I have a question here. Carrots are Neanderthin, right? Then why aren't beets? I understand why potatoes are not, but do yams and sweet potatoes pose the same risks? I usually throw chopped up
beets in my Vitamix and drink the juice when I feel like I am coming down with something, i.e. cold or flu. It seems to knock it right out or give me that extra push to fight it off. I have read
where research was being done regarding the uses of beets to cure cancer in Canada. I view them to really pack a vitamin punch. What roots and tubers may be considered Paleo? You can eat beets raw,
but are there risks? I think yams and sweet potatoes have to be cooked to be eaten, is that right and would they then put them on a not to be eaten list? Are there any other roots and tubers that
Paleos consider edible, digestible, and safe?
Lynnet, thank you for your response.
Yeah, I do not want to stir up the dairy issue. I am completely dairy free for 1 week and already feel great. I used to "cheat" on my Neanderthin/Paleo diet, every now and then, with cheese. I am
glad I personally have been able to overcome that addiction and found the other day the smell of cheese made me kind of sick.
I also have been experimenting with raw meat. I got some from the Whole Foods Market and just love it. Does anyone feed their children raw meat? My son loves pemmican but I wonder at what age he may
be allowed to partake in raw meat? I am still wary about eating raw meat, but I have such a taste for it.
NeanderTwin,
Kendra
