      There are lots of "debunkers" on the forum, which is good. I like to collect competing evidence/commentaries as well, so if you could please post those with links to the articles that would be great thanks!

      A diet of grain-free whole foods with carbohydrate from cellular tubers, leaves, and fruits may produce a gastrointestinal microbiota consistent with our evolutionary condition, potentially explaining the exceptional macronutrient-independent metabolic health of non-Westernized populations, and the apparent efficacy of the modern “Paleolithic” diet on satiety and metabolism.

      I just skimmed as I don't have time to dive in right now. I gotta ask..was there a study? I didn't see one.

      Non-Westernized diets like Japanese and Mediterranean?

      Nope. It's a review paper.

      ah, I figured.

      So a review paper with a "May Cause" conclusion...

      Mediterranean is western of course.
      He studies the people of Kitava, an island of Papua New Guinea.

      It's from 2012. Has his "proposal" actually gone anywhere?

      Oh, and LOLOLOLOL at his conclusion. There are, apparently, no overweight/obese people that he looked at. And I wonder how abundant their food sources are and what their activity levels are.
