Low-carbohydrate diet - The evolutionary argument.
Some advocates of low carb diets argue that the Paleolithic diet did not include grains, starches, and refined sugar, and that the human body has not evolved significantly since the time of the Neolithic Revolution, implying that their consumption should still be avoided today and causes undesired and largely unknown effects. Specifically, it is argued that they cause the body to produce excess amounts of the hormone insulin, which tells the body to store rather ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Ankylosing spondylitis - Signs and symptoms The typical patient is a young man of 15-30 years old (although women are also affected) with pain and stiffness in the spine. It is also associated with iridocyclitis (anterior uveitis), ulcerative colitis, psoriasis and Reiter's disease, through HLA-B27 (see below).
Osteopenia or osteoporosis of AP spine, causing eventual compression fractures and a back "hump" if untreated.
Organs affected by AS, other than the axial spine, are ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Ankylosing spondylitis - Diagnosis The diagnosis is by X-ray studies of the spine, which show characteristic spinal changes and sacroiliitis. A normal X-ray does not exclude the disease.
Variations of the HLA-B gene increase the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis, those with the HLA-B27 variant are at highest risk of developing the disorder. HLA-B27, demonstrated in a blood test, is occasionally used as a diagnostic, but does not distinguish AS from other diseases and is therefore not of real diagnostic value. Effective Diagnosis can also happen via MRI scans. Unattended cases normally lead to knee pain, ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Ankylosing spondylitis - Pathophysiology AS is a systemic rheumatic disease, and about 90% of the patients are HLA-B27 positive. HLA-DR and IL1ra are also implicated in ankylosing spondylitis. Although specific autoantibodies cannot be detected, its response to immunosuppresive medication has prompted its classification as an autoimmune disease.
Hypotheses on its pathogenesis include a cross-reaction with antigens of the Klebsiella bacterial strain (Tiwana et al. 2001). Particular authorities argue that elimination of the prime nutrients of Klebsiella (s ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Low-carbohydrate diet - Food industry response Food producers have ascribed a commercial impact to the growing popularity of low-carbohydrate diets in recent years. For example, in May 2004, New World Pasta filed for bankruptcy protection, claiming that low-carbohydrate diets were reducing demand for pasta. In the same month, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts warned investors that its earnings would be below projections, and blamed low-carbohydrate diets on reduced demand for its products.
Other producers have taken advantage of the trend. In response to consumer demand for low-carb foods, t ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Low-carbohydrate diet - Arguments against low-carbohydrate diets In 2004, a Canadian court ruled that foods sold in Canada could not be marketed with reduced or eliminated carbohydrate content as a selling point because carbohydrates were determined not to be a health risk, and that existing "low carb" and "no carb" packaging would have to be phased out by 2006.
Low-carbohydrate diet - Side effects.
Critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without harmful side effects. Very low carbohydrate consumption can lead to the metabolic state called ketosis, which may ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Paleolithic diet - Overview Supporters of this theory argue that since human genetics have scarcely changed since the stone age, an ideal diet would be a reconstructed stone age diet such as the one humans and proto-humans used before the Neolithic Revolution. Therefore through studying archeology and modern hunter-gatherers it could be determined what a healthy diet would comprise. Interest in paleolithic nutrition has grown in recent years as low-carbohydrate diets have become more popular, as ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Paleolithic diet - Food sources and preparation For many practitioners of paleolithic nutrition, the foods' source is just as important as the kind of foods being consumed. It is common practice to obtain paleolithic foods from as natural a source as possible. Farmed meats, especially those organically farmed, are available from many natural sources, from free range poultry to grass fed beef, with many proponents preferring, thought not as practical, wild game meats like quail, rabbit, and venison.
It is common practice among paleolithic eaters that when cooking, unconventional coo ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Paleolithic diet - Benefits The benefits of a paleolithic diet are, as with most dietetic theories, widely debated.
There are however a number of medically diagnosed conditions whose sufferers have been proven to benefit directly from specific components of the diet. Some examples of this include:
Coeliac disease, a gastrointestinal disorder whose sufferers are unable to digest the proteins gluten and casein, found in wheat and milk respectively.
Dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin disorder linked also to digestability issues related to gluten ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Paleolithic diet - Cautions about poisoning As the consumption of raw foods gains popularity, some unsafe foods have occasionally entered the human diet. It should be pointed out that it is generally accepted among the supporters of paleolithic nutrition that while it is necessary to eat only those things that can be consumed raw, it is not necessary or advisable to eat those foods raw. Many foods can harbor dangerous pathogens, including, among other things, salmonella, norovirus, and Trichinella spiralis, many of which can have serious health consequ ...

| | | | | Paleolithic diet: Encyclopedia II - Nutrition - Nutrition, industry and food processing Since the Industrial Revolution some two hundred years ago, the food processing industry has invented many technologies that both help keep foods fresh longer and alter the fresh state of food as they appear in nature. Cooling is the primary technology that can help maintain freshness, whereas many more technologies have been invented to allow foods to last longer without becoming spoiled. These latter technologies include pasteurisation, autoclavation, drying, salting, and separation of various components, and all appear to alter the origin ...
