Hi.
I just started eating paleo about a month ago (aside from a few lapses into
grains, which, predictably enough, started an addictive spiral of sugar and
grain eating until I had to cut myself off again....).

Whenever I try to explain to people what I am doing, they either dismiss it
as "dangerous nonsense," or say that there is absolutely no research to back
it up. They also point out that primitive man had a life expectancy of 30,
blah, blah, blah, but I have this one covered by mentioning the living in
cold and damp caves, being gored by mammoths, etc...

My question is this: Are there any good, reputable, but basic scientific
articles that support the paleo principles? I know of some that support
high-fat-low-carb eating, but not of any that are specifically
paleo-oriented.

Does anyone?

Thanks,
susan
