WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE GET THIS INFORMATION???? under your aluminum hats???
you have no idea of homo sapian ANATOMY!!!
1.CECUM: Most mammalian herbivores have a relatively large cecum, hosting a large number of bacteria, which aid in the enzymatic breakdown of plant materials such as cellulose; in many species, it is considerably wider than the colon. In contrast, obligatory carnivores, whose diets contain little or no plant material, have a reduced cecum, which is often partially or wholly replaced by the vermiform appendix.
2.APPENDIX: I STILL HAVE MINE!!!! its purpose was to digest hard seeds or other material like small BONES, that could not be digested by the stomach acids or small intestine. Attached to the first portion of the large intestine is a troublesome pouch called the (veriform) appendix. The appendix has no function in modern humans, however it is believed to have been part of the digestive system in our primitive ancestors.
3. where in the hell did you come up with this: "We derive the nutrients from roughage mainly by consuming animals that are able to consume roughage efficiently." that is so WRONG.......you cant get complex carbs that where in plants, by eating the meat of the animal that ate the plant!!!!!!!!!SCHEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!
4.this is one thing you have right!!!! "roughage is intestinal cleaner." without that, you increase the chances of COLON CANCER!!!! again we go back to human anatomy! the intestinal tract of a human is primarily OMNIVORE/HERBIVORE!!!!
Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores.
5. as to your sister & niece, i think they would have been trying to be VEGAN. this is a level of VEGETARIANISM, that is the hardest to sustain. due to the fact: ALL VEGANS DO NOT INGEST ANY ANIMAL PRODUCT!!!! now to futher explain, i was a vegetarian for 19 years. BUT......i was a LACTO-OVO VEGETARIAN. we did ingest EGGS & DAIRY PRODUCTS. in doing so we kept up the AMINO ACID levels that i belive your sister/niece did not. now for 19 years, i did not eat meat and i survived very well. when i went back to eating meat(2 years ago)as prescribed by a CARDIOLOGIST, who informed me of some thing i did not know. 85% of the cholesterol created in the body..........comes from CARBOHYDRATES!!!!! i was told this by 3-4 other doctors. NOW........this goes to a whol other subject of CARBS, GOOD & BAD...which is which.
GOOD................COMPLEX CARBS. are high-fiber foods, which improve your digestion. They help stabilize the blood sugar, keep your energy at an even level, and help you feel satisfied longer after your meal. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES are the best: Arugula,Bok choy,Broccoli,Brussels sprouts,Cabbage,Cauliflower,Chinese cabbage,Collard greens,Kale,Kohlrabi,Mustard greens,Radishes,Rutabaga,Turnips,Watercress. other COMPLEX CARBS, such as Whole grain bread, bagels, buns and rolls are examples of these. Also pasta, macaroni and breakfast cereals that are made from whole grains.
SIMPLE CARBS.............BAD!!!!! Table sugar, Corn syrup, Fruit juice, Candy, Cake, Bread made with white flour, Pasta made with white flour, Soda pop, such as Coke®, Pepsi®, Mountain Dew®, etc. All baked goods made with white flour, Most packaged cereals.
so there you have it.......................learn to eat the right foods, and PLEASE LEARN ANATOMY )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You do realize that animal nutrition(equine mainly) is what I have been trained in for higher education and that I had involved in that field for over a decade?
I have had human A&P as well, as most professors recommend that you have that even if your specialty is animal science due to be able to explain commonalities and differences.
You do derive a portion of what they eat. You just do not get the full benefit of it. It's the difference of taking a pill or getting a shot directly where it needs to go. The pill gets diluted as it works it's way through the system and only a portion of it actually makes it to it's goal, however, if you have a shot right where it needs to be, more often then not you get the whole she-bang. The difference between going a head and eating roughage and bypassing the "middle man" is that we are hugely in efficient with that consumption.
I didn't say appendix was missing from everyone, I still have mine as well. I'm merely stating that it is disappearing or evolving out of our system.
