I find it weird the promotion of paleo, in that there's nothing to suggest ancestral hominids lived extended lifespans
you just don't find fossils of elderly hominids, leading some scientists to postulate that post-menopausal survival is a relatively recent adaption. Diets of creatures that don't live to old age don't need to be protective of diseases that tend to strike in old age. Who cares about cholesterol if by 35 they've already picked out a burial spot for you? Have another mammoth burger, grandpa, it could be your last.

It sells books/blogs, history is just his-story at lot of the time.

Yarp. Paleo is just another diet fad, I've heard no serious scientist or nutitionist suggest otherwise.
