I'm not paleo, per se, but I think he did a good analysis. Thoughts?

    Great article, thanks for sharing.

    I am living proof that critics of a Paleo/Primal lifestyle are dead wrong.

    Well, Chris Kresser is surely one of the best paleo authors out there, and it is worth to follow his blog and podcast (chriskresser.com/). He also advocates a more "flexible" approach (allowing diary and properly prepared legumes if you tolerate them).
    Anyway, if you are interested on the science behind the paleo diet, I would recommend to read the book "Food and Western Disease" by Staffan Lindeberg.

    Thanks! Always looking for new books to read. Interesting about Kresser, I didn't know that. The only reason I wouldn't call myself "paleo" is the occasional cheese, and some legumes. I don't eat much of any grains, no added sugars etc.

    These days, I consider Kresser more WAPF-style with his dietary recommendations. Chris Masterjohn is in that same group, too. Both are great authors and have some awesome works out there.

    Actually, yes! I'd say that seems accurate.

    I'm with you, Sabine. I include raw dairy and occasionally some sourdough bread, the former routinely and the latter less and less but I just can't yet say that I'll never eat really good sourdough ever again just yet LOL. In my mind Paleo is just the easiest way to make sure you prioritize the most nutrient dense foods and get rid of the "carbage", or at least keep it to a bare minimum. I'm a big fan of Kresser as well.
