Meat, Milk, and The Metabolic Advantage

People with Pellagra were known as the Butterfly caste. Pellagra is due to a poor diet deficient in milk and meat leading to a deficiency of vitamin B3, Nicotinamide, the precursor to NAD vital to mitochondrial energy production and metabolic regulation. Sufferers had poor cognition and poor health with many infections and aged prematurely. A case is made that class and white supremacy was based on a high meat diet and inferiority on degeneration caused by poorer diets. The singular case of the treatable Butterfly caste may be relevant to other forms of oppression both in the past and now across classes and countries and presents dangers if high meat variances are not addressed, related to pandemics, wars and future prosperity.
