Loren Cordain Video on Alkaline Paleo

Here is an interesting lecture by Loren Cordain on the diet of Palaeolithic peoples and what they actually ate.  Don’t worry about what he says about fats.  The fat he is talking about is the fat from feedlot animals.  This is not a natural fat as grazing animals were never meant to eat grain nor be stuck in one place for a long time.  This makes their fat very unnatural  and not good for their health or ours!
He is also in the process of changing his position on good saturated fats. He used to believe they were bad but is coming round to the recognition that they are in fact healthy.
He also talks about the need for alkalinity within the Paleo Diet and how important this is.

Dr Lynda Frassetto MD talks about the effects of diet on acids and health

This is quite a long but worthwhile video of a presentation By Dr Frassetto. She’s no stranger to me, being a pioneer of anti-acid research with a paper on Diet and Aging published in 1999.  In that study she identified the correlation between age and acidity. In this video she talks about the results of her latest research into comparative anti-acid diets.
