Kematian Inuit dan Masai

Walaupun Inuit sekarang paling ramai mati kena stroke dan cancer paru paru, mereka sudah ubat makanan mereka. Dulu mereka tidak pernah kena kencing manis sampai sekarang pun. Mungkin rokok dan kurang exercise lah, tapi pemakan Carbo pun cepat mati kalau tidak exercise, tapi kena kencing manis lagi selain cancer.

"Abstract

This article proposes to describe mortality among the Inuit of the Baffin region during the 1983-1987 period and to compare it with that of Canadians as a whole. Mortality among the Baffin Inuit is clearly higher than that of the Canadian population as a whole. Life expectancy at birth is 66.6 years, approximately 10 years lower than that for the general Canadian population (76.3 years). Injuries and poisoning, neoplasms, and diseases of the respiratory system are the leading causes of death observed among the Baffin Inuit. For each of these causes, the rates obtained for the Inuit are significantly higher than those for the total population of Canada."

Bohong lah reviewer itu. Ditipu oleh article yang dia refer tapi tidak boleh dapat sudah.

Rupanya, Inuit sekarang pun tidak mati sakit jantung atau kencing manis, pada hal makan lemak binatang dan saturated  yang terlalu banyak. Buku itu betul lah.

Inuit mati oleh sakit paru paru, maklum lah di tempat sejuk.

Masai mati awal sebab land mine(bom), drowning, bakteria, dll. Patut lah sampai 45 tahun sahaja.

 Ini review untuk buku:

In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health.

For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner it must be because we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves—the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks—are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease?

In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma.

With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat—including saturated fat—is what leads to better health and wellness. Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can no

When The Truth Is Not The Truth

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014

I really wanted to believe this book, but I find glaring inconsistencies in Teicholz's presentation of facts to make her case. For example, the authors research of primitive peoples' exceptionally high fat diets and her report of how these diets produce lean healthy people free of obesity and heart disease seem to be very convincing. The Masai eat a diet of whole milk, beef, and blood and the Inuit Eskimos eat an 80% fat diet of caribou, salmon, and eggs, with vegetables being considered a "famine food." All of this is true, with both the Masai and the Inuit being lean. But Teicholz leaves out some crucial information in all of her investigative reporting. The Inuit have the shortest lifespans in all of Canada, and according to the BBC, the lifespan of the Masai rarely exceeds 60, with most Masai dying in their forties. This book is a disservice to sensible nutrition, and a danger to those who actually follow its advice.
I've decided to edit my review and include some more detailed information about how I reached my conclusions concerning this book:

Although reports of health and vitality of the Inuit and Masai abound, actual information on the reasons for their premature mortality are surprisingly not too easy to find. The following information comes from the Inuit people themselves and is a fact sheet about various concerns of the Inuit peoples:

https://www.itk.ca/sites/default/files/private/factsheet-seriesFINAL2.pdf
Lung cancer rates for Inuit men and women in Canada are the highest in the world and these rates are rising. (Circumpoloar Cancer Review)
The death rate from strokes is twice as high for men and women in Inuit communities than for all Canadians.
Women in Inuit communities have a COPD death rate that is 10 times that of other Canadian women.
Death rates for perinatal and congenital conditions are more than 2 times higher for those in Inuit communities.

The same is true for mortality information of the Masai peoples.
Questionnaires are sent into the interior of Tanzania and the Masai list their causes of death. This information comes from a doctoral thesis with the following citation:
Coast, Ernestina (2001). Maasai demography. Ph.D. Thesis. London : LSE Research Online.

The Masai list their cases of death as Land mine, Cattle raiding, Fever, Typhoid, Amoebic dysentery, Curse, Drowning, and Snake bite

More information about the Masai mortality can be found in a 2013 volume of the American Journal of Epidemiology. It sites a comprehensive study of the Masai by the Vanderbilt U School of Medicine...it is still considered relevant and a synopsis is listed below:
"Mann, G. V. (Vanderbilt Univ. School of Medicine, Nashville, Tenn. 37203), A. Spoerry, M. Gray, and D. Jarashow. Atherosclerosis in the Masai. Am J Epidemiol 95: 26-37, 1972.-The hearts and aortae of 50 Masai men were collected at autopsy. These pastoral people are exceptionally active and fit and they consume diets of milk and meat. The intake of animal fat exceeds that of American men. Measurements of the aorta showed extensive atherosclerosis with lipid infiltration and fibrous changes but very few complicated lesions. The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men. The Masai vessels enlarge with age to more than compensate for this disease. It is speculated that the Masai are protected from their atherosclerosis by physical fitness which causes their coronary vessels to be capacious."
So unless you're willing to exercise all day long like a Masai, adapting their high fat diet may not be for you...

For anyone interested, there are irrefutable sources for information such as T. Colin Campbell's "The China Study," which is the most comprehensive study of human nutrition ever conducted. The Institute of Aging and National Geographic are also great resources of information, with their research into diet, well-being, and longevity and their Blue Zones research.
