“If you set aside your programming of the last 30 years of what should be the western diet and allow yourself to be taught, you will see the clear logic of science showing through. Real science with double blind studies over a long term are totally lacking in the area of nutrition an diet. The modern western diet is based on opinion and very weak associational studies. This documentary uses real science and a rigorous review of the archaeology and anthropologic record to reveal the real diet of humans that permitted us to excel in obtaining high energy food which led to brain development setting us at the top of the food chain.”
