They may not have had much need for wheels, or shaving, or most forms of communication, but our neanderthal relatives sure knew how to eat healthy, when they weren’t poisoning themselves learning what not to eat :

Our early ancestors lived on a diet lacking in cereals, dairy products and refined sugar for centuries before farming developed and some scientists believe that the human body is still best suited to this kind of food.

Volunteers in the trial, run by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, were allowed to eat only foods from a prescribed list, which included fresh or frozen fruit, berries or vegetables, lean meat, unsalted fish, canned tomatoes, lemon or lime juice, spices and coffee or tea without milk or sugar, for three weeks.

All dairy products were banned as well as beans, salt, peanuts, pasta or rice, sausages, alcohol, sugar and fruit juice.

After three weeks, the 14 volunteers who completed the study had lost an average of five pounds…
Scientists found that volunteers who ate the stone age fare for just three weeks had lowered blood pressure and a reduced risk of clots.

It’d be interesting to know what health professionals in the future make of our age of highly processed, sugar and salt rich foods. We’ll probably come up trumps with some of the worst and most physically destructive eating habits in the entire history of man.

They won’t understand in the future, of course. We will be mocked. But they’ll have no idea, no comprehension, of how utterly fantastic so much of the food we’re told is bad actually tastes.
