If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.

So you're claiming that any human will be just as healthy on any diet?

No, and building straw mans like that is not useful at all. I am just claiming most human groups learned to be healthy on almost any nutrients their environment managed to offer. I.e. flexibility, adaptation ability, due to intelligence.

So you're arguing that the Albanian sworn virgins were (socially) men?

Yes, the article is very clear about that. What is your point really? There is nothing particularly magic or essential about social roles, although it is clear that hormones play a role in being more suitable or less suitable for them.
