No hard feelings at all  :)
Very informative for me and I enjoy to hear different perspectives, especially from people who are so scientifically grounded.
It's a great forum.
Cheers  :)

Regarding  cereals, you are right. And I make repeated mention throughout the book that a non-cereal diet is better. Nevertheless, I observe that for some people, dropping cereals after a lifetime of consuming them is not practical. Based on this observation, I have explained the best types of cereals and also the best ways for preparing them. But many times throughout the book I say we are better without cereals and I encourage people to transition to a diet consisting of meat/fish + vegetables + modest amounts of fruit.

My citations to Taubes were for his investigative work, not for his actual nutritional views. I referenced him for some documents he obtained regarding the sugar industry and his observations about the selection criteria for epidemiological studies being accepted in journals.

Throughout the book I am very supportive of raw foods, especially raw fat. I don't, however, think it needs to be all or nothing.

In any case, I thank you very much for your feedback.

@TylerDurden

A troll? Why? I am completely open about who I am and what I am doing. My purpose is to reach out and connect with people interested in nutrition. I don't mind if those people don't have exactly the same views as me. I have recently published a book, and yes, I want to promote it. But at the moment it is free for anyone and everyone. I don't understand the troll comment.

Best,
Christopher

Eric, thanks a lot for the review! I sent you a private message.

Goodsamaritan, thank you also for reading my book and I would greatly appreciate a review :)

Goodsamaritan and Chris, yes I posted the book on "Raw Paleo" despite the fact that my book is neither 100% raw nor 100% paleo. I am keeping my ideas always open and trying to reach out to others who approach nutrition from a similar mind state. And Chris, I agree with you that nutrition and finding one's optimal diet is a long process. For me it's been about 15 years since I started trying to figure things out. I made a lot of progress but still more to be learned  :)

Joy2012, you are right, I probably should have gone more into the issue of heavy metal contamination with certain kinds of ceramic cookware. I think I will address this in an upcoming blog post. Thanks.

Chris and others, I would greatly appreciate a short, brief, honest review on Amazon. Thank you everyone!  :) :)

Hello eveheart,

Thanks for the feedback. You are right that my use of the word "processed" is not as clear as it should be. I should have made a distinction between traditional processing (cooking) and more intensive, industrial processing (oil extraction using high heat and hexane solvents).

Regarding the recommended fats, of course paleolithic man couldn't extract these oils, but I think they could eat coconuts, no? The fat wouldn't change through no-heat extraction. I based my fat recommendations on the proportion of saturated/monoun/polyun, favoring saturated and monoun. I think of Paleo nutrition as a template, from which we can make sensible, practical adjustments.

Thanks very much for this feedback.

Best regards,
Christopher

Hi ys, thanks for the heads up. My Fat chapter is very much advocating raw fat. I do have some cooked recipes though. Sorry :) In any case, I hope it's an interesting and informative read.

Greetings,

My name is Christopher Clark. I'm a writer, consultant, recipe creator, and teacher on the topics of nutritional science, Paleo nutrition, and healthy food preparation.

For the past 2-year I have doing intensive research and writing towards my new book, Nutritional Grail. I just launched it last night :) So as to spread the word, I am giving away absolutely FREE downloads of the ebook. I am grateful to those who will later write a review on Amazon, but there is no obligation.

Story Cartel, an Amazon-affiliated site, is hosting my book now: http://storycartel.com/books/753/nutritional-grail-ancestral-wisdom-breakthrough-science-and-the-dawning-nutritional-renaissance/

Please feel free to tell anyone and everyone who might be interested.

A little more about me: christopherjamesclark.com

Many thanks,
Christopher
