So this is a question I've been harboring for the last year......
Can the body differentiate between paleo friendly insulin producing foods vs. neolithic? And is the effect of paleo insulin producing foods as damaging?
The only insulin producing foods I eat are bananas topped with raw almond butter and some cooked yams that I slather with red palm oil. Supposedly Dr. Oz is saying 1 TB per day of unprocessed uncooked extra virgin red palm oil cleans the arterial walls of build up, and helps prevent Alzheimers by keeping the brain's circulatory system unclogged as well... I probably average 1/2 yam per day and a banana every 3rd day. I
have been taking Ultra K-2 daily for the last year.
Will my body be producing arterial crud regardless of whether I'm eating yams/bananas or if I was eating any starchy food like white rice or potatoes?
I'm going for my yearly check up and will report back what my blood profile looks like. Usually I have very low triglycerides and maybe my bad LDL is borderline but my good HDL is always way up there in the great range....
Best,
Batsheva, Cavegirl

Here's What Mike Eades wrote about the diet and health of ancient Egyptians in Epilog of his book "Protein Power";

Only journalists that don't know what hunter-gatherers are. The Egyptians ate plenty of bread. They were the ones that figured out how to leaven it. The Otzi iceman was also eating grains. Note he was only 5,000 years ago.
In summary, the use of "ancient hunter-gatherers" in the article is completely wrong.
