"other books have tried to get the most out of what we were designed to eat, but none have quite been as successful as the evolution diet. cordain and audette both have gotten close to what people in the stone age ate (though not completely), and both have created healthy diets. however, with our wea"

"generally, the info is good- their message about inflammation is interesting and i have been hearing a lot about this (specifically on npr's "science friday"). inflammation is a great tool your body uses to heal, but it can also be detrimental if we allergically respond to things like tra"

"i picked up this book after being thoroughly intrigued by the concept of eating like a cavegirl, and i really liked the ideas espoused throughout, most notably the encouragement to eat foods that aren't processed. unnatural foods like margarin, doughnuts, and energy drinks aren't helpful to our he"

"the possitives are the easy-to-follow magazine-style statistics and the intriguing numbers mr. z comes up with (you'd have to walk up the eiffle tower 2.5 times to burn off the calories in half of a bloomin onion!) . the negatives are that it seems there aren't any rules of thumb--each item is so "
