Despite meat-heavy diet, indigenous tribe has world’s healthiest hearts — but why?

They have higher systemic inflammation but lower levels of chronic heart disease, an 80 year old Tsimane has the same heart arteries as a 50 year old American.

much fo this may be due to genetic isolation combined with natural section for a people who eat lots of meat

@SatyrService Yeah that's true but there's carnivore dieters who are also seemingly very healthy who also eat raw liver and meat sometimes. So it makes me think that something is there at least. I would be curious to compare dietary statistics to carnivore dieters who eat roughly the same as these tribes, what the numbers are. If they have higher inflammation but no heart disease. You are right that it could be genetics but that doesn't explain other things.
@SatanBurger There is quite a lot of data on this. For instance look at those people who can’t comfortably consume and process milk products. Like Mongols, or there’s a tribe in Africa as well. For whom this seems not to be a problem. And yet within a single family you can have people who processed meat very well, and others not so much. But that is probably the result of genetic Blending.
It is the isolated tribes, that help us understand how this happens over longer times.

@SatyrService I dunno I have lactose intolerance and found that by cutting out grains I could magically have full fat dairy so there's other factors. And I was diagnosed as a baby.
@SatanBurger Yes, sometimes it is not a particular ingredient. But a particular gradient associated with others. That is very interesting what you told me about cutting out grain.
