Okay. I'm reading the book for the third time. I wanted to go back to the part where she talks about dopamine/addiction. I must have missed that it applied to carbohydrates too. And apparently blinking light screens. So THAT'S why these darn bulletin boards are addictive!

Ya know, what I really like about this book? Her neat complete little theory that the diseases of civilization are just ways to deal with the coming ice age winter.

I also reread the bit about prolactin & autoimmunity. Alarmist- yes?

What I was looking for was a reason for everybody to be complaining of being extra hungry now that fall is here. There must be an explaination somewhere...is it because when the days get shorter we turn on the artificial lights earlier in the evening? hmmm

This book has really captured my attention. But why do we have to do cyclical diet by the seasons? Is there anyway to outsmart this by year round dietary changes?
