Re: Diet and Evolution
Our diet nowadays is deficient in essential nutrients. This does not
imply that the diet of prehistoric humans was deficient. There is
already enough debate on how junk food is not good for us, this is why.
It just does not provide many of the essential components of our diet.
So the fact that some people may require supplments tody only indicates
that their diet is not capable of providing essential nutrients, not as
you suggest any discrepency in evolution.
