| No way to know for sure. My mom used corn oil for cooking, and we had meat at least twice a day. Antioxidant-rich foods were not common either. My investigations into nutrition began while I was in my teens, because I had intestinal problems. The vegan diet seemed to work, but if I ate greasy falafel (and similar things), the intestinal issues came back, which now makes sense, of course, but at the time I didn't know about the lipid peroxidation studies. Basically, the vegan diet was very low in fat, so I avoided lipid peroxidation to a large degree (especially compared to most Amercans). However, the food did not satisfy for long, and it also caused bloating and gas (probably the high fiber content and/or legumes). |
