Sorry, folks. i did not realize the history or firestorm my comment would proved. If what you eat works, go that route till it doesn't. I haven't read the book and likely won't. But from the reviews I've read she does not address the core reasons I choose to eat this way, which are very scientifically backed. Her argument appears to be a straw man argument. Hence the reason I said "poor logic and reason." The insulen/glucose cycle is heavily documented and getting out of that cycle has helped my brain and body function far, far better. To address a few points:
-- "Paleo" is a non specific term that refers to any number of diets and reasons and thus has no particular meaning. -- We eat 100% grass fed meat and animal products. The difference from grain fed is primarily is the fat, and the flavor is rich and dynamic. By eliminating grains from any part of the food cycle our family eats, we have experienced dramatic improvements. -- Yes, humans have eaten glucose for a very long time. We need glucose (either produced from fat by our liver or ingested directly). I do much better eating "safe" carbs such as white rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes (about 1-2 cups a day). Anyone interested in the science will find a plethora of information at www.PerfectHealthDiet.com and their book. My apologies for inadvertently ruffling feathers.
