Episode notes

As you move in latitude, what happens is plant food is replaced by more fish food. The average hunter gatherer diet contained more animal food than plant food. This is one hunter gatherers society that's lived for millennia and is still eating the way it used to. And they are pretty much free from chronic disease which is a most important part of this whole equation,. How is that they don't have diabedes or leprosy? They're living in the hirazakas (disappearing) It's fascinating as he mentions that he has an interview with Dug londonh who studies these societies. He says: "I've known dug for a decade

Dr. Cordain is a Professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. His research emphasis over the past 15 years has focused upon the evolutionary and anthropological basis for diet, health and well being in modern humans.Currently, Dr. Cordain's research team is exploring the connection between dietary elements that increase intestinal permeability (primarily saponins and lectins) and autoimmune disease, particularly multiple sclerosis. He has lectured extensively on the "Paleolithic Nutrition" concept world wide, and has written three popular books (The Paleo Diet, John Wiley & Sons; The Paleo Diet for Athletes, Rodale Press; The Dietary Cure for Acne) summarizing his research findings.
