While Dr. Cohen's diet plan is certainly not Paleo, it's nice to see there
are some general practitioners whose dietary advice is much better than
average (it's nice to see a doctor give any dietary advice at all, for that
matter). Not many doctors advise avoiding all bread and pasta. Dr. Cohen was
my parent's doctor until he moved to a different state.
