Of course it is true that many of them died early - so would we do if we
didn't have treatments against parasites and infections and childbirth; just
like people do in other countries. In Afganistan for instance life
expectancy is 42 years. The issue is, I think that they did not die from
diseases inflicted by the food they ate. It stands to reason that if we
believe that people ate meat from animals then it cannot be dangerous to eat
saturated fat and if we believe that wild game was not very fat then it is
very likely good not to eat to much of saturated fat.
