Paleo Diet | Community Health

The Paleo diet is a modern dietary approach that seeks to replicate the eating habits of humans during the Paleolithic era, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods and excluding dairy, grains, and processed foods. Popularized by authors such as [[loren-cordain|Loren Cordain]] and [[walter-l-voegtlin|Walter L. Voegtlin]], the diet has gained significant attention in recent years, with the [[paleolithic-diet-industry|Paleolithic diet industry]] worth approximately $500 million as of 2019. However, the diet's core premise has been challenged by recent discoveries in [[human-genome|human genome]] sequencing and [[dna-analysis|DNA analysis]] of ancient human remains.
