Where are you getting your information on the Masai diet?

Thanks, Greg

The diet of the Masai warriors was very different than the rest of the Masai.

Most of milk was probably saved for the warriors. The rest of the tribe

probably ate much more fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc. I believe the warriors

drank raw animal blood and consumed cooked blood clots. Many of the people from

the tribe were actually neighboring Africans from other tribes they 'napped.

The only shortcomings of milk over meat I can percieve is the much lower

creatine content and the lack of palmitoliec acid in it. However, with 7 quarts

a day they should be getting plenty of creatine. If they only consumed 3 quarts

a day but it had twice the fat then they should be getting enough fat soluble

vitamins. That would lower the magnesium content they had though. I think you

need atleast 600mg of magnesium a day for optimal health. Their tribe obviously

were selective of who became warriors based on the lactose intolerance. What

kind of fermented milk did

they have? I would imagine they put honey in it to help it ferment and be more

absorbable.
