If we consider the fact that the age of puberty in women in the
U.S. has gone from 17 to 13 in the last 100 years as our
consumption of complex carbohydrates has gone up, and the fact
that h/g women experience considerably longer intervals between
children, we might suppose that the paleodiet could be an
important part of the solution to the problem.
