Professor Loren Cordain has touted it’s health benefits in many of the world’s best scientific journals. He claims it can lead to ideal body weight, optimum health, and peak athletic performance as well as lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, acne, gastrointestinal disease, autoimmune diseases, and more.
Acceptable foods include meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruit, berries, and mushrooms. Oils should be from fruits (olive, oil palm, avocado) or tree nuts (coconut, walnut, almond, hazelnut, pecan, macadamia). Water is the only acceptable beverage and raw honey is the only acceptable sweetener.
