A hundred years ago less than one in one hundred Americans were obese and coronary heart disease was unknown. Pneumonia, diarrhea and enteritis, and tuberculosis were the most common causes of death. Now, a century later, the two most common causes of death are coronary heart disease and cancer, which account for 75 percent of all deaths in this country. There were 500 cardiologists practicing in the U.S. in 1950. There are 30,000 of them now – a 60-fold increase for a population that has only doubled since 1950.

Wow, what an article. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing it!
Hmmm – home made butter on anything — yes!
Tis nothing wrong with a Paleo diet. Eating the right kinds of meats and fish is the best. In fact, I feel a lot more energy. Just call me the Salmon and Spinach kid.
