第一章 | 走出健康误区☞不易盲目补铁 首先作者在引言部分就以亲身经历给我们对血色病做了简单的阐述,简而言之,血色病是体内一种铁代谢障碍性遗传病。正常情况下,当机体检测到体内铁含量过多时,它会自动减少小肠从食物中吸收铁,从而降低铁含量。因此,即使我们摄入了大...
评分生命,本就是一种妥协。科学就是不断修正,我们在批判前人结论的基础上建设。进化只是解决当时一个问题,并不是全面的。我们体内遗留的一些基因只是保障我们明天不死,而不是40年后不死。就像那句话“那些杀不死我们的,迟早会杀死我们”。David M·Buss的《进化心理学》也可以...
评分转发至国学数典论坛 血色沉着病是西欧常见的遗传病,导致铁质在体内积累达到超载地步,长时间会导致破坏肝脏和胰脏。有人用放血的方式,可以降低血液中的铁含量,减轻病症。 为什么大自然进化没有消灭这种疾病?原因就在于这种疾病是一种次优平衡选择,让我们避免今天...
评分这本书很有趣。如果本人具备一定的生物学、医学基础,我可能更加明白个中妙处。 书里告诉我们:现在我们遇到的很多疾病(血色病、糖尿病、蚕豆病、皮肤癌,只记得这几个)都在漫长的进化进程中曾经帮助过我们,使我们免于灭亡。举个例子:糖尿病“是一组由于胰岛素分泌缺陷和/...
评分看这本书的目的就是为了更长寿、更健康。 书中讲到了很多我还不知道的东西,铁是不能乱补的,它需要一个平衡;蚕豆是不能多吃的;植物雌激素会阻止生育能力的;环境的改变,会导致细胞的甲基化,导致生病等等。总之,生命处在一个持续创造的状态,进化永远不会停止,而我们为了...

Synopsis
In this groundbreaking and absorbing book, wunderkind Dr. Sharon Moalem delves back into the evolution of man to reveal hitherto unknown and astonishing ways the human body is built to survive. With this revolutionary new book, Sharon Moalem completely turns modern medicine's understanding of disease on it's head. "It is not," he argues, "that dark country to which we're exiled when we're not 'healthy.' The truth, I intend to show you, is much more interesting and encouraging." His research will reveal that many common diseases are in fact complicated blessings. In considering the question of why diseases exist, Moalem proposes that most common diseases came into existence for very good reasons. Diabetes, hemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia all may exist because at some point they helped our ancestors survive some grand challenge to human existence. In turn, he also discovered that genetic and cultural differences have led to each race having different and unique ways of reacting to their environment and subsequently how they become susceptible to certain diseases.
With mesmerizing insight, Moalem demonstrates how diabetes may be a by-product of a mechanism that helped humans survive the Ice Age, why African Americans living in the north might suffer from vitamin D deficiencies, and why Asians can't drink as much alcohol as Europeans. Information in this book is extremely timely, such as Moalem's exploration of the Avian Flu, a disease that threatens to be the world's next great pandemic. Revelatory and written in an utterly engaging fashion, Sharon Moalem's book will change the way we think about our own bodies.
First, that life is in a constant state of creation. Evolution isn’t over. Second, that nothing in our world exists in isolation. We—meaning humans and animals and plants and microbes and everything else—are all evolving together. And third, that our relationship with disease is often much more complex than we may have previously realized.
