This volume examines the metabolic consequences of recent dietary and other lifestyle changes in selected populations in Asia, Australia and Africa. Scientific evidence suggests that human beings evolved on a diet that was higher in protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, calcium and nutrient density than the diet of developed and developing countries today. The hunter-gatherer diet was lower in simple carbohydrates, total fat, saturated fat and trans fatty acids, while also maintaining a balance between the omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The reviews in this volume describe the adverse metabolic effects now occurring in different populations undergoing rapid change and suggest how these detrimental effects on health can be prevented or modified. 606 $aNutrition 606 $aMetabolism 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aDietetics 606 $aGenetics 606 $aInternal Medicine 606 $aOncology 606 $aPreventive Medicine 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aSocial Medicine 615 14$aNutrition 615 14$aMetabolism 615 24$aAnthropology 615 24$aDietetics 615 24$aGenetics 615 24$aInternal Medicine 615 24$aOncology 615 24$aPreventive Medicine 615 24$aPublic Health 615 24$aSocial Medicine 676 $a612.3 s 676 $a612.3/9 700 $aSimopoulos$b A.P 701 $aSimopoulos$b Artemis P.$f1933-$0765990 801 0$bUKSKG 801 1$bUKSKG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158692603321 996 $aMetabolic Consequences of Changing Dietary Patterns$92867134 997 $aUNINA
