You're right.  I had forgotten about the apparent schizophrenia there.  He
gives those recommendations one one hand, then proclaims that one could
live indefinitely on pemmican alone on the other hand.

As a matter of fact, it's that sentence ("Your primary sources of fat should be olive oil, avocados, LEAN MEATS,
seafood (especially fatty fish), MUFA rich nuts, omega 3 enriched eggs,
and flaxseed oil") that I pasted into my handheld computer for dietary
guidance a couple of years back.  I forgot that it was Ray that said it.
I've been trying to follow it religiously.  It is signature Cordain, I'll
agree.

I cannot tell you the well being I've experienced since I've upped my
intake of saturated fats!  With very low level of the stuff, I believe my
immune system had been suppressed to the point that I've developed thrush
three times in the last two years -- a malady usually reserved for AIDs
patients, cancer patients, as well as the very young and very old.
Granted, the thrush was a result of other factors too -- dietary cheating
with grains, red wine, sunburn, having a cold.  But I'm certain the lack
of saturated fats was the biggest factor.  You'll remember, I've also
struggled with alcohol for the first time EVER the last two years.  No
stops when I drink a glass of wine (or six!)  Now, with my greatly
increased intake of sat fats, I get a stop at one glass.
