Protein.
Calcium. Evolution. These are buzz words of nutrition. One needs protein for
energy and muscle growth. One needs calcium for bone and cartilage strength.
Evolution dictates diet. In a way, all of these statements are true. But they
are oversimplified statements, and they need to be studied and expounded upon
to produce any beneficial and reliable knowledge. For that purpose I will turn
the spotlight over to Professors Cordain and Campbell.
These
two men have very different approaches to nutrition. Professor Loren Cordain
champions the “paleo diet”: a way of eating that promotes the study evolutionary
biology in order to deduce the proper nutrition requirements from the history
told in the chemistry of fossils. Campbell subscribes to the vegan approach: an
all-natural, all-plant diet that he has been studying and advocating for well
over two decades.
“The
Protein Debate” http://www.catalystathletics.com/articles/downloads/proteinDebate.pdf
is a compilation of their arguments and rebuttals to each other’s views on diet
and nutrition.
This
marks the beginning of my week long blog report on the two very different and well
supported arguments concerning diet and the reasons as to why you should
subscribe to the vegan approach.
