Is there a reason you don't want to use the gold standard of medical research? Yes there are some credible contributions but the threshold for medical research is comparatively very low. Compare that to pubmed:

I will reply only to the Inuits.
There is archeologic evidence that Eskimos have a long history of heart disease.
We have also seen that ancient Eskimos, far removed from the stresses of modern technological society, suffered from coronary artery disease, a process that has also been well documented as far back as dynastic Egypt, by both historical and anatomic evidence. This anatomic evidence in Alaska not only confirms the antiquity of arteriosclerotic heart disease but also its occurrence in a preliterate society
that lacks the historical evidence seen in Egypt.

The notion that the incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is low among the Inuit subsisting on a traditional marine diet has attained axiomatic status. The scientific evidence for this is weak and rests on early clinical evidence and uncertain mortality statistics. Methods: We reviewed the literature and performed new analyses of the mortality statistics from Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. Findings: The evidence for a low mortality from IHD among the Inuit is fragile and rests on unreliable mortality statistics. Mortality from stroke, however, is higher among the Inuit than among other western populations.
Just a moment... |
I am not claiming the Eskimo diet is healthy, whale blubber? yuk!
All I am saying is humans can survive at least long enough to reproduce on a wide variety of foods. Obviously some foods are healthier than others.
Stress is a huge negative factor weighing on most of us in today's world. Stress kills IMHO.
