Animal foods in traditional Australian aboriginal diets: polyunsaturated and low
in fat.
Lipids. 1986 Nov;21(11):684-90.
Naughton JM, O'Dea K, Sinclair AJ.
Australian Aborigines develop high frequencies of diabetes and cardiovascular
diseases when they make the transition to an urban lifestyle. The composition of
the traditional diet, particularly its lipid components, is a most important
aspect of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle that would bear on the risk of these
diseases. We have examined the fat content and fatty acid composition of a
variety of animal foods eaten traditionally by Aborigines from different regions
of Australia. The muscle samples of the wild animals from all over Australia
were uniformly low in fat (less than 2.6% wet weight) with a high proportion of
polyunsaturated fatty acids (greater than or equal to 20% PUFA). Liver samples
had a higher range of fat content (5-10% wet weight) but were also rich in PUFA
(33-42%). Depot fat samples varied widely in their PUFA content (5-40%). In
terms of their PUFA composition the foods tended to fall into three groups: (i)
those rich in both n-3 and n-6 PUFA, which included land-based, coastal and
freshwater animals; (ii) those rich in n-3 PUFA, i.e., marine species; (iii)
those rich in n-6 PUFA, mainly land-based species. The results of these analyses
suggest that even when the traditional Aboriginal diet contained a high
proportion of animal foods it would have been low in fat with a high proportion
of PUFA and thereby could have protected Aborigines against cardiovascular
diseases and related conditions through a combination of factors: low energy
density, low saturated fat and relatively high PUFA content.
uhhh, what did you say?

i thought that's what you said
YOU can't eat hunter/gatherer because you BUY your beef from walmart! LOLOL

Aborigines diet depended on variables.
Time of year, location, everything-the content of fat is absurd, and irrelevant.
We are not talking about a "survivor "style diet, these people knew what the go was, the reason for being low in fat is because there wasn't that much to go around.
It is also necessary to distinguish between coastal and inland tribes, Oz is a bloody big, harsh, and hot joint.
Further, some studies of Australian aborigines generally suggest very limited lifespan living traditionally-40/50/60
even worse, they die like flies in the modern world, average life expectancy is about 50 for a modern aborigine male.
On average.

The Inuit Paradox
How can people who gorge on fat and rarely see a vegetable be healthier than we are?
+Fats have been demonized in the United States...In the Nunavik villages in northern Quebec, adults over 40 get almost half their calories from native foods, says Dewailly, and they donât die of heart attacks at nearly the same rates as other Canadians or Americans. Their cardiac death rate is about half of ours, he says.
+A key difference in the typical Nunavik Inuitâs diet is that more than 50 percent of the calories in Inuit native foods come from fats. Much more important, the fats come from wild animals.
+Wild-animal fats are different from both farm-animal fats and processed fats, says Dewailly. Farm animals, cooped up and stuffed with agricultural grains (carbohydrates) typically have lots of solid, highly saturated fat.
+The word Inupiat means âthe real people.â âThatâs who we are,â says Cochran.

Carbs kill!
Cut the carbs.
Cut the grains. Livestock should be grass fed. Humans should not eat nearly as much grains.
