The Real Paleo Diet

(Originally aired March 11, 2019) Guest: Herman Pontzer, Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology, Duke University The whole idea behind the paleo -“caveman”-diet is that if we go back to eating like our hunter-gatherer ancestors, we won’t have all the obesity and diabetes and heart disease our modern lifestyle has brought. Makes total sense when you look at the few hunter-gatherer societies left on the planet today: They are in excellent health.
