Polymorphic trophonosis: the pseudo-omnivorous diet-related disease--a hypothesis

Consideration of a wide range of seemingly disparate, non-infectious diseases reveals that most of them are only the varying forms or symptoms of a single, diet-related disease postulated to be Polymorphic Trophonosis. It is pointed out that they are all associated with pseudo-omnivorous dietary practices--negating the biological limitations of Homo omnivorus. In these practices, neither the out-of-all-proportion consumption of certain essential nutrients nor the liberal eating of new types of food seems to be suitable to the structure and mode of functioning of the digestive and/or metabolic systems.
