the paleo diet is one made up by white neurotic elite women in large cities.

I read one where she used all sorts of exotic things from all over the world, as if our caveman ancestors could import exotic stuff via FedEx. The more exotic the better. It is just the latest fad for neurotic women, and as a doc, I've seen a couple dozen of these come and go over the last 40 years.

In reality, in the “good old days” people often starved on and off, and there is nothing like starvation to lower the risk of high cholesterol and diabetes. And in Asia, the poor people ate lots of salt and continue to do so, and as a result die of stroke/heart attacks/kidney disease and toxemia of pregnancy. And when I worked in Africa, the low protein/low salt diet meant no heart disease or diabetes, but they died of infections at a higher rate than I ever saw in the USA.

So get rid of typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis, amoebiasis, etc. and periodically starve, and you will probably live to be 90.

don’t give a lot of milk to your cats: They lack the enzyme lactase and if they drink too much they get diarrhea.

No, the paleo diet is based on eating foods with no additives.

It has nothing to do with neurotic women.

To your point, starving one’s self is an acceptable remedy for cholesterol, No.

The founder is not a medical doctor, nor does he provide revenue for our ailing medical industry, which thrives on illness, and provides revenue for the pharmaceutical industry, and there fore, the founder of the paleo diet is maligned by the community, as is every other industry which seeks to heal people, affecting a subversion to our medical (sick-care) system.

The question is, why, among the fighter pilot community, to illustrate a group who thrives on true physical fitness (it is avery physical and very physically competitive job), in the Air Force, is it an understood phenomenon that, at the gym, where they spend much time, the doctors, the Air Force doctors, are the ones who are always, and famous for being so, the fattest and least in shape - by far? Doctors have a special waver for being allowed to be out of shape in the Air Force. they don’t know how to take care of themselves.

It is well known.

doctors know nothing about nutrition and always have talking points when confronted with these questions.

Here’s the founder:
He is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and abstracts, and his research into the health benefits of Stone Age Diets for contemporary people has appeared in the world’s top scientific journals including the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the British Journal of Nutrition, and the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, among others. He is also on the Advisory Board of Paleo Magazine the first, and only, print magazine dedicated to the Paleo/Primal lifestyle and ancestral health.

Dr. Loren Cordain’s popular book, The Paleo Diet, has been widely acclaimed in both the scientific and lay communities and was fully revised in 2010. His next book, The Paleo Diet for Athletes, published in October 2005, discusses how the Paleo Diet can be modified for the high performance endurance athlete and lead to improved health and performance. His next book, The Dietary Cure for Acne, is available in paperback and as an instant download ebook. The Paleo Diet Cookbook was published in 2010 and became an instant bestseller. His most recent book, The Paleo Answer, was released in December 2011, and represents a sequel to The Revised Paleo Diet. Dr. Loren Cordain is the recipient of the Scholarly Excellence award at Colorado State University for his contributions into understanding optimal human nutrition.

Dr. Loren Cordain first became interested in nutrition during his childhood, from his mother encouraging him to eat his fruits and veggies and from his father giving him books about Stone Age people and how they lived off the land from wild plants and animals. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, he was involved in intercollegiate athletics and became more interested in diets that could improve his performance

In Oklahoma, so many people have some Native American blood and have trouble with milk that they sell milk with the lactaid mixed with the milk.

The mainstream Lactaid® product sold across the United States and mentioned earlier in the thread has lactose removed, not anything added to it. And BTW, lactose tablets sometimes work but definitely not always. I speak from experience.

“lactose tablets” should have been “lactase tablets”.

he’s a PhD not a “doctor” of medicine.

As for diets: I’ve seen dozens come and go in the last 50 years.

So I think I am going out and write a book about the Filipino diet.

“you too can be young and beautiful like a Filipino lady”...lots of fish, Lechon, soysauce, patis, bagoong, shrimp, and of course, DURIAN!

wtf: All diet books make millions of dollars and few of them have actual proof they work except for the true believers.

As for preservatives: Yes, some people get hyperactive or allergic reactions to them, especially if eaten all the time, but without preservatives, a lot more food would be thrown away, food would be more expensive, and a lot more people would starve to death because they couldn’t afford it.

Humans are omnivores. As far back as Hippocrates it was known that too much meat, too much fat, not enough exercize, led to obesity and health problems.

But the modern hyperbole on correct diet goes beyond common sense: It is a pseudo religion, with the underlying idea that if you eat right you can be healthy and strong and live forever.

An absolutely spot-on excellent post! No more non-fat milk for me. I stopped drinking it and switched to "fatter" milk after more than 35 years of drinking nearly a quart of non-fat milk a day, most of the time, just a few months ago, and quickly DROPPED four pounds, to my surprise.

Your post -- SPOT ON ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
