is that of a 'cave man'.
Quoting from the article :
"Scientists found that volunteers who ate the stone age fare for just three weeks had lowered blood pressure and a reduced risk of clots."
"They also lost an average of five pounds in weight."
"Our early ancestors lived on a diet lacking in cereals, dairy products and refined sugar for centuries before farming developed and some scientists believe that the human body is still best suited to this kind of food."
The modern, processed diet is a long way from the diet that was accessible to humans as we evolved. I guess evolution is at working killing off those that are not well suited to the modern diet. However, I suspect that most such people have already passed on their genes to the effects will take a while!
