It appears that that the Cuna (kuna) tribe in Panama are long time users
of Cocoa. The benefits of cocoa consumption is significant with respect
to cancer and heart disease. I don't think one can say rationally that
hunter gatherers never touched the stuff and had no use for it.

Personally, I'm a pragmatist when it comes to diet and nutrition which
for me means generally to go with what's best DNA wise and in that
regard I think the paleo diet has a lot going for it ... BUT ... I'm
not about to make a religion out of that given that advances in
knowledge bring benefits above and beyond your basic evolutionary diet
which doesn't have maximum health and longevity as it's objective, but
genetic reproduction.
My interests are in healthy life extension and for that I find benefits
in paleo, CRON, supplements, science, and modern health/science. I
personally don't think it wise to pick one and ignore the rest. Heck,
people with a good set of friends and a bad diet may live longer than a
lonely paleo purest.
