What is the hypothesis in the following scientific excerpt? "Our meat research program was originally stimulated by observations that, when urbanised, diabetic Australian Aborigines reverted temporarily to their traditional hunter-gatherer diet, there were improvements, not only in the metabolic abnormalities of diabetes [5], but also in several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The diet was low in fat (13 % energy) despite being rich in red meat, as meats from wild animals are extremely lean, of the order of 1-2 % fat [8], much of which is structural lipid and, therefore, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) [9]." After these observations, researchers carried out a study comparing men under a low-fat meat diet vs. men under a vegetarian and vegan diets. To measure the impact of the diet, they measured micronutrient levels like iron and zinc and looked at cholesterol and PUFA levels."
