the argument that things were better back then. Without context you’re right that sounds weird.

I used to weight train and went through all kinds of diets/heath fads/etc

I’d been on Paleo for almost 4 months and felt great and was extremely fit. Then I went to the doctor for a physical and my cholesterol and triglycerides along with other levels were absolutely shit. The doctor asked me what had changed since last year and I showed him my diet. The way I explained it was total bro science I regurgitated from the countless sources available. “Yea you just eat what a caveman would have had access to. Nothing processed no dairy no grains no legumes etc”

He looked at me and asked, “what was the average lifespan of a caveman?”

I didn’t do paleo but hard (less than 2g carbs per day) ketogenic. The overweight melted off me and my blood levels markedly improved. I guess we have each our own metabolism.

As for his caveman quip, we would need a way to filter out death by chipped flint, predator jaws and just plain oops in order to check its relevance.

Keto cycles have been great for me also I’m a big fan

caveman/ancient man/any point in history where life expectancy was 30-50 prior to modern crops, diets, and medicines. Its debatable I guess but makes perfect sense

I’ve been thrown before by stuff that makes sense. It doesn’t help that a close search of the Web will turn up something that creates confirmation bias. It’s important to have something of a touchstone when “doing research” via Google. I bet there’s a hundred likely Ph.D.s in exploring how search engines have changed how people think.
