Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Eskimo typically do not get cancer and heart disease but eat a mostly animal based diet. Does this conflict with some of the information in The China Study? Wondering if anyone has any feedback as I am trying to support my new way of eating to my family and friends....I have been trying to do some research online but I am not getting anywhere. Anyone study this issue and have facts? Thanks, Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The Eskimo thing is really quite interesting. Dr. Maynard Murray did some thirty years of research on why animals and fish that live in the sea have a much smaller percentage of cancer and circulatory problems than animals and fish that live in fresh water. His conclusion was that the minerals and specifically the 90 trace minerals in the sea are critical for health. About a quarter of our blood is the same consistency as sea water. Life has been said to be in the blood and when those minerals decrease the power of our blood weakens as well. Eskimos have a probably the highest diet in fish and animals that come from the sea of anyone. Secondly Eskimo's in times past have consistently had what I would call a boom and bust economy. Six months a year they may have plenty and the other have very little. That type of lifestyle keeps the immune system in our bodies on constant alert to fight disease. In our affluent society today, want is something that is not even considered, so our immune system gets lazy and ignores arthritis and other diseases. That is one reason why fasting can be good for us and that is supported by the caloric restriction focus today that can prolong lifespan. So meat eating can be okay if you starve yourself part time but ocean fish is a better option that animal meat.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Katt, That is so funny you are mentioning the China Study. A friend of mine and I were discussing it last week. I've also wanted to study it, but haven't gotten very far. If you find any reliable resources, I would love to know about it! My friend was listening to it on tape. ?? Not sure if that helps..

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi, I'm new here. I've been a vegetarian for more than 15 years (vegan for about 3 of those 15 years) and I'm starting to move towards raw foodism. I'm the mother of one, and step-mother of two. My husband is an omnivore but he eats whatever I make for him, be that raw, vegetarian, or vegan. I'm a tree-hugging-dirt-worshipping Canadian living outside our nation's capital, in farm country. I'd like to point something out, that perhaps is not widely known about the Inuit (Eskimo) peoples. The animals and fish that are consumed by the Inuit peoples have traditionally been eaten raw. With the influence of Europeans, this has changed. However, there are still communities that hold true to the traditions of eating raw. Their beliefs follow the same principles of the raw vegan community; the raw, in this case animal/fish, is the most nutritious. Keeping in mind that they doen't have access to much in the way of vegetation... other than if it's flown in (for the most part). I'm not trying to start a debate. These are not my beliefs, although I respect them. I'm only trying to provide additional information.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 That makes since, perhaps it is the fasting that keeps them healthy until they die at 40. Pure fish, pure water and pure air can't hurt as well... Kat rawfood , " Dale Bolton " <dalebolton wrote: > > The Eskimo thing is really quite interesting.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Melissa, I have been reading the book. Frankly it has not been an easy read for me. I find the research so fascinating and can not help mentioning to my husband who is open but skeptical and always wants FACTS. This is good because it keeps me motivated to study.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 It doesn't seem to me that those tests could be useful until they also tested ALL the pollutants in the lakes and then the oceans - then also those in the fish. I know there are a couple of lakes in Upper Michigan that are still quite pure but not many. It is a fight to keep them to just row boats and kayaks.
