Yeah, a double-edged sword, reminds me of that study a few years back tracing the trends of some certain gene back to the black plague. The variant afforded some resistance and slightly increased survival rates to the plague, but modern inheritors also have a slightly increased rate of autoimmune complications. Evolution filters for it as "more fit" when conditions change, but normally wouldn't have.
Still, the filter is usually most obsessed with calories, like niece post says. It's odd to see bread traded out. Agriculture is somewhat new but so is milk husbandry and we evolved digestion towards that.
