Awesome timing, as I was just trying to explain to a raw, vegan patient (with some serious chronic health issues) that her gut is just not able to absorb the nutrients from her diet. A little bone-broth soup would do her SO good... Wrangham explains that even after we started eating meat, raw food just didnt pack the energy to build the big-brained, small-toothed modern human. He cites research that showed that people on a raw food diet, including meat and oil, lost a lot of weight. Many said they felt better, but also experienced chronic energy deficiency. And half the women in the experiment stopped menstruating.
