So nothing is 100 % except for death. Can anyone think of any situation where a paleo diet would not be beneficial?

Paleo is sooo broad. I'm hard pressed to think of a situation where excessie fructose, gluten, vegetable oils would be essential for survival. Even in survival settings there are tons of "paleo preservation" methods. Salting, Fermentation etc. |

Paleo is extremely not beneficial to your wallet. If there is anything that I have absolute certainty about, is this. |

When the choice is eat non-paleo or starve, staunch refusal would be unwise. |

Oh ladies yes indeed. I was just talking about this a few hours ago- I have family staying at my place for a couple of months. It physically hurts me, to the point where I probably release cortisol, to see how and what they eat. When I open the cabinets I am consumed with candy, soda, chips and just about every other disease and depression inducing food. I went shopping with them once and I just laughed when I saw them ( and everyone else in the store for that matter) pushing their sleds of inflammation. I wont touch a single think they buy, eat or "prepare". Although I guess you cant classify microwaving Stouffers macaroni and cheese as "preparing". But hey, like one my patients once told me " I drink orange soda so that counts as a serving of fruit". He was serious. |

Robb Wolf and others have long said that special forces operators may want to keep a small amount of grain in their diet to maintain a certain level of gut irritation. The idea is that in the field, operators have limited or no control over their food intake. They do not want to be incapacitated by diarrhea or other digestive problems that can be severe upon sudden grain/gluten exposure. Better to maintain a low, constant amount of irritation in this case. Also, you should consider that many of these operators are young and genetically blessed. They'd thrive for years on crap diets anyway. That said, this is not making an argument for alleged long-term health benefits of grain/gluten consumption. And special forces operators are an extremely small portion of the population. |

I seem to recall Peter at Hyperlipid mentioning some sort of very rare gene in some sort of rodent that makes it susceptible to diabetes from dietary fat, not carbs. He said it was entirely possible for it to occur rarely in humans as well. |
