Historically speaking, the most "natural" diet for humans, IE the one which was consumed by those who lived longest ( before medical care was a factor ) was one which was heavy in red meat, fish, whole-grain or multi-grain flour, and natural sugars such as those occurring in fresh fruit and honey.

It's the appearance and consumption of large amounts of processed flour and sugar that makes the difference; 100 years ago heart disease basically didn't exist. No historical evidence suggests its' presence in the medieval or rennesance worlds either, despite the fact that people were consuming HUGE amounts of meat, fat, unrefined starch, and alchohol. We're now discovering ( or re-discovering ) that this is the healthiest diet for Humans; thank you Dr. Atkins. Increasing ones' intake ot such high-protein, high-white-fat foods leads to weight loss, lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides...in general, and acorss-the-board improvement: PROVIDED that one cuts down on or eliminates processed carbohydrates and flour.
