What I've...... easy to throw names around, eh?<br /><br />What I've read of Dr Zuk indicates that she does not debunk a (true) paleo diet in its entirety - she merely points out that humans haven't stopped evolving, that humans will likely evolve further, that evolution may occur faster than some who advocate a paleo diet seem to believe. And that humans were never perfect in the first place. She advises caution against viewing humans as unable to adapt to a changing environment (such as diet), and gives some examples of adaptations, such as lactose tolerance, which have occurred. <br /><br />Big deal. Show me a real debunking of the 'paleo diet', please, not just straw-man tinkering around the edges. I want evidence that humans HAVE adapted genetically to a massive daily intake of sugar, or alternatively, evidence that the reason humans have not adapted is NOT because there hasn't been enough time (which is what those naughty "paleo diet" people probably saying.)the drunken watchmannoreply@blogger.com
