However given the exotic nature of concepts like "all raw" and "ultra low fat", I am afraid, such data has not been collected. Granted that non of the participants comsumed an uniformly diet, such differences were not considered an issue.

But I wonder if the scientific evidence (if any) that supports your 811rv concept provides the specificity that you demand otherwise? E.g. in "Nutritional Characteristics of Wild Primate Foods: Do the Diets of Our Closest Living Relatives Have Lessons for Us?" (freely available as pdf on the inet) it is stated that (from "Chamberlain JC, Nelson GJ, Milton K. Fatty acid profiles of major food sources of howler monkeys (Alouatta pallita) in the neotropics. Experientia 1993;49:820"): "Dietary fats are estimated to contribute only some 17% of daily caloric intake for howler monkeys."

So this is way more than your claimed maximum of 10% fats. Well it's ok for howler monkeys, why not for humans?
So, not 11, not 9, not 12, not 15, but 10. I guess "10" is a nice, round number, good for marketing, but otherwise insignificant?
