This new paradigm, where can I find more about, or is it popular on this form lately ?
Two years ago I knew nothing about health, I've studied many theories and Ray peat was the best for me but I also have studied evolution and evolution of diet in human evolution. My conclusion is that the species specific diet of first humans or even first homo species were based on starchy roots cooked on fire directly and or in water later on with tubers raw for water and hydration like carrots or other. Potatoes and some carrots are the perfect food for humans.
There are foods that are not the initial foods of first humans that are better than the species specific good in moderate quantities (milk, fruit) and some are worse (pufa).
For me humans are designed to eat starchy foods mostly (I do agree sugar is better if you can have it but we have so much facility to process starchy foods compared to animals, i do agree starchy foods are very bad to most mammals excepting birds as pufa are for humans but not for fish).
The reason we are a starchy tubers eating species at the beginning is that the anatomy of humans, standing and walking to find this rate tubers in the Savannah, the hands are perfectly made to extract the roots using the power of the strong legs, the brain is big on other to remember what kind of plant has what kind of root and how to know if the roots are big looking at the plant, this is why the brain developed and starchy tubers do provide glucose for brain activity.
There were this monkey standing before first homo, they were small brain like apes and had a jar like apes. They invented the fire right before the first homo with big brain appeared, because of cooked starchy roots.
I do belove after agriculture was invented most territories on Earth excepting America's, people ate the tubers up to Extinction because good supply regulated population growth but when grains provided the base instead of roots, people just consumed all the good starchy roots because they were not easy to cultivate excepting carrots that are not so great. The population boom caused the disappearance of the previous staple except in Africa, some parts of Asia and America's where you can still find some starchy tubers.
Regarding salt, I think all animals use rock as salt supplementation, it can be considered as a food since in early times if was more easy to find, but it does not mean the people then used as much salt as Ray suggests it could be just very small quantities to moderate at most and not all the time.
I will maybe explain more later, but I do believe peat is right on starch in general excepting we have adapted to tolerate it. peat is right about keto diets too, but for a cat it might not matter at all.
