This
dramatic increase
in temperature occurs rapidly over 5,000 to 7,000 years as glacial sheets begin to
decrease in size, sea levels rise and greenhouse gases increase.
There are lots of other changes this represents too, such as the presence of chemicals
in our food supply (pesticides, herbicides, xenoestrogens, etc) that didn't exist
in the ancient diet, as well as the
dramatic changes caused by hybridization of many of our foods, which creates versions of fruits and vegetables bred more for
size, sweetness, and appearance as opposed to natural nutrition... this aspect has
decreased micronutrient content
in the modern day food supply (just look at wild blueberries vs cultivated blueberries as an example of that with wild berries coming
in at more than DOUBLE the antioxidants from ORAC testing).
One study failed to find evidence of
decreased CoQ10 levels
in dogs with congestive heart failure, but reported that although
dramatic effects on blood dynamics were not observed, CoQ10 supplementation reduced the increase
in organ
size associated with chronic heart failure [3].
