I got into paleo foods because of high blood pressure. It returns to
normal IF I stay on the diet.
What I was saying today is how the research and science books are so
dense and even contradictory, that they cannot be relied on. What seems
to make sense to me is to see what works: in my case, what lowers my bp.
Report on that and allow people to try it. Since everyone is different,
"results may vary."
In my field of foreign language teaching, we are rived (I prefer
'riven', but spell check prefers 'rived') by disputes over what the
research shows. Many teachers just try a variety of methods to see what
results in students actually using the language.
So my guess is that diet and its effects are every bit as complex as
language and language acquisition. We just see what works for us.

...The answer, which many will find surprising, is that
after over fifty years of international data there is
not good scientific support for the claim that lifestyle
changes prevent diseases or increase longevity.



I'm not sure I'd agree. There is evidence in rodent studies that calorie
reduction and intermittent fasting can prolong life and prevent
diseases. It's why I fast every day and only eat at night.
