Therefore, the hepatic vitamin A concentration of a rhesus monkey in its natural environment could be expected to be closer to that reported for herbivores. PMC In researching what primate feed would be best, I came across The Monkey Chow Diaries.

(32) hypothesized that under a nonpathological (i.e., subtoxic) condition, the enlargement of stellate cells due to high vitamin A stores may protect the liver from fibrogenetic insults by preventing the development of the intracellular organelles that synthesize collagen. (, Blomhoff, R., Green, M. H., Berg, T. & Norum, K. R. (, Moriwaki, H., Blaner, W. S., Piantedosi, R. & Goodman, D. S. (, Bast, A., van der Plas, R. M., van den Berg, H. & Haenen, G.R.M.M. The recommendation that Americans consume more fresh fruits and vegetables in greater variety appears well supported by data on the diets of free-ranging monkeys and apes.

You may only view or print individual pages for your own personal use. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Nursing and adolescent Marmosets and similar species of New World Primates. "Angryman," is mild-mannered, heavily accented and works in an office that sometimes requires a tie. Amazingly, regional dietary preferences are not just unique to humans. Would I go insane? Epidemiologic studies have linked excess vitamin A in the elderly with a high incidence of osteoporosis in northern Europe (36). It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. I will do this for one whole month. Oh well, at least I had their support.
No. One of the perks of this is that people told me they are donating to hunger charities now, so maybe I'll try to design a project that's more useful but still keeps the goofy weirdo aspect. Though gut proportions differ, overall gut anatomy and the pattern of digestive kinetics of extant apes and humans are very similar. But animal fat never comes from a pleasant place that lard in your pie is no prettier than the lard in monkey food. 2003 Nov;133(11 Suppl 2):3886S-3892S.
In addition to providing a source for the preformed vitamin A, carotenoids appear to provide other health benefits that are increasingly appreciated. Was I already more insane than I'd like to admit? 2003. With administration of excess vitamin A, the lipid droplets in the stellate cells increase in size (29). Much (5080%) of the total vitamin A (retinol plus retinyl esters) in mammals is stored in the liver (28), mainly in the stellate cells (also known as Ito cells). The critical role played by animal source foods in human (Homo) evolution. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol. 2014 Mar;76(3):281-8. doi: 10.1002/ajp.22232. A. and transmitted securely. Then in 2006, with my impending divorce and me moving out on my own again, I thought I'd give it another shot. Just like humans, chimpanzees have their own unique dietary needs and preferences. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name.

Schweigert (24) reported similar hepatic vitamin A concentrations for carnivores and herbivores of 0.3510.5 mol/g and 0.171.4 mol/g, respectively. Scott, a.k.a.
Careers. How do you get famous, lose weight and have women e-mail you nude photos at one fell swoop? For example, you will probably try in vain to get a chimp to eat foods such as kiwi, squash, kale, and green beans. Do you have more tricks like this up your sleeve? Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Such data also suggest that greater attention to features of the diet and digestive physiology of non-human primates could direct attention to important areas for future research on features of human diet and health. For now, he'll return to his usual blog agenda, ranting about things that make him mad -- a pretty good site even without the simian high jinks. Much like the school cafeteria jocks dont want to eat with the nerds. Read the log to find out how it all turned out. The preformed vitamin A concentration of various commercially available monkey diets ranges from 20 to 40 iu/g. So, since my living expenses weren't all that high, the idea got shelved. This is an idea I thought of years ago while I was in college. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies BOX 2140 BLUE RIDGE, GA 30513 | 706-374-3675, PROJECT CHIMPS IS A NONPROFIT, It's not just something fat people say to justify eating. The pellet pounder became the latest Star Wars Kid for a time, with office workers across the world crowding around computer screens to watch him scarf down the foul-tasting kibble in new and inventive ways. You know, before when people would say "chocolate makes me happy," I laughed at it as trivial and simplistic, but now I understand it better.

All products are also subject to change without notice. The first post-diet food you ate was sausages and beer. A. It worked for Ottawan Adam Scott, 30, who created a video diary of his experiment and posted it on his blog "The Last Angry Young Man" (www.angryman.ca/blog/angryblog.html).
And the resumes were identical.
I instituted pretty much the same rules as The Last Angry Young Man. Other components of the lipid droplets are triacylglycerol, unesterified retinol, cholesterol esters, cholesterol, free fatty acids and phospholipids, but these appear to be less than half the total in animals with normal vitamin A stores (30).
Nutritional geometry of female chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview The female resume got 870% more responses. Their response was: "[We] received your email to the Mazuri web site and the LabDiet web site concerning human consumption of our Primate Diets. So a diet of monkey chow might free up money to buy books and school supplies (and booze). All products on this website are subject to availability and may be withdrawn without notice. Feel free to let me know if there's anything else you're wondering about. Although the marmosets actually consumed more vitamin A/kg body than did the rhesus monkeys, their hepatic vitamin A concentration was 93% less. The physiology of vitamin A storage in the liver has been well characterized. At one point you said you understand more about the relationship between food and emotion now. However, the rhesus monkeys we analyzed had even higher levels of hepatic vitamin A than most of the carnivorous arctic mammals whose vitamin A concentration is known [Table 5(2327)]. According to Kailie, food is an incredible bonding force that helps build trust between caretakers and the chimps. Comparison of published hepatic vitamin A concentrations of various mammals1. The marmoset diet also contains a higher fiber content, which may affect the bioavailability of the vitamin A from the diet. (, Hathcock, J. N., Hattan, D. G., Jenkins, M. Y., McDonald, J. T., Sundaresan, P. R. & Wilkening, V. L. (, Furr, H. C., Amedee-Manesme, O., Clifford, A. J., Bergen, H. R., III, Jones, A. D. & Olson, J. 2006 Jan;106(1 Suppl 1):S28-42.

Then I switched to soaking it in water, which it easier to swallow but disgusting. That was the genesis of the idea. Chimp Diets Whats on the Menu at Project Chimps.
The problem was that I was living with Bill LeNoue (my best friend in the whole wide world) at the time, and we more or less had an arrangement where I bought the food and he paid the rent.
(, Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center. The site is secure. The widespread prevalence of diet-related health problems, particularly in highly industrialized nations, suggests that many humans are not eating in a manner compatible with their biology. Based upon the 2001 dietary recommendations for adult humans (12), the upper limit of what is considered safe for human intake has been achieved in these rhesus monkeys, i.e., 3000 RE. government site. In light of this and other data, the Dietary Reference Intakes for humans for vitamin A were recently lowered to 900 and 700 RE for men and women, respectively (12). No research of these diets was done on humans. Marmosets and Tamarins, also suitable for other primate species. So I decided to focus on restaurants- servers, hosting, etc. Q. Q. A low-ranking chimp, for example, may be uncomfortable eating around a more dominant chimp because they fear their food may be stolen. From there I watched and read science fiction, which fairly often had a "superfood" that met all the bodies dietary needs. Lynette A. Phillips of the Pathobiological Sciences department at the UW School of Veterinary Medicine assisted in interpreting the histological samples. The Nutritional Facilitator at Project Chimps, Kailie Dombrausky, does her best to mimic the nutritional quality and content a chimp would eat in the wild. In general, relative to body weight, the average wild monkey or ape appears to take in far higher levels of many essential nutrients each day than the average American and such nutrients (as well as other substances) are being consumed together in their natural chemical matrix. All non-human primates that are ill or under similar stress may find it palatable and beneficial. In the wild, the rhesus monkey is neither a strict herbivore nor a carnivore. Fat Soluble Vitamin Assessment and Supplementation in Cholestasis. 15: A603 (abs.)]. Jessica Berthold and Tribune Newspapers: The Morning Call. Shear-thinning and self-healing chitosan-graphene oxide hydrogel for hemostasis and wound healing. Chances are this answer depends on your geographical location and culture.

I wasn't in school, and could probably live just fine on "normal" food, but there was that primal, manly (stupid) sense of curiosity that wondered if I could even do it. A. I started off eating it dry, which is difficult to eat because it's so hard.
Really impressed they gave such a detailed response to you. In the first few days, it was really savory stuff like melted cheese, like a cheeseburger or cheesy garlic bread. A chimpanzee, for example, has over 98% of its DNA identical to a human. It is unclear whether this is due to increased absorption of vitamin A (34) or decreased clearance of vitamin A from chylomicrons (35, 36). Could I live on just primate feed? It was always hot food. I just tried not to think about it.
Fatty acids in mountain gorilla diets: implications for primate nutrition and health. Perhaps the vitamin A needs are higher than those of rhesus monkeys when expressed on a body weight basis. The subtoxic-toxic hepatic concentrations of vitamin A in the rhesus monkeys we analyzed shows that the diet contains too much preformed vitamin A, substantially more than is required to meet their physiologic needs. Shorter, if it killed me. A. If you need assistance with primate diets contact us at +44 (0) 1376 511260 or email info@mazurizoofoods.com. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol.
Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first. doi: 10.1016/j.jada.2005.09.034. Conversion factors: 1 iu = 0.3 retinol equivalent (RE); 1 RE = 1 g retinol; 1 g retinol = 0.0035 mol retinol.
doi: 10.1002/ajp.23269. Traditional Human Populations and Nonhuman Primates Show Parallel Gut Microbiome Adaptations to Analogous Ecological Conditions. It is unclear whether there are pathological implications of this compression, at least at subtoxic levels of vitamin A. Zou et al. Bendich and Langseth (23) noted that the livers of various carnivore species may contain > 3.4 mol/g vitamin A and those of herbivores (e.g., chickens, cows, lambs) appear to average 0.17 mol/g. The great part (in theory) was that once I'd lost the weight, since the monkey diet was so cheap, I could buy all of the most decadent, expensive treats I wanted, and still be saving money! Chimps here at the sanctuary are given a variety of leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, and cabbage. muscle development is not simply about protein its about the creatine baby lets go!!!!

Dietex International Limited is a company registered in England and Wales under company number 04225846 and has its registered office at Witham, Essex CM8 3TH England. CANONF READ, ow BUSINESS.
Not all humans enrolled in these studies were healthy. Though he doesn't rule out a follow-up to his dietary adventure, it will probably have nothing to do with monkeys. Kailie, says We do try our best to get each chimp to eat everything we offer, but there is no way to make them eat or do anything else for that matter! Presentation is one thing that caregivers tweak for particularly picky chimps. The hope was to lose weight, and maybe even save money. My goal was to be entertaining (and to one-up the Angry Man). Neither LabDiet or Mazuri products are labeled for human consumption and we do not recommend a human diet of these products." The .gov means its official. Epub 2021 May 18. Can you elaborate? doi: 10.1093/jn/133.11.3886S.
We therefore conclude that although the vitamin A liver stores of the rhesus monkeys were high, placing them in a subtoxic-toxic range, their livers showed no fibrosis and no overt pathology. Presented in part at Experimental Biology 2001, April 2001, Orlando, FL [Penniston, K., & Tanumihardjo, S. A. Cell culture and human nutrition studies have shown that -carotene offers protection against some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease and that it stimulates the immune system (13, 37).

To allow for losses during manufacturing and storage, manufacturers may actually add even more vitamin A to their products. A. I wrote back to a couple people, but I am not going to use monkey chow as a dating tool. 
The authors thank Amanda Goudy Trainor at the UW Regional Primate Research Center for assistance with tissue distribution. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Heading in I was convinced that, although I'd miss out on the pleasure element of food, I could handle it for a week. Q.

I thought that rather than eating Ramen noodles or Banquet dinners everyday, it might be a bit healthier, and a lot cheaper, to eat monkey chow. What foods do you like to eat most?
I told yall. But the cravings kind of trickled off at the end, and the thought of eating anything churned my stomach. Marilyn said they would do better to eat Monkey Chow, since that would provide vitamin C, something that a dog's body can manufacture on its own. 2019 Sep 4;8(9):373. doi: 10.3390/antiox8090373. There were a total of five who sent pictures of themselves in various degrees of suggestiveness, then a bunch where people said they thought I was cute, etc. This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. P.O. Arseneau-Robar TJM, Changasi AH, Turner E, Teichroeb JA.
The description for monkey chow said it was suitable for all primates, so I thought "well, that doesn't exclude me.". (Check out our next blog on A Chimps Guide to Stealing Food.).

Anthropoids, including all great apes, take most of their diet from plants, and there is general consensus that humans come from a strongly herbivorous ancestry. It's almost like performance art. I looked for it on the Internet and didn't find anything, but I found all these other types of chow -- for goats, monkeys, even giraffes. When chimps first arrive at the sanctuary, it can take some time for them to become comfortable enough to eat. Recent research in humans and rats suggests that vitamin A needs may change with age.
