It's always seemed perfectly primal to me. Sugar in a cure makes for a *very* small amount of sugar in the meat, well within the 100-150g (and even 50g) per day.

Hmmm, my girlfriend makes gravlax every year around Christmas time, never uses sugar though. Salt, white pepper and dill.
If that's not primal, I don't know what is. Now eating it on rye bread with margarine, OTOH....

"dean ornish and dr. davis think the palmitic acid our bodies use for fuel while we sleep is poison if we eat it. zero-carbers like charles washington think the oldest fuel in our evolutionary history – glucose - used by organisms a billion years ago and without which the brains of modern mammals cannot survive for more than a few minutes – is an unnatural toxin if you eat it. both views ignore basic facts of medical physiology and defy evolutionary history." - kurt harris
