RE: The Bad Science Behind the Paleo Diet
That obsession with "healthy", historical way of living and "unhealthy", modern way is an interesting phenomenon.
We have never lived longer, records in sports are constantly improving *(not counting those boy-like girls from Eastern Germany) and... Just remember how 60-years old people used to look like 30 years ago. I remember them is almost dead. Today, 60 years old people are just fine, active, full of life. They have 25+ years!
Well we're all lifehackers now, trying to find that small thing that might give us an edge. There's wisdom, I think, in how people used to eat. Traditional recipes unwittingly combining ingredients to yield a complete protein (like rice + lentils in Moutzentra) is one example.
A lot more research these days is being done on how foods combine with one another, rather than just on their individual nutrients. Fun stuff!
