Tyler Durden who moderates the Raw Paleo Forum seems to have taken my
post to this list without acknowledgment of this list.  He even
included my intro but in quotations:  "Here is part of a Cordian
interview about finding extensive atherosclerosis in an old Inuit
woman from 1520 AD." Note the times posted.  Does this indicate the
level of honesty in their other diet findings?
