This particular African Replenish 911 Review village was selected because of its isolation and the fact that the diet is very much like that of the Neolithic age – high in fiber, cereals, non animal protein and plants; the European children eat a more Western diet – high in animal protein, sugar and fat, but low in fiber.
All the study subjects were between 1 and 6 years old, and had taken no antibiotics or probiotics for the preceding six months. The information on diet came from parents. Not surprisingly the Italian subjects consumed more calories per day, 1512 vs. 996 among two to six year olds.
