Hi

I don't know if the subject title is an expression with any meaning 
whatsoever in English. But what I have on my mind is this: foods that, 
albeit paleo, must be used or handled with caution. Are there any such 
foods?

I know and have followed myself several nutritional systems. Many of them 
warn against the use of certain foods. They tell you that it's ok to eat 
them, but only in moderation or only under certain circumstances. I have 
never seen anything of the sort (no such advice) in paleo. Or maybe I 
haven't read enough yet.

This has nothing to do with occasional cheats, such as goat's cheese or 
pumpernickel that a few bolder paleos may eat once in a blue moon. I am 
talking about foods that are essentially paleo but must be used with 
caution.

Actually I've read posts warning against lean meats or too much protein in 
your diet, but these were so to say rather officious warnings. 

Maybe nuts also fall into this category. They are certainly paleo, but 
lots of people have difficulty digesting them. Or maybe cooked foods in 
general?

Briefly, my question is this: what paleo foods, if any, must be used with 
parsimony? And why?

If such foods really exist, this might show an internal contradiction of 
paleo, but I think that it's quite healthy for any system (or philosophy 
or whatever) to contain contradictions. That's a way for them to become 
more humanlike.
