Kurt Harris says it’s probably not about the NADs (neolithic agents of disease):
A state where everyone needs to eat a customized, idiosyncratic paleo diet to not be sick, where there are legions of people continuously altering their diets in an attempt to get healthy, and there are many many people who eat PERFECTLY in every way that still have serious DOCs [diseases of civilization] is telling us something.
It is telling us to look at other things.
For more on those “other things” check out Lucas Tafur’s post on the “Old Friends” hypothesis.




Hi ‘Foxy,’
It’s very exciting to be a fly on the wall of this shift of plates that you have unearthed (for me). I am a great fan of Kurt Harris, who has been AWOL for months (again, as far as I am aware); and Lucas Tafur is a new star in the firmament that I have again you to thank for the introduction. There, I’ve got three tired cliches and metaphors in as many sentences. That’s enough.
He’s been AWOL on his own blog for sure, but he certainly has been popping up on others!
