Veganism and the Social Political Cultural World

Meer over het boek

The book explores the profound impact of dietary fiber on colonic microflora and its implications for human evolution. A high-fiber diet is shown to suppress certain archaeal growth, promoting the development of human-specific traits and enhancing synaptic connectivity through butyrate production. Conversely, a low-fiber diet fosters archaeal growth, leading to a regression towards Neanderthal-like brain characteristics, resulting in cognitive disorders and societal issues marked by nationalism and violence. The interplay between diet, genetics, and civilization is central to the narrative.
