- "Researchers found that as prehistoric humans transitioned from hunting and gathering to farming, certain types of disease-causing bacteria that were particularly efficient at using carbohydrates started to win out over other types of "friendly" bacteria in human mouths."
The article goes on to discuss the resulting oral problems:
- "...that's a problem, because the dominance of harmful bacteria means that our mouths are basically in a constant state of disease. [One researcher commented:] 'You're walking around with a permanent immune response, which is not a good thing. It causes problems all over the place'. "
The author of this article hints that this supports the Paleo Diet, and likewise, the way I see it, this also supports the use of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to treat IBD.
