I agree. Personally, I am an omnivore. I know very little about nutrition, but I do know a lot about other things. Did paleoists check how people actually looked like in paleo time?

I know it's a symbol, but something tells me that paleo men did want their women to be fertile and didn't set the weight goal (90 pounds and not a single pound more). I also doubt that paleo women had this goal (90 and no more) if a different ideal was in the air.

I've always wondered the same thing....wouldn't women be more likely to be on the fatter side than "naturally lean"?
-
Probably leaner side for part of the year, fatter in other seasons, due to shortage of food.
-
the goal certainly would've been for chubbier women.

Not necessarily Paleo other than being on MDA, but there's enough craziness in the last 80-odd pages of the iodine thread to last a lifetime.

There are that many now! I started to read it, reached page 5 or 6, started to watch some video where a medical doctor conflated Copernicus with Galileo right at the beginning and got discouraged. But I am trying to remember to add some kombu to soups.

That thread just got locked, FWIW.

Oh thank GOD for that. Hope they don't start a new one. They should take their craziness, nutjob conspiracies and ridiculous 'protocols' over to yahoo and stay there.

i could be wrong, but i think that specific one was started to discuss iodine [I]without[/I] the crazies.

[QUOTE=Grumpycakes;916936]Everyone who has been investigating paleo for over a month is suddenly a molecular biologist.[/QUOTE]
Hahahha! Best comment. As a former chemist who worked in the molecular biology field, it is actually entertaining to read some of these threads when they go awry. I might have a degree in chemistry but I didn't get training in nutrition. I do think many people mean well in trying to post journal articles on nutrition and health, but when people get militant and argumentative, I generally don't even take their journal references seriously.
