I can’t wait to try this with some beef (don’t eat pork). Thanks for posting!

Glad I came across your website – I too am raising a little caveman on the primal diet (well, 95% primal) and look forward to ideas.

Animal products, grains, and dairy are all acid forming, and deadly to the human body, and process slowly and ferment inside. These are the true contributing factor of diseases. Why not look at the fact that the peoples diet consisted primarily of bananas, coconut, and yams. It’s possible they ate young coconut which is reduced in fat, or drank the water mostly. A low fat raw vegarian eating routine is the best most vitamin and mineral rich diet there is. High fat DOES prohibit uptake. Google “Weight Loss Cover-Up Exposed” by Astrid Lasco, to find the truth about what really makes us sick. Read it people!

Comment on Dr. Weston Price and his crazy adventures by Caveman Sam

I would definitely agree with the paleo-inspired label for most of the groups Dr. Price studied. Despite my “caveman” moniker I guess I’m not totally paleo… I still eat dairy products. I seem to do quite well on them which makes sense based on my Norther European background but I plan on testing that in the future.

I consider the Weston Price diet to be paleo-inspired or post-paleo. This is from my definition at: http://paleodiet.com/definition.htm

The Weston A. Price Foundation diet encourages dairy, preferably raw. And they recommend whole grains, which they have you soak, sprout, or ferment to neutralize phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors.

Thanks Jared… I’ve actually been reading about agave nectar over the last few days. One article was even on the WAPF site: http://www.westonaprice.org/Agave-Worse-than-Sugar-Nutrition-Foundation-Warns.html

I’ve been actively learning about nutrition for the past 6 months now and this isn’t the first time I’ve “learned” that something is good for me and then shortly thereafter learned it’s not really that good for me after all.

I suppose I should just try to get used to the food I eat not being sweet, but I keep looking for something at least sort of healthy that will sweeten things. Live and learn I guess.

Be careful with that agave nectar… keep in mind it is not a natural product. As you can read about on Wikipedia, it is synthesized using enzymes on the starch from the agave plant, and is up to 90% fructose, which is the kind of sugar that everyone seems to be agreeing leads to insulin resistance. In fact they feed fructose to rats in order to give them insulin resistance, it is such a predictable response. HFCS is 55% fructose, table sugar is 50% fructose, and honey is about 38%. I avoid all of it myself. According to Wikipedia, natural fruits are only about 0%-8% fructose, and in addition to that, before worldwide importation, fruits only came around once a year. It seems that humans are not naturally supposed to be exposed to as much fructose as we are today. Though, I don’t know why humans seem to have such a taste for sweet things.

I came here through your comment on the WAPF’s page and just thought I’d share that. It’s a shame the WAPF hasn’t really cracked down on fructose yet, though they do say to avoid sugar.
