Biological Facts

Disclaimer: I am not formerly qualified or educated on anything. This is a compilation of information I've confirmed and believe to be true by observation, personal experience or credible sources. As always verifiable constructive criticism is welcomed.

I love staying up late to watch a good movie, or working through my hungry stomach because I'm on a roll (which I'm doing right now, ha) or playing video games until I have a head ache. But I'm discovering how dangerous these behaviors are, especially over the long term.

Here are the things I've discovered and the related citations so you can verify them yourself;

Evidence for Biological Demand for a Schedule

1. If you don't wake up on time you won't eat on time.
2. If you don't eat on time then you get hungry rapidly and suddenly.
1. I've read that by the time you have allowed your body to experience "growling hunger" you have already allowed your body too much time to starve.
1. Citations needed for side effects.
2. This can result in overeating because you feel the need to satisfy that hunger rapidly, but you eat foot faster than you can digest, resulting in over eating.
2. It also results in eating your following meals later.
3. If you eat your following meals later then you're more likely to eat late.
1. If you eat too soon before you go to bed then your body can't digest it's food properly.
1. It results in a myriad of intestinal issues such as acid reflux, gas, general stomach pains, etc... that can cause irreversible long term damage to the affected organs.
4. If wait to digest and you don't go to bed on time (or whatever the reason) your body still tries to wake you up at the "normal" time the next day.
1. This results in less sleep then your body actually needs.
1. Less sleeping time means shorter period of REM (rapid eye movement, AKA "dreaming state") cycles.
1. Dreaming is your consciousness' awareness, AKA a side effect, of your body organizing your memories. It's your brain literally re-experiencing all of the sensual memories (hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, emotions, etc...) as they are taking from one part of your brain and delivered to another for storage.
1. Your brain tries to take the days memories and store them in an organized fashion so that you can, most quickly, recall and use them in following days. They're stored in nodes which are networked to other nodes. Just like computers are networked through the internet to share information.
2. Failure to sleep enough means that your brain didn't have enough time to organize those things so memories from the day get lost, die (AKA deleted), forgotten (die over time) and result, in following days, in the form of failure to recall, "think clearly" or be generally focused (fatigue from lack of sleep).
5. This makes maintaing a schedule the following day much more difficult resulting in compounded consequences that, ultimately, decay the body in ways and at times that it, otherwise, would not.

The point here is that your body was designed to manage all of this and inform you in real time. All you have to do is not ignore it! Your body wants to be satisfied and it rewards you for doing so.

Observational Evidence About Humans Anatomical Diet

I love Sushi. And cold dairy milk with Cap'n Crunch. And my dad's seared and seasoned steak.

But... the evidence I've discovered is that those things are literally destructive to the human body (not so much Sushi actually).

Despite my present dietary choices and vocalness on the topic; I was not raised vegan, virtually no one I know is, and the only reason I came to research this topic was because I started experiencing a number of the symptoms listed in this article and my "modern" doctors couldn't provide solutions and the ones that they proposed were expensive, inconclusive and hard to pronounce.

Regardless of my present belief I'm just trying to follow the evidence. So if the evidence suggests that a heavy meat and animal-by product diet; that's what I'll eat. And vice versa.

I'd like to emphasize that these details aren't just highlighting the difference between meat-eating and non-meat eating, but actually highlights any diet that includes animal by-products (dairy is a big one).

Here is the evidence that has persuaded me of these things

1. Jaw - The human jaw is identical to the rounded jaw lines of any herbivore. It's as different from a carnivore's jaw as is possible in the scope of jaw-differences.
1. Teeth - Carnivorous teeth are sharp, even omnivores have more sharp teeth (per capita) than humans). Teeth are subtle to an untrained eye (like myself) but it's still quiet clear, especially when put in the context of the other evidence throughout this article.
1. Consequences - Jaw/tooth and mouth related consequences of non-vegan diets;
1. Halitosis (bad breath) - 90% of cases the origin of odor is the mouth itself. It appears that the only causes of bad breath are easily-avoidable choices (leading with meat and dairy, but also obvious things like drugs)
1. Includes Dry Mouth.
2. Gingivitis
3. Tooth Decay
2. Benefits - Jaw/tooth and mouth related consequences of vegan based diets:
1. B12 Deficiency - There really aren't any consequences of vegan diets I can find. The closest to one is the rumored B12 deficiency which I discovered is only lacking in fruits and vegetables that have been cleaned by modern chemicals but otherwise occur naturally growing on the outside of them and is sufficient for a human body. But in our culture - unless you have your own garden like our family - you should take B12 supplement.
2. Prevention and protection against halitosis, bacterial causes of dry mouth, gingivitis and tooth decay! Because fruits and vegetables, especially a variety of herbs, naturally defend against it and simply don't cause it like animal products and by products do. Here's a non-authoritative, but easily verifiable citation.
1. This means you wouldn't need to brush your teeth (you might say gross, but think about it... why do you brush your teeth? Bad breath? Get the meat unstuck from between your teeth? If this was necessary to maintain a healthy mouth and avoid nasty breath then why weren't you born with a tooth brush and mouth wash?)
2. Nails - Just look up pictures on Google.
3. Organs - TONS of articles about this. I'm not even going to bother citing it because I don't know which article is best, there are TONS.
4. Cancers & Diseases
1. I've read and hear, many times now from many sources, that cancers, diabetes, heart diseases, strokes and obesity are virtually non-existent in carnivorous animals. Yet they're prevalent in omnivorous humans.

If we're not omnivores then why did we ever start eating meat?

My theory; because some environments the majority of plant life recedes during seasons while animals, and other living creatures, remain abundant.

So when humans begin to starve it would seem the natural instinct would be to find alternative sources for food to survive (animals). And easy to understand why we continue to eat them considering their rich flavor and high-density so eating less is more filling to a stomach that measures it's fullness by quantity instead of mass (weight).

Diet Summary

In summary, all observational evidence (facts) indicates that humans are herbivores, despite behavioral patterns. Which have well documented consquences that anyone could easily test if they adopted herbivore (probably 90%+ vegan diet).

Miscellaneous Notes

• A friend of mine recently reminded me that fasting, as you know, flushes your body of all sorts of filth but, while doing that, can cure allergies!
