JOHN MCDOUGAL

I ATTENDED TO A LECTURE LAST WEEK. HE HAS WRITTEN 11 BOOKS AND MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS. HE HAS BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT 30 YEARS. HE SPEAKS ABOUT HOW ONE'S DIET CAN REVERSE DIABETES. WE EAT FOR CALORIES AND GET ENERGY FROM PROTIEN. CARBOHYDRATES ARE OUR PRIMARY SOURCES OF ENERGY. BEANS, PEAS, GRAINS, POTATOES HAVE LLOTS OF STORED ENERGY. FRUITS HAVE SIMPLE SUGAR. WE ARE DESIGNED AS STARCH SEEKERS.HE RECOMMENDS AN ALL POTATOE DIET FOR SOME PEOPLE TO LOOSE WEIGHT. IN THE ANDES THEY THRIVE ON FREEZE DRIED POTATOES. THE NEANDERTHAL 105,000 YEARS AGO ATE A STARCH BASED DIET. THE "ICE MAN" THEY FOUND ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WAS MOSTLY VEGAN, AS THEY STUDIED THE REMAINS IN HIS STOMACH. 20% OF OUR CALORIES POWER OUR BRAIN.
CHIMPANZEES PRIMARILY ATE FRUIT AND VEGIS. IT COSTS $3 DOLLARS PER DAY TO BE ON A VEGETARIAN DIET OF POTATOES OF 70% STARCH.
