Estimation of the net acid load of the diet of ancestral preagricultural Homo sapiens and their hominid ancestors
It should be emphasized that, for the contemporary diet, both the neutralizing effect of replacing cereal grains with nongrain plant-food groups and the net base-producing effect of replacing both cereal grains and EDNP foods with nongrain plant-food groups were computed without changing the amounts of the net acid-producing animal foods in the diet (meat, cheese, milk and yogurt, and eggs). Indeed, animal food intake could increase considerably under these circumstances without conversion of the diet to a net acid-producing one.
If a net base-producing diet was the norm throughout most of hominid evolution, it can be assumed that human metabolic machinery and integrated organ physiology is genetically adapted to an endogenous net base load on average (1 –3 ). Thus, in considering the lifelong effect of the habitual ingestion of contemporary diets, it may be necessary to consider not only the negative effects incurred by their imposed chronic net acid load but also the potential positive effects no longer realized because of their failure to supply a chronic net base load.
