One day, after her life was threatened, she escaped her captors. The colon is where our intestinal flora ferment plant fiber, producing fatty acids that are absorbed into the body and used for energy. September Profile books edition.

These conplex molecules are formed from a process that begins with the union of sugars and amino acids, particularly lysine. Perhaps because he is a primatologist, he draws frequent parallels between humans and animals throughout the book. Knife-making suggests planning, patience, cooperation, and organized behavior. Pollan and you know you won't get 1 or 2 stars on goodreads! Cooked food is also fige nicer to eat, easier to eat and tastes better. The spontaneous benefits of cooked food explain why domesticated pets easily become fat: Consider foie gras, the liver of French geese that have been cruelly force-fed to make them especially fat.
This book makes a very good case for eating real food and cooking your meats, eggs and vegetables.

Presumably this is because primates tend to live in groups where social intelligence can reap big rewards. Foragers, by contrast, cannot escape the tough times when sweet finits, honey, or game meat become no more than occasional luxuries rather than daily pleasures.

Rearing, slaughtering, preservation, and preparation methods all play their part. In our laboratory at Harvard, nutritional biochemist NancyLou Conklin-Brittain finds that carrots contain as much sugar as the average wild fruit eaten by a chimpanzee in Kibale National Park in Uganda.

It can generate indigestible molecules such as Maillard compounds, reducing the ricnard of sugar or amino acids available for digestion.
