[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 575607, member: 84"] Terry, that does make sense. Native Americans do not do well on the "European" diet which is starchy. We've had even less time for our bodies to adjust to the change. It's why we have a higher rate of diabetes per population. Heck, we have a higher rate of metabolic disorders in general per population. In my family alone we have the renal disease, which is metabolic based, diabetes, and both hyper / hypo thyroidism (which having both is rare). Tells you how much trouble we've had adjusting. I am not a bread person. I'm not much of a "starch" person. I'm a meat person. (which created conflict with that renal diet lol ) I'm not even a big "sweets" person. Although it seems that many native people I know have a really really bad sweet tooth......and that does not help. In going organic......I sort of drifted back to some extent to more the way my ancestors ate. Not all of the same foods, but quite a bit. If I could afford to buy buffalo, I'd stop eating beef completely........because to me that is heaven on earth and it's a naturally lean meat. Only thing I'm "bad" about is my pork. I'm a pork lover and I admit it. Now where that comes from I dunno, other than I was raised on it. My mother's side is German and Irish, documented as they didn't arrive here until the turn of the 20th century. My grandmother was a first born native citizen. Interesting about the Irish having issues with wheat. I wouldn't have thought that.......hmm. [/QUOTE]
