Refined sugar is not paleo.   In fact, refined _______ is not paleo.

Paleo is any food that someone could eat if they only had a sharpened stick.

Sugar is thus not paleo, because it requires machines to create.

Grains are not paleo, because they are inedible without being processed by
machines.

Paleo does not have distinctions like more or less harmful - something either
is paleo or it is not.

ALL of these other distinctions come from using OTHER theories, which is often
done in this list in addition to paleo.
