Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...
The 30-Day Challenge has ended. So much amazing reader content was sent in that I’ve created a permanent challenge page where you can see contest results and all the wonderful submissions. And remember, you still have until 9:00 a.m. to vote on your favorite Grokfeast. Do it now if you haven’t already!
The HFCS drama continues. First it just wanted to be like all the other sugars. Now it wants to change it’s name. Next it’ll probably go through an emo-goth phase. David Katz chronicles HFCS’s ongoing identity crisis.
Speaking of sugar drama, say what you will about Michael Bloomberg, but the man will not give up his war against soda. We’re currently watching round two of the food stamp slap down.
Hope Bourne is dead. But after reading her obituary in the Telegraph, it sounds like she did one Hell of a job of living.
Almost there… we just need to put these in a bread bowl, top them with croutons, and then they’ll be perfect for young eaters!
Kit Perkins went Primal two months ago. Fair warning, ladies: Swooning may occur after viewing his abtastic results.
I’m all for fighting childhood obesity, but wow, this is one extreme PSA…
Add Paper-Feet to your list of minimalist footwear.
Interesting HuffPost article on HFCS. I think Katz makes an interesting point here that we over-demonize HFCS, when it is not significantly worse than other sugars, and exempting other sugars as a consequence…
The Primal Blueprint Cookbook is also in the vegetarian section at my local Barnes and Noble. I noticed this when it first came out and it disappeared once then reappeared. Maybe a vegetarian bought it.
WHAT is wrong with emo (or goth for that matter)? I have an extremely healthy and happy and primal daughter who is emo. She can do 15 goddamn push-ups on her toes and knuckles while laughing at her mother! Couldn’t possibly look better than in all her black getup! So there! 😀

HAHA! I love the book placement. I bet serialsinner did it 😉
Big thanks for the link!
Good job man!
I’ve missed these weekend link love posts…always lots of interesting things to check out. 🙂
Glad to see the Bourne article placed here, if she’s not Primal, then I don’t know who is!
Mark,
Some research recently showed that fructose uniquely feeds cancer cells. You can go read about this via my website (http://itsofinterest.com/2010/08/06/fructose-feeds-cancer/) or read the abstract at the journal’s homepage here: http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/70/15/6368.abstract
Cheers,

Looking forward to getting some posts by Mark back!

Has anyone read Alan Aragon’s monster post on HFCS? http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/02/19/a-retrospective-of-the-fructose-alarmism-debate/
Michael Gurven was one of my professors once upon a time! Nice work 🙂

Spaghetti tacos… seriously? Someone needs to create a Primal TV show so kids tell there moms to make primal food that they see on tv…
A Primal Cooking show sounds like a fantastic idea!

I actually like the PSA. We need to stop candy-coating it (pun intended).
being the primal actuary that i am, i absolutely loved the Longevity Among Hunter-Gatherers study, legitimately read every word!
I love the psa too! It’s been taken off of youtube in the last few hours, but I found it on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/15213294
I was unaware your book was a low fat cookbook.
Thanks so much for the link! You’re helping Paperfeet take steps in the right direction. Cheers
