Bio-Individuality:

In 1956 Roger Williams published Biochemical Individuality, asserting that individuality permeates each part of the human body. This book explained how personal differences in anatomy, metabolism, composition of bodily fluids and cell structure influence your overall health.

Each person, Williams wrote, has genetically determined and highly individualistic nutrition requirements. This theory influenced some independent-thinking minds in the nutrition world but is still largely ignored by the mainstream.

We are too individualistic to eat the same exact food. Ever notice that men eat very differently than women? Children, teens and adults all have very different preferences. People who work in an office eat differently than those who do physical labor. People eat according to their age, whether they are 25, 55 or 85.

Our personal tastes and preferences, natural shapes and sizes, blood types, metabolic rates and genetic backgrounds influence what foods will and won’t nourish us. So, when the experts say, “tomatoes are good for you” or “red meat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a generalization. One person’s food is another person’s poison and that’s why fad diets don’t work in the long run. They are not based on the reality that we all have different dietary needs, just like we all have different needs in the area of relationship, prayer and pretty much everything in life. Yes?
