We did not evolve to eat the carb loaded
sugar filled diets we eat now. Maybe we can evolve to eat this way someday.

Eating a keto diet has made my diabeties much easier to manage.
My mom got a genetic test and had a surprising amount of neanderthal dna mixed in with the rest of her genetic make up.

But she could eat carbs fine.

Some of our family members on her side had diabeties. Wonder if the neanderthal was just enough to make a western diet harder on us. It would be interesting if a study was done on it.
