William's points are well taken. Methodologically sound.

How about,instead of a list of hypothetical diets, something like:
If it did not exist in paleolithic age, it is not paleolithic.
If it does harm it is not paleolithic.
If it destroys nutrients it is not paleolithic.
You might check on the biologist's claim that mammals live to 7 time
their age of maturity; ours is said to be 32, so any so-called food that
would reduce this lifespan (224) is not paleo.
All based solidly on the perfectly disease-free bones of paleoman.
Should be hard core enough for a definition.
