Cordain is an apologist for the lipid theory, the cholesterol theory, and
the AMA/AHA. His book is an infomercial designed to snowjob the public

wading through it myself (to write a review of it) ... and I keep waiting
for Richard Simmons to pop out.
Do yourself a favor and instead read Weston Price, Mary Enig, Sally Fallon,
Boyd Eaton... And follow the links you find from there. I've got a few for
starters:
