I wasn't really trying to debate the evidence of our paleo diet anyway. I was really trying to get at the fact that the so called paleo diet might only a succesful short term strategy as our ancestors weren't due for a long life anyway.

Not only that, but what if these high carbo foods contain chemicals and components that help extend our life and reduce stress in our bodies...

It seems to me that if we wanted a strategy for long term health then the remains of our paleo ancestors are no indication of this. Only the people on this planet now, living healthily well into old age.

I might be wrong....Kent please don't waste time picking apart my words, i'm only human. Let's look at the bigger picture...
