Re: [Phys-l] Isotope chemistry and physics



and blood so I'm told. We, the U. Nairobi Anthro. Club, visiting some Maasai in the Rift Valley (1972) were offered freshly drawn milk in very wide shallow bowels. I didn't notice any rather old people, and two teen agers ran alongside our bus for many minutes up the mountain at 15? MPH. I am still impressed, even knowing of Kip Keiano's Golds.

I just cheated, from Wiki.:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maasai
The Maasai herd goats and sheep, including the Red Maasai sheep, as well as the more prized cattle.[50] Electrocardiogram tests applied to 400 young adult male Maasai found no evidence whatsoever of heart disease, abnormalities or malfunction. Further study with carbon-14 tracers showed that the average cholesterol level was about 50 percent of that of an average American. These findings were ascribed to the amazing fitness of morans, which was evaluated as "Olympic standard".[51]

not have an abnormal rate of heart disease.
