Question

"Grains of paradise" plants grow in the swampy region inhabited by the western lowland gorilla and make up 80-90% of the gorillas' diet and are even utilized in constructing their nests each night. Captive lowland gorillas in zoos are not fed grains of paradise, but rather have a complex diet of processed vitamin-rich food plus fruits and vegetables available in the marketplace. Recently, scientists identified potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds in grains of paradise that may hold the key to a puzzling question:"Why do western inland gorillas in zoos have an alarming high rate of cardiomyopathy (a type of heart disease)?"
