This is the most complete book about diet that I have read. All statements are fully backed through studies (which are also presented) and should be a must-read for anyone who truly wants to understand more about the facts underlying the paleo diet.
Dr. Lindeberg gives a fascinating look at evolutionary nutrition. Gives you a good European background on the issues.
