In order to obtain a profound answer to the question of what is a healthy diet, people should consider the results of animal testing, observational studies on humans, nutritional experiments as well as successful historical traditions.

Archeological studies impressively show that our ancestors who lived more than 10,000 years ago hardly showed any signs of caries, tooth displacements and other widespread ailments. The beginning of settlements and cultivations about 6,000–10,000 years ago and the increasing consumption of new food, like grain and milk products, went hand in hand with the first development of signs of arteriosclerosis and joint damage. But there was still no sign of cancer 5,000 years ago. (This was published in the American scientific journal Nature Reviews Cancer.) Why is that the case?

Countless scientific nutritional experiments on animals in the past 100 years draw a consistent picture:

When animals (regardless of their species) are given human food that is part of the typical “Western diet” they soon begin to develop the same diseases we “civilized” humans suffer from. For example, arteriosclerosis, cancer, myocardial infarction, high blood pressure, gall and kidney stones, joint degeneration, tooth decay, obesity, osteoporosis, neurodegeneration, diabetes, … This also includes afflictions that arise in the next generation: tooth displacement, narrow pelvic bones (lead to complicated births with females) or a nasal cavity that is too narrow (leads to reduced nose breathing) as well as behavioral disorders, retarded development, excessive aggressiveness or apathy. In an experiment carried out by Dr. Francis Marion animals required 100% natural food for three generations for all these damages to be reversed.⁷
