someon would have to read the full study to get the details on quantities.
Paleo man from northern climes would have access to fruit about 6 weeks of
the year. this leaves 46 weeks to be in ketosis [there being no viable other
source of carbs available]. a large amount in a short time may be less
harmful than eating moderate amounts every day of the year.
