Ancient dietary practices based on analyzing the fiber content of fossilized human waste can give us insights for combatting the modern obesity epidemic.

All along I was thinking of fiber more from just an energy density perspective (as in my video Eating More to Weigh Less http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-more-to-weigh-less/), but the appetite-suppressing hormones are a whole new frontier. That underscores the urgency of the fact that 96% of Americans don’t even reach the recommended minimum intake of fiber (see my video Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-vegetarians-get-enough-protein/). Other paleo videos include: • Paleo Diets May Negate Benefits of Exercise (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleo-diets-may-negate-benefits-of-exercise/) • Paleolithic Lessons (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleolithic-lessons/) • The Problem With the Paleo Diet Argument (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-problem-with-the-paleo-diet-argument/) For bowel function in the modern age, see, for example, How Many Bowel Movements Should You Have Every Day? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-bowel-movements-should-you-have-every-day) and Should You Sit, Squat, or Lean During a Bowel Movement?

Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: A higher rate of cancer deaths among those that handle and process meat is attributed to infection with viruses and chronic exposure to animal proteins. See the last video Poultry Exposure Tied to Liver and Pancreatic Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-exposure-tied-to-liver-and-pancreatic-cancer) for the data on poultry exposure and cancer deaths. Though exposure to farm animals growing up might be associated with cancer risk, what about growing up with dogs and cats? See Pets & Human Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pets-human-lymphoma/) and Are Cats or Dogs More Protective for Children's Health? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-cats-or-dogs-more-protective-for-childrens-health/) You still probably shouldn't eat them, though (see Foodborne Rabies, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/foodborne-rabies/). For more on foodborne illnesses one can contract from fellow animals, see, for example: • Yersinia in Pork (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/yersinia-in-pork/) • Poultry and Paralysis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-and-paralysis/) • MRSA in U.S. Retail Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mrsa-in-u-s-retail-meat/) • Amnesic Seafood Poisoning (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amnesic-seafood-poisoning/) • Avoiding Chicken to Avoid Bladder Infections (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-chicken-to-avoid-bladder-infections/) • Food Poisoning Bacteria Cross-Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-poisoning-bacteria-cross-contamination/) • Salmonella in Chicken & Turkey: Deadly but Not Illegal (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/salmonella-in-chicken-turkey-deadly-but-not-illegal/) Probably the strangest example of this whole concept is the Neu5Gc story.
