For the brain to function properly, it needs a minimum of 130 carbohydrates a day and the brain prefers glucose, or carbohydrates, for fuel. Plus I don't think the fatty acids can cross the blood brain barrier efficiently? Maj, what has your experience being semi paleo with ketosis? Has it negatively effected your cognitive functioning?

Where do tomatoes fit into this template - fruit or vegetable?
Where do yams and sweet potatoes fit in? Beer, wine or spirits? Honey? Stevia? Nutritional yeast?
Thanks.
Oh, and you seem to have spelled wrong one of the words in that sentence. It's not important but as a friendly reminder why not find and use a spell checker; this message board seems to have one and it works for me. Perhaps you have it turned off in your settings or something like that. Cheers.

The assumption with Paleo of course is that 10,000 years is not long enough for our bodies to adapt to our agrarian society.

Of course, me neither, thats why I prefer low carb instead paleo diet. Paleo is fad. Low carb paradigm is based on human physiology, not some speculations about what humans ate before based on suspicious anthropological data.
If your going to say paleo is a fad than being vegan would have to be considered a fad and I dont believe either one is.
One aspect of the paleo diet I've been trying to follow is avoidance of refined foods. When I do that I don't have to worry about carbs, fat or protein
There exists in the scientific literature a wealth of data that explains the role of ascorbic acid in immune system function and documents its requirement for greater than micronutrient quantities to fight infections. The inhibitory effect by glucose of the actions of ascorbic acid could well explain the lack of beneficial effect of ascorbic administration in many studies reported in the literature because few, if any, such studies controlled for dietary carbohydrates. In light of the current dietary sugar excesses and concomitant obesity epidemic, clinicians should be reminded of the great importance of the long recognized but largely unappreciated inhibitory action of glucose against ascorbic acid. In summary, ascorbic acid is essential for effective immune system function and, further, it can be a potent immune system stimulator when high glycemic dietary carbohydrates are restricted.
