERIDAN says ''ive never met a long term fruitarian that was healthy or who didnt cheat after 25 years in raw'' and by the way Doug doesn't count cos its well known in raw circles that hes ''not telling everyone everything hes doing'' to quote jameth. Now remember, jameth's on the low fat vegan plan- so as ive said- set up a skype interview with him and HE WILL SPELL IT OUT TO YOU---GLYCATION BOY, GLYCATION.
Here in the Virgin Islands, I have quite a few banana trees in my yard. They maybe hyprids, I don't know, I didn't plant them. They aren't the big yellow bananas you see in the super market, they are the green bananas for cooking. However, they don't grow from a seed, they grow like bamboo with shoots of baby trees coming up from a mother tree. I can appreciate Daniels effort and research but I think we have to take everything he says with a grain of salt :-)
A hi fruit, low fat diet for me got rid of fatigue, ibs and depression. I feel great when I stick to fruit and easy to digest greens and salads. When I slip up though and eat raw high fat foods the ibs and fatigue come back. This doesn't happen if I eat low fat cooked foods, although they make me put on weight. For me the high fruit and low fat (ie little or no nuts, seeds and oils) raw diet is the way to go. I feel awesome now, my health and fitness have come on in leaps and bounds.
Wow, it is so interesting how different people are. I was on a high fruit, low fat diet and I absolutely could not cope with everyday stresses and activities, fatigued all the time. I was so convinced that it was the diet for me that it nearly killed me. It was not until I adopted a high fat, mainly ketogenic raw diet til I began to thrive. Keep doing what you are doing, keep making leaps and bounds.
@eatmoreraw Its because you've eaten to much fruit for too long, once you slowly incorporate more fats in over time your body will balance out and that will not happen!!
idk but why is it whenever someone tries to justify their personal change they attack the system they chnged from. why is he attacking raw food now just because he wants to eat meat. just be honest and say u want to eat meat now. its ok. i like meat too!!! u dont have to attack raw food. u cant argue science. those socalled supermarket hybrid foods cure diseases. thats what the science shows. what science does he have? what degree does he have?
@durianriders (keeping mystery) Yeah, you did- about your b12 shots. 811 is superior, 'wait a minute while i go into the bathroom and shoot myself up with b12'. 'Quick, get my bike (dont hold it against me people-all the bike boys do this'). Daniel is a picture of health, not like you - your pasty white, skinny and emaciated lookin. Next you'll be telling us its just the camera your using. Show me a tree that grows your b12 shot.
The piece of paper on a fire analogy is not relevant for someone who hasn't degraded their digestive system w/high fat/protein/cholesterol and cooked food, etc. The paper doesn't blow up in a flash so to speak. With a habilitated intestine, transit time is longer on fruit and fruit promotes healthier bacterial flora and modify the shape and length of the intestine to increase absorption.
There's no dramatic spike/crash while eating whole raw fruit.
Culturists advocate customary 'meals' to 'fill you up' 'put hair on your chest', etc. But carbs and fiber of fruit are digested in large quantities better than high fat fallback food.
There are native apples in N. America, Australia, Asia, etc. There are also tens of thousands of edible fruit species. throwing the baby out with the bathwater just because u don't like commercial fruit does no good.
It's a drop in the bucket. No digestive overhaul within the past 200,000 years caused humans to be able to digest meat safely.
Really worried about consuming sterile fruit and infertility among humans? Research pesticides and dietary hormones... Fruit doesn't make humans sterile.
The yellow sweet banana is a mutant strain of the green and red cooking bananas, discovered in 1836 by Jamaican Jean Francois Poujot. He found that in his plantations, one plant was bearing yellow fruits rather than red or green. Upon tasting the new discovery, he found it to be sweet in its raw state, without the need for cooking. He quickly began cultivating this sweet variety.
Doesn't sound like mad science to me? Seeds arent needed for propagation as new shoots grow from the corm.
1502 A.D. According to Spanish history, Friar Tomas de Berlanga brought the first banana root stocks to the Western Hemisphere. A Chinese variety was sent to England, where it was named "Cavendish" after the Duke of Devonshire's family. This variety and its sub-groups account for much of the commercial banana cultivation. Even though several other varieties are now cultivated for commercial purpose, they only account for about 20 of 300 different species.
2000 B.C. - Bananas have apparently originated in Malaysia
600 B.C. - Bananas are cited in Buddhist texts
327 B.C. - Alexander the Great's army recorded for the first time in history the existence of banana crops in the indian valleys. Alexander is also credited for bringing the banana from India to the western nations.
63 B.C. - Antonius Musa - the personal doctor of the then Roman emperor Octavius Augustus - was credited for promoting cultivation of the exotic African fruit from 63 to 14 B.C
Recent archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence at Kuk Swamp in the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea suggests that banana cultivation there goes back to at least 5000 BCE, and possibly to 8000 BCE.[1] There is some textual evidence that the prophet Muhammad was familiar with bananas. During the medieval ages, bananas from Granada were considered among the best in the Arab world.[29]

Interesting place for an indigenous food conversation - a parking garage. lol As far as whether sugars, carbs, fat, etc... are best for us, I think we need to look at what's best for the individual. As a culture we are a melting pot of peoples from all over the globe. Northern Euros can mostly consume dairy and do well whereas many Asians cannot.
As a race, we have evolved. For example, milk products are not part of the hunter gatherer diet. Now, many can thrive using them.
The fact is, human evolved to live a nomadic lifestyle, where they hunted & foraged.
Evolution is very slow, and humans have not evolved physically to live in this modern, cityscape culture,. The results of modern society are high suicide rates, high cancer rates, high homicide rates, poor quality health in general, and the destruction of our natural environments.
One day this artificial society will collapse, and we will be forced to return to the old ways.
Those who like Daniel will find something good to say, those who don't will find something bad. Those who are AWARE will just realize that diversity is key in Life and respect each others' differences. Find what works for YOU.
What you eat does not determine how long you live. What truly determines the length of your life is your AWARENESS.
If you cross the street without looking, you might get run over by a bus. So be AWARE.
Look at Ann Wigmore. All that raw food, and she died in a fire.
I do like the ending of this,I agree with a lot. This whole thing about well their is actually sweet fruits in nature!Why wouldn't you be able to get these wild sweet fruits if your a migratory human in ancient time? I've had grapes with seeds that sweet many times.What are his solutions to combat this agro nightmare we've made. Frankly their just isn't enough food for most people out there. Unless your going to live on wild greens. Raw food has gotten so confusing their is nothing left to eat.
Just because ancient man ate a certain way because it was best for survival does not make it best for longevity. Just a guess but I'm sure they would just consume any food they could in any combination just to stay alive. Doesn't prove it's healthy.
their is only so many foods you can pick from the wild...greens...fruit...that leaves meat and milk. Do you really think in our long ancestry we lived on mostly on animal foods? I would hardly say their is enough proof to prove veganism. But getting most cals from wild animal foods?....really? I've had wild strawberries and they are super sweet. If we are designed to eat raw wild food how does boiling a mushroom elixir play into our evolution? I agree with the wild food premise.
He's a great speaker but a lot of holes. Yeah the hybridized fruits are not ideal but they are still packed with nutrients. People on a calorie restrictive diet of low cal density food live much longer.
ur not going to get sugar "spikes" because of fiber. No long living cultures live on mostly animal food. I would like to know what his diet looks like...
This isn't really a justifiable argument but most people can't get these foods. If all these things are bad for us where do people get cals?
Sorry but natural? Sugar is our NATURAL source of energy. We don't use fats...we convert them, to glucose. a sugar. Yes simple sugars are bad when you're doing nothing, but I'm sure our ancestors weren't "jogging" to get their prey (anything above a light-mild jog will burn glucose, fat takes too long to convert)...It's not an ultimatum...Fat's good for long slow exercises (ie. day to day), glucose is good for exercising above say 70% or something like that.
I think on the contrary i did the opposite...I said it's not an ultimatum. point is, we need sugar and fats, and protein as well...mostly carbs, fats 2nd and protein least amount. It seemed Daniel was trying to say fats are better than sugars, which in some cases could be true. But point is, you need both, and glucose is how we make energy, so call it whatever you want, we run on sugar.
This is an interesting idea, although it would be difficult to verify it scientifically. Daniel, you present this problem but offer very little solutions. What do you recommend the average person do for there diets if they can't go shopping at a fruit market where they live? For people in the city it seems unrealistic to go out in the wilderness every day or so to pick a few wild berries. Even if they could, didn't you say that there is so little left "original" fruit out there? How then is som
The hunting and gathering years are very short compared to the three hundred thousand years homo sapiens have been here. We share 95-98% of our DNA with gorillas and they eat a totally plant based diet. Indigenous cultures were obviously more connected to nature than we are today, however I don't think they had it all worked out; tribal wars sound pretty destructive and unconscious to me.
@wonderfulvibe Gorillas have been here for millions of years. The earliest human found is roughly 3 million years old. Humans eating meat is much older than 300,000 years. It probably occurred around the 2,000,000 range when our brains truly started developing. It wasn't necessarily the a doomsday event you seem to think it was. Life feeds on life. That doesnt have to be such a negative.
I agree, he has excellent insight for those who are ready. I always encourage clients to remove any fruits that are not wild from their diets and if you are using the right green powder and fresh organic coconut water as a base you don't need banana to sweeten a smoothie.
@durianriders I am not sure what you are referring to, however we don't "sell" anything...I suggest to clients what I think will help them the most, and it is rarely , if ever, cacao.
I understand what daniel is saying regarding fruit sugar and the excess of it and all the anthropological stuff, but I saw you (daniel) use a serious futuristic machine in your beautiful kitchen making elixir and that doesn't seem like something hunter gatherers did. hmmm. hope you don't mind my pointing that our. MATT, i am glad your figs passed the test...lol...I can't find any of the ancient fruits and veggies where I live, but I appreciate the information you guys bring including Daniel's.:)
Isnt the most important point about fruit is that its a different source of carbs than grains which are more "toxic" to the body? And if youre training for heavy sports, and consume a lot calories, who cares what you were ment to be, as long as youre healthy and vibrant, who cares if fruit isnt what it was 3 million years ago?
@MarmaladeMonster great response.... plants and animals are always involved in the evolutionary process. just like all the different nationalities of people, we are changing...
@MarmaladeMonster Evolution doesnt nesscarily have to be an "untouched" process... If a stronger smarter animal comes and changes an ecology, is it not evolution? Humans are doign the same. Humans arent that smart tho and we'll get wiped out if we keep using chemicals.. SO, we're still evolving, the raw veganism will last longer then SAD americans ;) evolution at its best.
@MarmaladeMonster Humans changing fruits and vegetables is a process of of advanced evolution, and in real science, good or bad isnt a proper word to use to describe something... BUT to answer your question, as a human with taste buds and feelings, I enjoy my fruits and vegetables being the way they are, so I say GOOD!! haha.
if more sugar is bred in, kids who love gummi worms will soon join the fun!
in all seriousness i agree that our tampering with things is natural, exclusively by definition that it is happening....it's our responsibility to react intelligently to this development, and this reaction will ultimately test our true "advancement" that many people claim as our birthright
The Spike in Bloodsugar only occurs, if your insulin receptors are shrouded in fat. Thats why people who eat a high-fat diet feel uncomfortable when eating fruit and thats why they are convinced that it is wrong.
If you want to heal, stay away from a high fat diet. Carbohydrates open up the Cells and literally lets fresh air in and out. For healing you need an oxygen-rich environment. You want to be dependent on Colon-Hydro? eat high fat and add some superfoods too! - If you ask me.
Sure, by Daniel's opinion, people were designed to go around and kill animals.
Daniel is a person who was hybrodised by meat loving gererations. He is far away from Adam and Eve like a dog from a wolf. We should look at what people ate at the garden of Eden: they were breatherians in reality.
@Natalyaandall The garden of Eden is a reality? Wow, this is breaking news! Why aren't more people talking about this? Oh yeah... because it's not a reality.
@Natalyaandall Well you can hope you can end up in a place like this but without any evidence of it existence it's not something you can talk about as a fact. You could say, I'd like to go there if it exists. I could say I'd love to visit Atlantis, but we don't know if it exists or not, so I should really say, I'd like to go visit Atlantis IF it exists.
According to the "legend" it was something that was here on Earth, no? So how exactly are people going to join this community someday?
@SecretsOfLongevity There are evidences of it's existence. You sound like a person who knows about the world only by 2 dimentional geographic map. Life and history of it has more dimentions then people know. I know , for example, the person who was blind from her birth, but could see more then people with regular vision can observe. She could see. being in Moscow on her bed, Italian sceneries , streets and tell architects how to draw blueprints of the historical buildings. Read The Bible.
@Natalyaandall Show me the evidence. The bible is chock full of made up B.S. (belief systems) that has NOT been validated by any historians of the time periods described by some of the events.
"You sound like a person who knows about the world only by 2 dimentional geographic map." what?!?!
In regards to the blind person, that's an interesting story, but not connected to what we're discussing at all.
@SecretsOfLongevity That blind person was an Russian Orthodox Christian and lived by The Bible, she believed in Christ. I do not even know which historians do you mean. Even shroud of Turin is the real evidence and many other things. You need to talk to God about that personally and He will show the evidences (who is looking is finding). There are miracles happening which proves Biblical stories.
@Natalyaandall There are plenty of blind people and non-blind people who believe in various religions, again that has nonthing to do with the topic of the garden of Eden.
In regard to historians, you don't know which ones I mean because THERE ARE NONE!!! No written historical work has validated anything from that time period asides from the bible (which has been written and translated so many times by various people and subjected to so much change it is not a worthy source of evidence).
@SecretsOfLongevity Then you need to learn Old Greel Language to read The New Testament in Original Version and Arameic to read The Old Testament, because The Bible is a written historic work(read Orthodox version of it). Blind person believed in what is written in The Bible and believed in the existence of Garden of Eden. The whole Bible is about story of Garden of Eden. Shroud of Turin was studied by scientists, it's not folklore. Old Garden of Eden was located app. in area of Iraq territory.
I'm not going to rant on who's right or wrong. Maybe hunter gatherer is right.Maybe fruitarian is also right. why can't there be more than one answer. I've ate meat all my life. My parents would only buy fresh meat from a local farmer.Everything was organic, grass fed, free range etc.Since we live by the ocean, fish was also fresh.I ate a balanced diet according to the food pyramid. Since switching to raw foods& fruits, I have never felt so good in all the 23 yrs of eating meat.I'm healthier now

The only thing I don't agree with here is the part around 12:50 with pesticides. The reason we have to put pesticides/herbicides/fingicides on things is that natural doesn't abide by the laws of man. They are trying to survive, eat and reproduce like all living and creatures. Insects/fungi/weeds will grow irregardless of how and where you grow foods because they are living off the same foods that we do. The natural world is a battlefield of survival.

Anthropology & studies done in the first half of the 1900s show these things.

@concordguitarlessons this is pure unadulterated bullshit. Were there many breeds of wolf? Like some that looked like dobermans? And the German Shepherd is a very young breed, 'perfected at the turn of the 20th century'. Here's a q for u hunter gatherers, what did the human eat before he developed killing tools? It sure wasn't animals because he was neither fast enough or strong enough to catch them. He didn't have claws to hold them nor fangs to pierce their hides. Addiction causes delusions.

lol,i bet durian rider has more stamina because he runs frequently.daniel vitalis therefor has more strength.I'm not saying you have to eat only meat because thats unhealthy too.
but a good mix from raw vegetables and fruits,cooked vegetables,high quality fats and oils,and some (good quality) meat or fish and eggs.
trust me.people who live only from fruits will develop serious deficiencys in the long run.

partyboylacrosseb520 3 months ago
So my question is why are you referencing to wild wolves or even domesticated dogs for that matter? Maybe it would be more realsitic to compare us to a species thats more relative to our evolutionary construct. Also, you can't aruge the fact that all the saturated fats coming from meat are clogging up the blood vessels to fuel the heart and cappilaries feeding our brain. Our brain functions off of glucose, natures primary ingredient, which is found in fruit.

Daniel, I don't understand why you refer to the diet of wild dogs/wolves or domesticated dogs in comparison to the human diet. We are completely different beasts anatomically, physically, and emotionally (young children could not kill an animal without feeling suffering himself). Wolves are born hunters with enhanced night vision, sharp teeth for ripping through thick layers of fur,skin meat and bone, long GI tracts for quick elimination of putrifying, decomposing flesh.
partyboylacrosseb520 3 months ago
My problem with paleo is that if everyone did it, the world would be completely fucked. The environment cannot support 7 billion people eating grass fed meat. Then there's the vast amount of evidence supporting high carb plant based diets, and the incredible increase in efficiency of production. See PCRM.

Our ancestry can be traced back approximately 65 million years; nearly all of which was spent in the TROPICS.

To say we are not supposed to eat so much fruit is rather comical, actually, especially coming from someone pushing elk and cattle extracts! Animals that DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE TROPICS!

@BradleyWillTV I understand that but there's nothing really wrong with hybrid fruits, they may have been bred selectively to make them sweeter but that's not a bad thing, .

Seedless fruits also occur naturally from time to time and have been selected that way, it's not like they've been genetically modified which i'm dead against....

You missed the point and you seem a little upset. Doesn't matter, fats are more important because they are easily converted to sugar. Protein is important as well. Carbs are not god and are surely not number one when it comes to nutritional priority. Still following? Good. Energy is obtained from carbs OR fats. "Ketosis is caused when the body metabolizes body fat for energy purposes, instead of the usual glucose-from-carbohydrates." As in superior. Doesn't work both ways....

@AuralRawFoodist
I'm not upset, and don't patronize me. I know what ketosis is. I also know it's very taxing on your liver and kidneys. It releases ketones and nitrogen into your blood stream, and they have to be excreted by your body. It's not "easy" as you said. Glucose is the primary fuel used by your body. Glucose is a sugar. Our bodies run on sugar. You can either get glucose in your diet, or you can add in a middle man for some reason, and have your fats/proteins converted INTO glucose...

I eat a low carb, high protien diet and I know exactly what he means about the energy that you get from fat especially from MCTs. The energy is more stable than with carbs and longer lasting. One thing to remember with most whole grains is that they are from a grass which has protections that don't jive with our bodies. They are a great filler and they last through the cold winters but grains are not a natural food source. Grasses do not depend on animals to spread their seeds.

A hi fruit, low fat diet for me got rid of fatigue, ibs and depression. I feel great when I stick to fruit and easy to digest greens and salads. When I slip up though and eat raw high fat foods the ibs and fatigue come back. This doesn't happen if I eat low fat cooked foods, although they make me put on weight.

The piece of paper on a fire analogy is not relevant for someone who hasn't degraded their digestive system w/high fat/protein/cholesterol and cooked food, etc. The paper doesn't blow up in a flash so to speak.

1836 A.D.
The yellow sweet banana is a mutant strain of the green and red cooking bananas, discovered in 1836 by Jamaican Jean Francois Poujot. He found that in his plantations, one plant was bearing yellow fruits rather than red or green. Upon tasting the new discovery, he found it to be sweet in its raw state, without the need for cooking. He quickly began cultivating this sweet variety.
Doesn't sound like mad science to me? Seeds arent needed for propagation as new shoots grow from the corm.

1502 A.D. According to Spanish history, Friar Tomas de Berlanga brought the first banana root stocks to the Western Hemisphere. A Chinese variety was sent to England, where it was named "Cavendish" after the Duke of Devonshire's family. This variety and its sub-groups account for much of the commercial banana cultivation. Even though several other varieties are now cultivated for commercial purpose, they only account for about 20 of 300 different species.

Interesting place for an indigenous food conversation - a parking garage. lol As far as whether sugars, carbs, fat, etc... are best for us, I think we need to look at what's best for the individual. As a culture we are a melting pot of peoples from all over the globe. Northern Euros can mostly consume dairy and do well whereas many Asians cannot.
As a race, we have evolved. For example, milk products are not part of the hunter gatherer diet. Now, many can thrive using them.

Sorry but natural? Sugar is our NATURAL source of energy. We don't use fats...we convert them, to glucose. a sugar. Yes simple sugars are bad when you're doing nothing, but I'm sure our ancestors weren't "jogging" to get their prey (anything above a light-mild jog will burn glucose, fat takes too long to convert)...It's not an ultimatum...Fat's good for long slow exercises (ie. day to day), glucose is good for exercising above say 70% or something like that.

@wonderfulvibe Gorillas have been here for millions of years. The earliest human found is roughly 3 million years old. Humans eating meat is much older than 300,000 years. It probably occurred around the 2,000,000 range when our brains truly started developing. It wasn't necessarily the a doomsday event you seem to think it was. Life feeds on life. That doesnt have to be such a negative.

I agree, he has excellent insight for those who are ready. I always encourage clients to remove any fruits that are not wild from their diets and if you are using the right green powder and fresh organic coconut water as a base you don't need banana to sweeten a smoothie.

@thejuicynaam your clients must struggle with fatigue. I guess thats what maca and crackao sales are for. ;)

@durianriders I am not sure what you are referring to, however we don't "sell" anything...I suggest to clients what I think will help them the most, and it is rarely , if ever, cacao.

I understand what daniel is saying regarding fruit sugar and the excess of it and all the anthropological stuff, but I saw you (daniel) use a serious futuristic machine in your beautiful kitchen making elixir and that doesn't seem like something hunter gatherers did. hmmm. hope you don't mind my pointing that our. MATT, i am glad your figs passed the test...lol...I can't find any of the ancient fruits and veggies where I live, but I appreciate the information you guys bring including Daniel's.:)

Isnt the most important point about fruit is that its a different source of carbs than grains which are more "toxic" to the body? And if youre training for heavy sports, and consume a lot calories, who cares what you were ment to be, as long as youre healthy and vibrant, who cares if fruit isnt what it was 3 million years ago?

Keep in mind that evolution is a natural process, and plants will be always changing,
but humans shouldnt touch this balance.
It's best to buy organic, local, heirloom fruits. Thos are good, GMO, inorganic fruits coming from the other side of the world aren;t..
However, I love bananas, and I'm nto ready to give them up just yet :(

@MarmaladeMonster great response.... plants and animals are always involved in the evolutionary process. just like all the different nationalities of people, we are changing...
RawFoodVeganSungazer 1 year ago
@MarmaladeMonster Evolution doesnt nesscarily have to be an "untouched" process... If a stronger smarter animal comes and changes an ecology, is it not evolution? Humans are doign the same. Humans arent that smart tho and we'll get wiped out if we keep using chemicals.. SO, we're still evolving, the raw veganism will last longer then SAD americans ;) evolution at its best.

The last part was very hopeful- raw vegans will live on and grow :)
But I'm a little confused...are you saying it's good that humans have used evolution to change fruits and veggies? just curious :)
MarmaladeMonster 1 year ago
@MarmaladeMonster Humans changing fruits and vegetables is a process of of advanced evolution, and in real science, good or bad isnt a proper word to use to describe something... BUT to answer your question, as a human with taste buds and feelings, I enjoy my fruits and vegetables being the way they are, so I say GOOD!! haha.

if more sugar is bred in, kids who love gummi worms will soon join the fun!
in all seriousness i agree that our tampering with things is natural, exclusively by definition that it is happening....it's our responsibility to react intelligently to this development, and this reaction will ultimately test our true "advancement" that many people claim as our birthright

Daniel makes a lot of good points. Living off of fruits and foods that are in season is what man evolved around.

The Spike in Bloodsugar only occurs, if your insulin receptors are shrouded in fat. Thats why people who eat a high-fat diet feel uncomfortable when eating fruit and thats why they are convinced that it is wrong.
If you want to heal, stay away from a high fat diet. Carbohydrates open up the Cells and literally lets fresh air in and out. For healing you need an oxygen-rich environment. You want to be dependent on Colon-Hydro? eat high fat and add some superfoods too! - If you ask me.

Sure, by Daniel's opinion, people were designed to go around and kill animals.
Daniel is a person who was hybrodised by meat loving gererations. He is far away from Adam and Eve like a dog from a wolf. We should look at what people ate at the garden of Eden: they were breatherians in reality.

@Natalyaandall The garden of Eden is a reality? Wow, this is breaking news! Why aren't more people talking about this? Oh yeah... because it's not a reality.

@SecretsOfLongevity Garden of Eden is a reality for those who plan to join that Community.
Natalyaandall 1 year ago
@Natalyaandall Well you can hope you can end up in a place like this but without any evidence of it existence it's not something you can talk about as a fact. You could say, I'd like to go there if it exists. I could say I'd love to visit Atlantis, but we don't know if it exists or not, so I should really say, I'd like to go visit Atlantis IF it exists.
According to the "legend" it was something that was here on Earth, no? So how exactly are people going to join this community someday?
SecretsOfLongevity 1 year ago
@SecretsOfLongevity There are evidences of it's existence. You sound like a person who knows about the world only by 2 dimentional geographic map. Life and history of it has more dimentions then people know. I know , for example, the person who was blind from her birth, but could see more then people with regular vision can observe. She could see. being in Moscow on her bed, Italian sceneries , streets and tell architects how to draw blueprints of the historical buildings. Read The Bible.
Natalyaandall 1 year ago
@Natalyaandall Show me the evidence. The bible is chock full of made up B.S. (belief systems) that has NOT been validated by any historians of the time periods described by some of the events.
"You sound like a person who knows about the world only by 2 dimentional geographic map." what?!?!
In regards to the blind person, that's an interesting story, but not connected to what we're discussing at all.
SecretsOfLongevity 1 year ago
@SecretsOfLongevity That blind person was an Russian Orthodox Christian and lived by The Bible, she believed in Christ. I do not even know which historians do you mean. Even shroud of Turin is the real evidence and many other things. You need to talk to God about that personally and He will show the evidences (who is looking is finding). There are miracles happening which proves Biblical stories.
Natalyaandall 1 year ago
@Natalyaandall There are plenty of blind people and non-blind people who believe in various religions, again that has nonthing to do with the topic of the garden of Eden.
In regard to historians, you don't know which ones I mean because THERE ARE NONE!!! No written historical work has validated anything from that time period asides from the bible (which has been written and translated so many times by various people and subjected to so much change it is not a worthy source of evidence).
SecretsOfLongevity 1 year ago
@SecretsOfLongevity Then you need to learn Old Greel Language to read The New Testament in Original Version and Arameic to read The Old Testament, because The Bible is a written historic work(read Orthodox version of it). Blind person believed in what is written in The Bible and believed in the existence of Garden of Eden. The whole Bible is about story of Garden of Eden. Shroud of Turin was studied by scientists, it's not folklore. Old Garden of Eden was located app. in area of Iraq territory.
