Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big

plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this

possible. The paleo-phenomenon is really interesting because the perception of what people

eat in Paleolithic times is not always stacked up to what we're learning about what people

may have eaten in Paleolithic times. We're talking about huge swaths of time here. It's

not just a thousand-year period, it's a huge amount of time and different parts of the

world, so people ate differently according to what they had access to. But in general,

in most civilizations, people were eating really high fiber diet. They were eating between

70 and 150 grams of fiber a day. They were eating really gnarly fruits that you wouldn't

even recognize now. Bananas that were just filled with fiber that were not these supple,

genetically bred foods that we have now that look perfect in the store. That's of course

not what they looked like then and they were just eating whatever they could get their

hands on, roots, tubers, berries, these fruits. That's Dr. Michelle MacKin and this is the

proof podcast.
