Think if Vioxx and Celebrex which would be less needed if people exercised our way and avoided neolithic foods; last week it was the strongest evidence yet that mobile phones (known as cell phones in some countries) cause DNA damage The mobile phone story is at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4113989.stm. Here is another which I am posting because the effects are long-term and on children before they are born. It illustrates my point that true evolutionary fitness is about a Paleo environment/world, not just a Paleo diet and exercise for an individual paleo body. Full story on the BBC site today:: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/-/1/hi/health/4115617.stm __________________________ Exposure to cleaning products while in the womb could be linked to persistent wheezing in young children, University of Bristol research suggests. Experts looked at families' use of a range of products such as bleach, paint stripper and carpet cleaners. Children born into the 10% of families which used these products the most were twice as likely to suffer from wheezing as those who used the least. The study of 14,000 children from birth is published in the journal Thorax. The researchers said, while their study suggested a link between prenatal exposure and wheezing, exposure after birth could also be a factor. Further research is under way to look for physiological changes in the children's lungs which would indicate the effect had occurred while they were in the womb. Wheezing can be a sign a child will go on to develop asthma. The study, which is part of the University of Bristol's Children of the 90s research, involved 7,019 families. ___________________ The prudent path must be - uncomfortable though it my be, both physically and emotionally - to embrace uncompromisingly the Paleo solution.
