Interesting article, but it is bad in one very large way.<p>Paleos say we should eat the diet our bodies evolved for. Anti-paleos argue that paleo diets differed enormously.<p>That is quite correct, but there is one very important thing all the paleo diets had in common. That is that they included no refined carbohydrates. That leads to the possibility that our bodies are poor at handling them, and indeed there is a good deal of evidence that is the case.<p>I am sure the author is quite aware of all that, but he carefully avoids addressing the issue. The closest he comes is attacking the idea that sugar is poison, a claim, as everyone knows, is metaphorical, not what is literally meant.<p>The fact that he never addresses the refined carbohydrate problem makes me mistrust his motives, and the objectivity of the rest of his arguments. Perhaps is being paid by the refined carbohydrate industry.
