Diese Argumentation scheint mir sehr einleuchtend:
One of the basic premises of the paleo diet is that we haven’t had enough time to adapt to foods that were introduced after the agricultural revolution. However, we’re now learning that although our human genome changes slowly, the human microbiome – the collective genomes of the microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa and viruses) that live inside and on the human body – can be altered fairly rapidly. Some types of bacteria have the ability to degrade gluten peptides, lactose, phytic acid, and other food ingredients that are often considered the primary “toxins” in neolithic foods.
The fact that the microbiome responds to changes in environment and lifestyle and that we can manipulate the gut microbiome by introducing new types of bacteria (e.g., fermented foods) and fermentable substrates/prebiotics, questions the idea that we need thousands of years to adapt to new foods introduced in the human diet.
