Irene.

Thanks for the links!

I have trouble reading the last one, because I just can't make sense of long scientific articles.  They make me feel lost and put me to sleep.  But I get the gist, that if there's any evolutionary advantage to the different blood antigens or lack thereof, it has to do with resistance to disease, not diet.  And, like one of the other articles points out, agriculture is too recent a development, even if we consider it as having started at the earliest possible date, to have had any noticeable effect on human evolution.

Puts it into perspective how long evolution really takes.

 Actually, his cause of death is undetermined: http://www.snopes.com/medical/doctor/atkins.asp

Dr. Atkins was obese at the time of his death, and has had previous congestive heart failure and hypertension.

It hard to lose weight in this world, unless you have the knowledge of your environment. It all about mass production, money. so people is gonna go out their way to get money, even though if it effect others. Like for an example. FDA approved Growth hormones in cattles and that's causing rapid growth and obesity in people. and putting yeast in our foods that causes our body to blow up even more, that's why we can't consume sugar like we want to is because yeast feeds off of sugar. Bad cooking oils causes poor health and the good and natural oils like extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, palm oil, and etc.. are so expensive. Pork,shellfish,and catfish is an unclean meat. it full of toxins so that our bodies doesn't work and developed at it best.

 You really doesn't need will-power. all you need is brain-power to lose weight.
