Why this DIET is ranked as the BEST — Food On Mars
“In 1973 Alvarenga Sonno survived 487 days in the ocean by catching fish and birds, and drinking turtle blood and rainwater.”
“In 1979 an 18-year-old Austrian, survived almost three weeks without drinking water. The police forgot him in a cell and he somehow made it after 18 days with no water.”
Even to bring it on a funnier note: “the record for most eaten cockroaches in 60 seconds is 36!”
What do all these stories have in common?
They are all newspaper headlines that describe extreme situations where the human body endured a high amount of stress and adapted to the impossible (and yes, eating 36 roaches is considered an impossible task!)
And then…. you have headlines like this one:
„A glass of milk can cause Parkinson´s disease”
„Bacon and sausages give you cancer”
„Vegetarian diets increase the risk of cancer”
Really? The body that could endure consuming turtle blood for 487 days or the one that suddenly didn´t have access to water for more than 2 weeks, now gets „defeated” by a glass of milk?
