TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the 13 known quantitative dietary studies of hunter-gathers and demonstrated that animal food actually provided the dominant energy source, while gathered plant foods comprised the remainder (35%).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that animal food actually provided the dominant energy source, while gathered plant foods comprised the remainder, which is consistent with a more recent, comprehensive review of the entire ethnographic data that showed the mean subsistence dependence upon gathered plant Foods was 32%, whereas it was 68% for animal foods.

TL;DR: A critical role for the quantity and quality of dietary carbohydrate in the pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is postulated and it is proposed that the low-carbohydrate carnivorous diet would have disadvantaged reproduction in insulin-sensitive individuals and positively selected for individuals with insulin resistance.

TL;DR: Total carbohydrate content appears to have been a stronger determinant of short-term satiety, in conjunction with the foods structural characteristics, than the foods glycaemic impact, consistent with previous findings that carbohydrate-rich Foods are more satiating than fat-rich foods.

TL;DR: Comparing the sialic acid content of saliva collected from full term infants who were either solely breast fed or formula fed until weaning at 3–5 months of age provides a preliminary indication that an exogenous source of sIALic acids derived from human milk may contribute to higher concentrations of sialsic acid in body fluids.
