I remember watching a video where a doctor was lecturing that babies born vaginally grow up to be healthier than babies born c-section because on the way down the birth canal the baby pics up many microbes that will become part of the babies system whereas those taken via c-section never get these microbes from day 1.
I think other chemical ‘factors’ or substances are added to the chyme as it passes through a healthy gut making it more beneficial. Have a look at the video I linked.
We are physiologically well equipped to smash up meat into it’s usable constituent parts (amino acids) with our endogenous proteases from pancreatic juice. On the other hand, dealing with the cellulose found in plant cell walls is more problematic for humans. Ruminants, for example, have several stomachs and a finger-like pouch in which reside cellulose digesting bacteria (the appendix) and much longer guts to allow the time for them to do their work. Carnivores have a much shorter gut with a rich pancreatic juice and a vestigial appendix. We omnivores are somewhere in between the two.
I just remember reading an article about folks who don’t eat red meat, and the fact that if they eat it, it is disturbing to their gut, because they lack the microbes that assist in its digestion. Now that I think about it, I think the gist of it was that this was true either especially or only of red meat.
My wife has never eaten a bite of meat, I wonder what would happen to someone like that? She doesn’t eat dairy because it upsets her GI but when we were in Italy she ate cheese with real gusto for about three or four days before she spent an entire day indoors paying for her indiscretions.
I don’t think we need gut microbes to digest meat since we produce all the enzymes required to deal with it.
I’m a life long veggie but I ate ramen in Japan once and after a couple of mouthfuls realise the broth was of animal origin. Later that day, I had ‘the squirts’
I thought think the invention of pong is what stifled our intellectual development. At least, that’s what someone said on Reddit.
The body gets very specific. It will try to adapt to the changes If the stomach isn't used to it then it will take some time to adapt to it.I’m a life long veggie but I ate ramen in Japan once and after a couple of mouthfuls realise the broth was of animal origin.

I concluded that although I have the genes that allow the expression of the glands that produce meat specific proteases etc, maybe the glands themselves are dormant and would require repeated exposure to the presence of meat on my GI tract to get those juices flowing. Pure speculation, though….
Ha ha ha. Yeah I can agree with that on all levels. But that's a good thing.I think your body is a lot smarter than you, JowGaWolf
So if we cook and eat him we gain his powers ? He might be a little chewy at his age, I reckon we need a long simmer. Maybe sear him to lock in the juices, that’s @Steve favorite method for steaks.I think your body is a lot smarter than you, JowGaWolf
I wonder what an intelligent body looks like
No, we have to make him radioactive first and then ask him to bite us.
Nah you'll just get a bad case of gas lol
No specific look.I wonder what an intelligent body looks like
Probably not (pre-Ozempic) Jonah Hill and more Hugh Jackman.
I’ve never understood the obsession with ice cream. I have a couple of scoops in the summer but it generally leaves me cold (
).I think it’s pretty stupid then, because it lets you ingest it, run amok and making ones bowel leaky and then ejects it in it’s liquid phase. A smart body would stop you eating it.
‘Kokoro wa karada desu’…. mind is body [body is mind].
Is it? It punishes me for eating it. Then it puts it in a form that allows it to quickly get rid of it. Even if the mind says "just wait" it will only wait for a few minutes after the initial warnings lol, then it's either the toilet or your pants. Which is why I only eat it at home. Guess which toilet is not a fun road game. I never want it to be the gas station lol.
