"Comments About Stefansson's Conclusions
Some people who disagree with a low-carbohydrate lifestyle are quick to grasp at some of Stefansson's conclusions as evidence the Eskimos' all fish diet was unhealthy. The Eskimos probably did not have an optimal diet, but their diet cannot be blamed for all of Stefansson's concluding remarks. The Eskimos proved that our current Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamins and minerals must be wrong. Their diet would appear to be low in vitamin C and vitamin K, but they did not develop scurvy or develop illnesses as the result of a vitamin K deficiency. The Eskimos proved the current nutritional theory of a "balanced diet" is nonsense. The most healthy diet has the majority of calories coming from meat and natural animal fats while avoiding carbohydrates.
Humans would quickly die on a diet of all fruit. Humans would suffer multiple nutritional deficiencies and diseases on a diet of all grains, legumes or rice. Humans live wonderfully healthy on a diet of all meat and natural animal fats which includes the organ meats.
Stefansson's opinion that people would be better off by raising grains instead of animals for food was wrong at the time and continues to be wrong today. There are no scientific facts to prove this statement. Primitive societies that switched from being primarily meat eaters to becoming primarily grain eaters suffered a sharp decline in health as proven by multiple studies.
The Eskimos may have appeared to age more quickly than white Europeans for several reasons:
They were exposed to extreme temperature ranges their entire life.
They may have been exposed to excessive smoke from fires in their huts.
They may have been effected by the reduced amount of sun light.
The life span of the Eskimos would naturally be shorter than that of other societies for several reasons which have nothing to do with nutrition:
The extreme temperature exposure is expected to cause some percentage of deaths.
The hunting and fishing practices are high risk endeavors that cause deaths by accident.
Fluctuations in food supply are known to have caused starvation among the Eskimos.
Infection was a major cause of death for which the people had little understanding.
The Eskimos had many health advantages compared to white Europeans of their day. These health benefits can be clearly credited to their all meat diet of salmon, such as:
Perfect dental health. They had no dental caries within the entire community.
Excellent skeletal health without any signs of osteoporosis.
They had no cancer of any kind.
They had no heart disease or cardiovascular disease of any kind.
They had no intestinal diseases that have been reported by Stefansson or others.
They had no Type 2 diabetes because it is caused by eating carbohydrates.
They had no obesity because obesity is caused by eating carbohydrates.
Stefansson continued to live on the Eskimo diet for many decades, in very good health, until his death at the age of 83."

Barry Sears väittää myös Omega Zone kirjassaan, että hiilihydraatit ovat tulehdusten ja sairauksien takana, omega3 rasvahappojen vaikutuksista(tulehdukset vähentyy, aivotoiminta paranee).
Luontaisesti vilja ei oikeastaan kuulu ihmisen ravintoon, vaikka 80-luvulla high carb, low fat ruokavaliot yleistyivät. Pitäisikö tässä nyt uskoa pullabulvaaneja ja että high carb, low fat on terveellinen lähtökohta ihmisen ruokavaliolle?
Itse uskoisin näin, että: "Jos ihminen ei näytä terveeltä, hän ei voi olla terve".
Lihavuus/diabetes on sairautta, eikä sitä pidä hyväksyä, se ei ole "okei".
" Eskimos never eat any vegetables, and lo and behold, they are slim people. Number two are the Rocky Mountain men. They ate what they killed - there are no fruits and vegetables in the Rocky Mountains. Third is the Plains Indian. His whole life was the buffalo. It was his food, his weapon, his clothing, his shelter. That's why the white man killed the buffalo - to starve the Indian.
Indians didn't eat corn until we put them on reservations. Indians were very muscular warriors. The Union shoulders called them the finest light cavalry in the world. Then consider the Bolare of South America and the Masai of Africa. For the Masai, cattle were a prized possession. They were basically meat eaters and protein eaters. The people of all these tribes were highly sexed because they had high natural hormone levels. Moreover, they all had cholesterol levels of three to five hundred with no arterial sclerosis or heart attacks whatsoever. "
