After an odyssee from being vegetarian to vegan to raw vegan to Paleo to - "normal" (?) eating (which by the way is quite a typical "food career" from what you can read on the internet, like here or here), I was wondering if there is a thing called universal diet at all? Or do we all have different needs? Is it genetically programmed what we thrive on?
I found this interesting article:
http://www.evidencebasedcryonics.org/2012/07/25/apoe4-diet-and-gender/
But it is just saying, that if you know your genes which could make you more prone to certain diseases, then you could know how to eat to avoid it. Which is, taken from the article above: low fat plus exercise. It is rather that people with a certain gene can get away with eating high (saturated) fat and other don't.
In general, it makes sense to me, that different genes can demand different foods or rather: can get away with different food sins.
