Me too, but we have travelled into paleotech or paleobelief, which while 
fundamental to paleofood may be considered offtopic.

I think that paleofolk were hard headed realists, and made intelligent 
choices of what to eat. Since we inherited paleowit, we can use it to 
cope with neolithic environmental conditions, such as poor quality food 
that demands supplements such as the presumably bio-absorbable minerals 
in cacao.

I do not believe that they were fooled by such as Louis Pasteur with his 
nutty germ theory of infection.
