    While there is some good info there that goes against
    the mainstream garbage there is still plenty of flawed
    info as well. I would not recommend that site for the
    average person who is ignorant about real nutrition.

    There is some interesting info on the site but when I see
    them repeat, by rote, the dietary fat recommendations of the
    American Heart Association and the American Diabetes
    Association they lose a lot of credibility as a source of
    nutritional information.

    Plenty, such as the saturated fat/cholesterol dogma. As
    well as the distortions and plain lies about paleo diets.
    Claiming that they ate lean meats is just ideological
    politically correct spin.

    -Avoid butter, cheese and cream. -Eat skinless poultry. -Eat
    only lean poultry parts (ex: chicken and turkey breast). -
    Eat only lean cuts of red meat (these are often the cheaper
    cuts of red meat). -Avoid fried meat - use cooking methods
    that drive fat out of the meat, like grilling.

    Recommendations like that are absolutely absurd and go
    against the reality of paleo diets wich they try to
    promot as heatlhy (and a REAL paleo/hunter gatherer diet
    is) at the same time distorting it with that flawed
    politically correct spin that seems straight from the
    mouth of institutions such as the AMA. By the
    discriptions on that site it would almost seem that
    ancient people followed modern politically correct
    nutrition so well that they had some sort of cave man
    AMA dictating their dietary habits. What a joke.
    Skinless pultry??? lean cuts of meat?? As if wise and
    knowledgable "primitives" wasted one ounce of their
    animal foods?? "Primitive" peoples always sought out the
    fattiest parts of the fattiest animals killed at the
    time of year that they were at the peak of fat content.
    For example:

    "Politically correct paleodieters also ignore the fact that
    the Indians hunted animals selectively. The explorer
    Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who spend many years with the
    Indians, noted that they preferred "the flesh of older
    animals to that of calves, yearlings and two-year olds. . .
    It is approximately so with those northern forest Indians
    with whom I have hunted, and probably with all caribou-
    eaters." The Indians preferred the older animals because
    they had built up a thick slab of fat along the back. In an
    animal of 1000 pounds, this slab could weigh 40 to 50
    pounds. Another 20-30 pounds of highly saturated fat could
    be removed from the cavity. This fat was saved, sometimes by
    rendering, stored in the bladder or large intestine, and
    consumed with dried or smoked lean meat. Used in this way,
    fat contributed almost 80 percent of total calories in the
    diets of the northern Indians."

    Not to mention that many of the "worms bugs and nuts"
    they mention can be as much as 80% fat. Australian
    Aborigines rilied heavily on a veriety of instects and
    small animals going to great lengths to obtain enough
    fat in their diets. For example:

    "The Australian continent provides plentiful animal foods –
    land mammals, birds, reptiles, seafood and insects – plus a
    bewildering variety of plant foods. Conditions were lush in
    the subtropical areas along the coasts, and extremely harsh
    in the desert interior. Nevertheless, bushmen of the arid
    regions exhibited the same robust good health as their
    brothers living in the coastal forests. Each clan stayed
    within its own prescribed area, except to participate in
    certain religious ceremonies or to share in particularly
    bountiful harvests of foods like shellfish or nuts. Coastal
    groups built more or less permanent shelters and moved as a
    group only to take advantage of certain seasonal food
    supplies. Desert tribes were more wandering; they had larger
    territories and moved about according to the location of
    water and game.

    The men were responsible for hunting large game, birds and
    fish. They generally hunted the kangaroo in groups. A number
    spread out to herd the animals towards a net that they
    stretched across a pocket in the forest or brush near the
    animals' feeding area. Another group concealed itself near
    the net to catch the game with spears or clubs. In open
    country, the animals were tracked and speared while they
    were resting in the shade of a tree during the hot part of
    the day.11 Smaller marsupials, such as the wallaby, paddy-
    melon, bandicoot and kangaroo rat, were also hunted. In the
    arid central regions, such small game has been replaced in
    part by rabbits. Echidna – the spiny anteater – is also
    hunted for its meat.

    The Aborigines did not hunt at night, but extracted
    nocturnal animals such as possum and koala bear – both
    prized foods – from their daytime resting places in various
    ingenious ways. The Aborigines would first detect the
    presence of the animal by its smell, claw marks or
    droppings, and confirm its presence by inserting a stick or
    frond tipped with honey into the hollow tree or log serving
    as a lair. If hairs stuck to the honey, they knew the
    animal was there. They extracted it either by climbing a
    tree to drag out the animal or by smoking it out of its
    resting place.

    Bats such as the flying fox and grey glider were so numerous
    in certain places that they blocked out the stars and moon
    when they flew. They were caught during the day as they
    slept in the scrub. Two or three people carrying about a
    dozen small clubs would climb trees where the bats were
    sleeping. Standing on branches, they would frighten the bats
    and throw the clubs at them as they flew away.

    Reptiles such as goannas (iguanas), lizards, frogs and
    snakes also found a place in the Aboriginal diet, as did
    birds of all sizes – emus, turkeys, swans, ducks, parrots
    and cockatoos. To catch flying birds such as parrots, the
    Aborigines set nets across trees. Boomerangs were thrown
    above the flock. Thinking these were hawks, the birds dived
    down and were caught in the nets. In the summer, hunters
    would capture ducks by submerging themselves up to their
    necks in water holes, holding small branches to hide their
    heads. When a duck came close, the hunter would grasp its
    legs and drown it. Fish were speared or poisoned by adding
    certain poisonous plants to the water. When they rose to the
    surface, they could be captured by hand.

    The great challenge for the Aborigine was to obtain enough
    dietary fat. They were close observers of nature and knew
    just when certain animals were at their fattest. For
    example, kangaroos were fat when the fern leaf wattle was in
    flower; possums when the apple tree was in bloom. Other
    signs indicated when the carpet snake, kangaroo rat,
    mussels, oysters, turtles and eels were fat and at their
    best.11 Except in times of drought or famine, the Aborigine
    rejected kangaroos that were too lean – they were not worth
    carrying back to camp.1 During periods of abundance "animals
    were slaughtered ruthlessly, and only the best and fattest
    parts of the killed game were eaten."7 Favorite foods were
    fat from the intestines of marsupials and from emus.7 Highly
    saturated kidney fat from the possum was often eaten raw.5
    The dugong, a large seagoing mammal, was another source of
    fat available to natives on the coasts.

    Other sources of fat included eggs – from both birds and
    reptiles – and a great variety of insects. Chief among
    them was the witchety grub, or moth larva, found in
    rotting trunks of trees. These succulent treats – often
    over six inches long – were eaten both raw and cooked. Fat
    content of the dried grub is as high as 67%. The green
    tree ant was another source of valuable fat, with a fat-to-
    protein ration of about 12 to one. Another important
    seasonal food in some parts of the country was the begong
    moth. The moths were knocked off rock walls on which they
    gathered in large numbers, or smoked out of caves or
    crevices. They were roasted on the spot or ground up for
    future use. Moth abdomens are the size of a small peanut
    and are rich in fat.4"

    Other assertions like prehistoric diets being based on
    fruits and vegetables is just plain wrong:

    Dr. Boyd Eaton published the Paleolithic Prescription in
    which he argues that the cave man diet was low in fat,
    particularly saturated fat, low in salt and rich in
    dietary fiber from plant foods. His Paleolithic
    prescription for optimum health is, in fact, very much
    akin to the so-called prudent diet of the American Heart
    Association....The cave man, it seems, thriving on a
    diet of lean venison along with roots, shoots and
    fruits, was altogether politically correct in his low-
    fat dietary habits.(sound familiar?)

    Or was he? In a recently published collection of essays, Ice
    Age Hunters of the Rocky Mountains, we learn that the hunter-
    gatherers of the North American continent ate the following
    animals: mammoth, camel, sloth, bison, mountain sheep, small
    mammals including beaver, pronghorn antelope, elk, mule
    deer, horse, llama and large members of the dog family.
    Mammoth, sloth, mountain sheep, bison and beaver are fatty
    animals in the modern sense in that they have a thick layer
    of subcutaneous fat, as do the many species of bear and wild
    pig whose remains have been found at Paleolithic sites
    throughout the world. The bison and camel have humps
    composed largely of tallow. Furthermore, if the dietary
    patterns of present day African hunter-gatherers can serve
    as a guide, the Paleolithic hunter preferred the fatty
    portions of the carcass including organs, brains, tongue,
    feet and marrow. Archeological remains indicate that whereas
    meat from game carcasses was often left uneaten, the long
    bones were carried back into camps and chopped into pieces
    so that the marrow could be extracted. Organ meats were
    eaten immediately—and often raw—but muscle meat was
    preserved by drying, or by mixing it with tallow to make
    pemmican. Some investigators believe that the cave mans's
    preference for the fatty portions of his kill led to
    profligate practices—wasteful killing of mammoths simply to
    extract their fatty tongues, for example—and that selective
    hunting of the fattier animals was a prime factor leading to
    the extinction of large mammals such as mammoths, sloths and
    rhinoceros.

    Bones of the bear predominate in many European sites.
    Archeologist Myra Shakley reports on an important
    Neanderthal site in Hungary where 90 percent of the remains
    were those of bear. Whole carcasses were brought to the
    site—not just portions as was the case for other animals—and
    the manner in which the carcasses were cut up suggests that
    the skins were removed. Obviously the pelts were used to
    protect the hunter-gatherer from the severe climate. The
    subcutaneous fat would not have been wasted; in fact, it
    could have been used for preserving other foods. Altars
    containing bear skulls found in caves in the Swiss Alps, and
    dated back as far as 75,000 years, indicated that the bear
    was worshiped as a sacred animal.

    Present-day hunter-gatherers, as well as those of the
    ancient past, possess greater dietary wisdom than the
    majority of our modern Ph.D.'s. (an amazingly true statment)
    They understood that a diet of lean meat, lacking in fat,
    was the surest route to weakness, disease and death.
    Steffanson, who studied the Eskimos and Indians of the far
    north, reports that when lean caribou was the only meat
    available, anxiety set in. These natives knew that a month
    or more on such meat, without the addition of marine animals
    or fatty fish, would make them sick and prone to disease.
    The ancient tribes of the American West would not eat female
    bison in the Spring because nursing and pregnant bison cows
    burned off their fat reserves during the winter months. In
    fact, most bison hunts occurred in the late Summer and Fall
    when the bison were naturally fattened on the ripe grain of
    prairie grasses. Anthropologist Leon Abrams reports that the
    Aborigine will throw away a kangaroo he has killed if he
    discovers that its carcass does not contain sufficient fat.
    Members of Randolph Marcy's 1856 expedition to Wyoming grew
    weak and sick consuming a politically correct low-fat regime
    of six pounds of lean horse and mule meat per day; Dr.
    Wolfgang Lutz reports that a very efficient way of
    eliminating jailed political prisoners in South and Central
    America is to feed them a diet composed exclusively of lean
    meat. They soon develop severe diarrhea and succumb. The
    explanation is that fats contain nutrients like vitamin A
    that the body needs to utilize the amino acids and minerals
    in flesh foods; without fat in the diet, the body rapidly
    uses up its own stores of fat soluble vitamins. When these
    vital nutrients are depleted, the human organism can no
    longer fight off disease.

    Was the cave man diet simply rich in unsaturated fats, but
    low in saturated fats? Antelope and caribou fat is over 50%
    saturated—about the same as beef—and mountain sheep fat
    would be the similar. Buffalo fat is 56% saturated—more
    saturated than beef! All ruminant animals contain lots of
    saturated fat because the protozoa in their capacious guts
    do an efficient job of saturating the oils found in plant
    foods—whether these oils come from dried hay or green grass,
    from feedlot corn or the ripe grains of prairie grasses. (Of
    course naturally-fed meat is richer in vitamins and
    minerals.) The bison were hunted in the late Summer and Fall
    when their fat stores would have been highest. Grazing
    animals spend several months eating the carbohydrate-rich
    seeds of wild grasses, which begin to ripen as early as the
    month of May—grain fattening in feedlots merely mimics this
    natural process.

    Camel fat, from the kind of animal the Neanderthals
    apparently hunted to extinction, is a whooping 63%
    saturated! Wild boar fat is about 41% saturated, exactly the
    same as lard from a domestic pig. Kidney fat—which modern
    man avoids but which the cave man would have eaten—is highly
    saturated. Buffalo kidney fat is 58% saturated, antelope
    kidney fat is 65% saturated, elk kidney fat is 62% saturated
    and mountain goat kidney fat is 66 % saturated. Caribou
    marrow has a preponderance of monounsaturated fat, and a
    small amount of polyunsaturated, but still contains more
    than 27% saturated fat. Figures for elephant tongue are
    unavailable but beef tongue is 45% saturated. Bears, which
    yield 48% of their kilocalories as fat, have a preponderance
    of monounsaturated fat, the same kind found in olives,
    almonds and other nuts.

    Seafood in coastal regions would also have provided fat for
    primitive man, particularly the valuable omega-3 fatty
    acids; insects, grubs and worms are a source of additional
    fat in all regions except the arctic.

    So the high-fat proponents are the most likely winners of
    the great Paleolithic fat debate; but they are probably
    wrong in their assertions that plant foods, particularly
    grains, are new to the human diet. Remains of plant foods at
    Paleolithic sites include seeds, berries, roots, leaves and
    bulbs. Sunflower seeds, prickly pear seeds, amaranth seeds
    and limber pine seeds have been found at Rocky Mountain
    sites. Various types of nuts were consumed by primitives in
    the Americas and on the European continent. The amount of
    plant food in the cave man diet varied according to the
    climate and locality. Obviously plant foods were minimal in
    the diets of those in arctic climates, but played a large
    role in tropical regions. Nuts, of course, provided
    additional fat. The pecan, consumed in large quantities by
    the Indians of the Southeast, contains 85% of calories as
    fat. In tropical regions, palm nuts and coconuts provide
    large quantities of saturated fats.

    Present day hunter-gatherers employ special preparation
    methods for carbohydrate-rich foods. Acorns, for example,
    are soaked in water and lye to remove tannins; tubers are
    buried in the ground, pounded or cooked in hearth ashes;
    seeds are soaked, pounded and allowed to ferment in various
    ways. It is safe to assume that the ancient hunter-gatherers
    employed similar techniques to neutralize the many enzyme
    inhibitors, irritants and mineral blocking substances found
    in tubers and seeds. In fact, a large portion of the
    primitive woman's day was spent in just such
    preparations—pounding, soaking, sieving, souring and putting
    the finishing touches on various types of root and seed
    foods. The men, on the other hand, divided their time
    between dangerous hunting forays, in which physical stamina
    and strength was at a premium, and periods of idleness when
    they would work on their weapons—and gossip.

    So the comparison of the human digestive tract with that of
    the dog, while interesting, does not tell the whole story.
    Man can benefit from the many nutrients in plant foods as
    long as he takes care in their preparation. Primitive plant
    preparation methods—pounding, soaking, and
    fermenting—imitate the time-consuming processes that take
    place in the sheep's digestive tract, beginning with his
    flat grinding molars and ending with the fermentative
    bacteria in his lower bowel. The Paleolithic hunter-gatherer
    had the good sense not only to eat the fattier portions of
    meat, but to prepare his plant foods correctly. Modern man,
    particularly the modern professor of nutrition, does not.

    Those are a few examples of the flaws in the info from
    that site. However as I said there is plenty of very
    good info on there but like many other sources of good,
    acurate nutritional information there is usualy mixed
    into it elements of flawed politically correct dogma,
    mainly lowfat/low cholesterol BS. Aside from that it is
    a pretty good site. I am sure Hugh could add some
    valuable info to this discussion as he seems very
    knowledgable in this area.

    traditional diets:

    Also I am sure Hugh could add some valuable info to this
    discussion and hope he does as he seems very knowledgable in
    this area.

    They are??? So this IS more pro-Atkins rubbish. Anybody who
    hunts and cooks game knows the difference between lean wild
    meat and the fatty stuff in stores, even if you don't. Paleo
    man didn't go to McDonalds.

    Sorry, but I think the AMA has a little more credibilty on
    this subject, particularly in light of the recent study that
    shows the high fat Atkins diet doesn't do as well as normal
    diets over the longer term.

    The AMA has no credibility at all. You are just one of
    the ignorant masses who blindly follows every word from
    the so called authorities and powers that be as if they
    are looking out for your well being for some reason.
    They count on such stupidity and blind support like
    yours. It is sad. You need a reality check.

    about paleo diets. Claiming that they ate lean
    meats is just ideological politically correct spin.

    -Avoid butter, cheese and cream. -Eat skinless
    poultry. -Eat only lean poultry parts (ex: chicken and
    turkey breast). -Eat only lean cuts of red meat (these
    are often the cheaper cuts of red meat). -Avoid fried
    meat - use cooking methods that drive fat out of the
    meat, like grilling.

    Recommendations like that are absolutely absurd

    They are??? So this IS more pro-Atkins rubbish. Anybody
    who hunts and cooks game knows the difference between
    lean wild meat and the fatty stuff in stores, even if
    you don't. Paleo man didn't go to McDonalds.

    Sorry, but I think the AMA has a little more credibilty
    on this subject, particularly in light of the recent
    study that shows the high fat Atkins diet doesn't do as
    well as normal diets over the longer term.

    The AMA has no credibility at all. You are just one of
    the ignorant masses who blindly follows every word
    from the so called authorities and powers that be as
    if they are looking out for your well being for some
    reason. They count on such stupidity and blind support
    like yours. It is sad. You need a reality check.

    Hah, what a joke. Wolfdroppings, the AMA, for all its
    faults, is an organization representing highly trained
    professionals with a long history and a stake in public
    health and nedicine.

    Snakeoil shills come and go - why don't you go, loser.

    There is some interesting info on the site but when I see
    them repeat, by rote, the dietary fat recommendations of
    the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes
    Association they lose a lot of credibility as a source of
    nutritional information.

    Here's another take:

    That site is like the
    home.earthlink.net5 Diet.htm one in
    that it says there is a distinction between good fat versus
    bad fat. I think some are saying there isn't and that people
    should eat lots of fat.
