Sites by Individuals

* Introduction to the Paleolithic Diet is Ben Balzer's page. He is a
family physician in Australia. Probably the clearest introduction on
the web.

* Second Opinions is a site by Barry Groves, PhD. It includes many
articles exposing dietary and medical misinformation. A selection of
them: The Na•ve Vegetarian is a long article covering various diets
with a focus on pointing out the fallacies of vegetarianism. The
Cholesterol Myth points out there is no evidence that eating
cholesterol is bad. Does Animal Fat Really Cause Cancer? points out
that an examination of a couple of studies that came out in July 2003
does not support the claims that media is making for them.
Polyunsaturated Oils and Cancer argues that polyunsaturated oils
increase cancer risk. William Banting: The Father of the
Low-Carbohydrate Diet is a history of the first low carb diet, which
was also paleo.

* Paleolithic Nutrition: Your Future Is In Your Dietary Past is an
article Jack Challem wrote for Nutrition Science News: April 1997.

* An Interview with Ward Nicholson now has three parts on the web. Good
overview of man's diet over the past 65 million years. Long but highly
recommended reading. First published in Chet Day's "Health & Beyond"
newsletter. Now part of a very comprehensive Beyond Vegetarianism site.
Every argument that your vegetarian friends use to avoid meat for
health reasons is debunked here.

* Tamir Katz's Paleolithic Diet Information page has been put up by a
medical student at SUNY Stony Brook. He has a knack of clearly and
directly explaning things. Excellent for friends and relatives of paleo
eaters who are wondering why you eat weirdly.

* Neanderthin (Paleo) eating is Vad's page where he tries to sum up,
super concentrated, what this whole thing is about. Includes menus,
weight loss, and more.

* In On the Benefits of Ancient Diets Staffan Lindeberg discusses how the
Western diet causes health problems. Also an overview of his Kitava
study. Staffan now has a home page Utbildningarom prevention, though
initially only in Swedish.

* Living Longer, yes! But living well? by Dr. Anthony G. Payne is a
general article that also gets into a paleo diet.

* A diet high in phytic acid, which can be found in whole grains (it's in
the bran) and beans like soy, is very detrimental for mineral
absorption. Phytic acid strongly binds to minerals like calcium, iron,
zinc and magnesium to form insoluble salts, phytates, which precipitate
from the body. Staffan Lindeberg has written a summary on phytic acid.

* Two common foods clearly are Neolithic and avoiding them is key to a
paleo diet. Here are link pages for avoiding them: Gluten-Free Page and
No-Milk Page.

* There are some disorders that can be controlled somewhat by using a
paleo diet. Here are link pages on three of them: Autism and Multiple
Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

* JoAnn Betten of the PaleoFood mailing list and I have collected many
recipes at www.PaleoFood.com. All have no grains, no gluten, no dairy,
no beans/legumes, no refined sugar, or other Neolithic foods.

* Ashton Embry has an essay Paleolithic Nutrition and Multiple Sclerosis
and another Paleolithic Nutrition. He's the leading proponent on the
Net for using dietary intervention to control MS.

* The Evolution of Human Nutrition by Barry Bogin is interesting reading
which covers themes like homo erectus and up to date findings, and the
relation to nutrition.

* In William Calvin's The Ascent of Mind, Chapter 8 he discusses why he
thinks that the Acheulian hand-ax (the oldest of the fancy stone tools
of Homo erectus) was really a "killer frisbee." He argues that natural
selection for throwing accuracy, which requires brain machinery, is the
evolutionary scenario for bootstrapping higher intellectual functions.
There are many more articles about evolution and human development
throughout William's extensive site.

* Pemmican: Recipes, Stories and Stores is a link page with more on this
than you've seen before.

* Lynne Olver at the Morris County Library has assembled The food
timeline, which gives you the history of Neolithic foods. Includes
paleo foods, like animal domestication and when some foods where first
noted in the literature.

* Eating is an essay by Todd Moody.

* The Meat, Leaves and Berries Page is a "paleo" like diet put up by Dan
John. But dairy products are allowed. Couldn't tell much, as many pages
came up blank with ActiveX turned off.

* Dental Microwear Web Site is on the study of the microscopic scratches
and pits that form on a tooth's surface as the result of its use. See
the page on references. Some are evidences of past diet.

* Mary G. Enig, Ph.D., an expert of international renown in the field of
lipid chemistry, has a Trans Fat InfoWeb Page. A simple introduction to
trans fatty acids. Trans Fatty Acid Fact Sheet is a short page listing
the negative highlights of this food.

* Factors that Inhibit Calcium Absorption is an article pointing out the
non-paleo things we do, mostly food related, that are negative for
calcium absorption.

* The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov, M.D., Ph.D. argues that too
much animal fat being dangerous is a myth. This is a collection of
essays, complete with the critical references.

* The Cholesterol Myth is an article by Thomas J. Moore from his book,
Heart Failure. Argues that diet has hardly any effect on your
cholesterol level; the drugs that can lower it often have serious or
fatal side effects; and there is no evidence at all that lowering your
cholesterol level will lengthen your life.

* Dr. Joseph Mercola has an extensive web site on alternatives to
traditional medicine. A hodge podge of different things. On his Low
Grain Guide To Health he has a few that are relevant to paleo eating.
At bottom take link to his Sugar Index Page. Also see The Health
Benefits of Grassfed Animal Products. Also see Low Grain and
Carbohydrate Diets Treat Hypoglycemia, Heart Disease, Diabetes Cancer
and Nearly ALL Chronic Illness. Also see: Caveman Cuisine by Sally
Fallon and Mary G. Enig, PhD.

* There is ample evidence that grain consumption is behind many cancers.
Here is a quick analysis of the connection.

* Jack Challem has written Alpha-Lipoic acid: Quite Possibly the
"Universal" Antioxidant and meat is the best source.

traditional South African dried meat.

* Brett Saks, B.S., D.C. has a page The Adverse Effects of Wheat and
Other Grains. Based on his clinical experiences.

* Chet Day sent a copy of the article by Robert Crayhon (Interview with
Loren Cordain) to the Rea Centre in London, a place claiming to be
proponents of a paleo diet. You can check out their counterpoint at
Hunter Gatherer Paradigm Examined in New Light. It argues that our
ancestors were not big meat eaters. Argues that since men are the
scientists that hunting has been exaggerated out of proportion, and
that gathering was the primary source of food. Chet Day also asked some
questions and created The Rea Center Interview: Paleo Nutrition,
Veganism, and More. Incredibly wordy with little content.

* Philip Thrift has a page on Principles of Paleofitness. He follows
NeanderThin and works out daily before eating.

* Blindness, Mad Cow Disease and Canola Oil by John Thomas points out the
negatives of canola oil.

* The Venison Processing FAQ covers everything from choosing your target
to recipes.

* The Paleolithic Diet is Bob Hodgen's story of his experiences on
NeanderThin. Includes short explanation.

* Krispin Sullivan has written The Lectin Report. A good place to start
to learn about these toxic proteins in Neolithic foods.

* Aquatic Ape Theory is a site covering all links on the subject. (The
theory argues that humans evolved along the water's edge, but such
evidence is now covered by the oceans.)

* Buried in the middle of The Revised Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen for
Effecting Lysis in Solid Tumors one can find their diet recommendations
for tumor control. It has a paleo diet orientation. Protein is 35%,
preferably Omega 3 rich. Carbohydrates (also 35%) are only vegetables
and fruit, no beans, bread, potatoes, or any grain. Then dietary and
supplemental forms of fat should provide 20-30% of (daily) calories.

* WWW.PALEODIET.NU is a site in Swedish put up by Niclas Larsson. He has
plans to grow the site.

* Aletheia Price has Edible Insects. Very comprehensive. Read the "About
the Author."

several insect recipes and other foods that a Paleolithic dieter may
have eaten.

* Zachary Huang has put up his Bug-Eating Page. Mostly pictures of people
eating giant silkworms and mealworms. Also see his other links.

* Vad Sr Paleodiet? is a site in Swedish put up by Hans Kylberg.

narrow-spectrum, focal resource base (one, maybe two animal species
depending on location - e.g., reindeer in north; limited range of small
game; few if any plants). Long and technical.

* Underwater storage techniques preserved meat for early hunters
demonstrates how PaleoIndians living in the Great Lakes region at the
end of the last Ice Age preserved meat from large animal kills by
storing it underwater.

* Flints and Stones: Real Life in Prehistory is an exhibition at the
Museum of Antiquities on the world of the late stone age hunter
gatherers in Britain. Only three pages are food related: The hunter
gatherer way of life is heavy on the tools used in Britain. Tasks and
activities around the home fire has some on food processing. Could you

over the years.

* Stone Age Habitats hasn't much to do with food, but there is mention of
cooking hearths, and a couple nice graphs. But for some reason the time
lines are flipped.

* Fattening cattle with corn changes the lipid balance and is clearly not
the natural diet for a grass eating cow. In Simple change in cattle
diets could cut E. coli infection researchers have found that when
cattle were fed hay or grass for just five days before slaughter, much
less E. Coli cells were present in the animal's feces and virtually all
surviving E. coli bacteria were not acid-resistant and were killed by
human stomach acid.

argue that the shift to cultivation and animal domestication was due to
the "comfort" derived from the opioid peptides from gluten. And John
