Lee Daniel Crocker:
The citations by you below are not in my view useful evidence against
paleodiet theory. Please don't force us all to read each article... instead
please tell us why any one or more of these research articles cited below by
you could refute my case that one should obtain one's calories from
nutrient-rich paleo sources rather than from non-paleo sources. Thanks.
Hint: the nutritional promise of soy (a legume) is in my opinion the most
interesting argument in any case that might be made against the paleodiet
hypothesis. But as a courtesy to you I will tell you up-front that I've
already investigated this subject.
