April 17, 2007 - Breast milk from women in regions where the first humans
likely emerged suggests that Western diets - with their high amounts of
carbs, sugars, salts and oils - go against the optimal human diet. 

That conclusion comes from a new study that also suggests infant formula
guidelines, which are based on Western dietary recommendations, need
reassessment. 

"It is somewhat strange to first drastically deviate from what we as Homo
sapiens derive from in an evolutionary sense, then, because of this
deviation, we get all kinds of new diseases that many blame on environment,
notably diet, and then we set recommendations on the basis of this abnormal
diet!" author Frits Muskiet told Discovery News.
