Abstract in brief

  • The article explores the diet of Paleolithic humans, focusing on what they ate based on archaeological and anthropological evidence.
  • It discusses how their nutrition mainly consisted of wild plants, fruits, nuts, and lean meats, with a high intake of fiber and natural foods.
  • The text also considers how modern dietary habits differ from Paleolithic times and examines potential health implications, suggesting that returning to some aspects of Paleolithic nutrition could benefit current health.]

@sonja_grimm @ARCHAEOfelix @DGronenborn They base intake on many assumptions (https://t.co/OF3g70twca). Na-homoeostasis is very good - but could there be a biochemical response to high intake that can be detected? https://t.co/HI9FuA4SL9

@ElVeider_FDV "Le régime paléo est un régime hyperprotéiné". Non, pas forcément. La plupart des défenseurs du régime insistent au contraire sur l'importance des végétaux. Eaton et Konner, les auteurs du 1er article sur le sujet en 85, proposaient 2/3 de végétaux. https://t.co/Belzl6zcU0
