See http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind9811&L=paleodiet&P=R62 The point where he is basic agreement with AHA guidelines is on consumption of highly saturated animal fats, which he regards as disease-causing and not very abundant in a true paleo diet. When fat intake is low, of course, energy needs must be made up by fruits and vegetables. Todd Moody [log in to unmask]
