Mercola.com: The Paleolithic Diet and Its Modern Implications:

"Can fifty thousand years of human evolution be wrong? What are we really "designed" to eat? Are high carbohydrate "Food Pyramid" diet standards a health disaster? What do paleolithic fossil records and ethnographic studies of 180 hunter/gatherer groups around the world suggest as the ideal human diet?

Find out in nationally acclaimed author and nutritionist Robert Crayhon's interview with paleolithic diet expert, Professor Loren Cordain, Ph.D."

Chet Day's Health & Beyond: Hunter Gatherer Paradigm Examined in New Light:

"Here at the Rea Centre, the article by Robert Crayhon (Interview with Loren Cordain) on the paleo diet and modern implications left us more than a little dismayed, because it is plausible, intelligent, coherent, and riven with error - which is not so hot if the field is unfamiliar to readers and they actually embark on a try-out.

We work, and have worked, practically in this field of paleo nutrition for over 15 years, and over 20,000 successful users of a slightly different practical perspective."

AST Sports Science: The French Deception: 21 februari

"A couple of weeks ago newswires around the world ran stories about the French equivalent to the FDA claiming creatine may cause cancer.

Either these scientists are absolute morons or they are pushing agenda by distorting the scientific facts on creatine supplementation. One thing is for certain; their claims against creatine are baseless and are an embarrassment to the scientific and medical community.

Not only are there no studies whatsoever indicating in even the wildest possible interpretation that supplementing with creatine could even remotely cause cancer, but their literature support for their statements does not even involve creatine.

The sad part of all this is that the media will report this through thousands of news outlets throughout the world effectively propagating an outright lie. It stinks."
