Submission Guidelines 6. This is the electronic mail forum which discusses a broad range of topics related to human health that come under the hygiene fields . While recognising the value of Natural Hygiene principles, fruitarianism and raw food diets, the Bionomic Nutrition Forum is aimed at integrating new scientific findings into natural living philosophies to correct errors andoutdated ideas found in these systems. Any Natural Hygiene book will serve as a good foundation to the broad principles of the list, however the moderators research finds significant problems with the details of these texts. In order to keep the name of the list non-sectarian a name has been given which does not indicate any particular dietary specialisation.
People are welcome to discuss any particular dietary practice.
We really do not know what the optimum human diet is, and part of the purpose of the list is to share experiences and debate what such a diet may be. There are a few clues as to what we should make up our ideal diet with. Darwin was also fairly specific about human evolution and claimed that humans descended from apes. Modern scientific research, in many fields, has provided extensive evidence that humans are indeed, full blooded primates. On this basis we might expect that the chimpanzees natural diet would be a good starting point for identifying our own, and then we might wish to review this in the light of our differences in instincts, biochemistry and physiology.
