low-carb-newsThe diet wars are not letting up any time soon. On top of that there’s a lot of conflicting advice bantered across the Internet. I think this has the unfortunate consequence of people not trusting their own taste and judgment and putting too much trust in experts.

Looks like researchers in Australia and New Zealand have discovered male and female crickets improve their lifespans with a high-carb, low protein diet.

In a study published in Current Biology scientist have shown that for guy crickets a diet with an 8 to 1 ratio of carbs to proteins were optimum for maximum sexual activity. Within the female cricket community a ratio of 1 to 1 carbs/proteins heightened fertility, however, this diet did lead shortened lifespans for the lady crickets.

So can we apply the cricket study results to people?

Probably not…

Yet researchers agree that humans do have gender-specific nutritional needs as well and offer the following advice when picking a diet.

  • Look closely at the individual
  • Gender
  • Reproductive stage in life
