Is the penny beginning to drop?... Dedy



From the Guardian [UK] this morning - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/may/09/2 

~ Eating like a caveman may trim the waist and give protection against heart disease, a study suggests. Nine female and five male volunteers were put on a Palaeolithic diet of berries, nuts, lean meat, fish and vegetables while cutting out cereals, dairy products and refined sugar. After three weeks they had lost an average of 2.3kg in weight, their waistlines were slimmer, and their blood pressure was lower. They also had dramatically reduced levels of a blood-clotting agent linked to heart attacks and strokes. The study was carried out by Dr Per Wandell and his team at the Karolinska Institute in Huddinge, Sweden. ~
