Paleo Lifestyle Magazine 2014/3
The highlighted topic in our new issue is the cholesterol theory. Two articles discuss the issue, one presenting the untenability of the cholesterol theory and how the confirmation experiments led to the final refutation, while the other article highlights the serious side effects of the modern cholesterol-lowering drug family, statins.
Richard Kocsi has started a paleo children's series, with his first article focusing on conception and pregnancy from a paleo perspective. Our regular contributor, canoe champion Mihaly Safran, convinces us that cold is our friend. In our celebrity interview, we introduce Csaba Erdos, a motorcycle stuntman who follows the paleo lifestyle. Johanna Pál summarizes the results of the first paleo survey for us. In one sentence: almost everyone's health has improved. Hypothyroidism is a rapidly spreading disease, and in our article on this topic, Agnes Kramer, an 'original paleo' ear acupuncturist, explains the causes of daily diagnostic misunderstandings. In further articles, we discuss the autoimmune nutrition protocol (Annamária Polgár), the relationship between our pets and cholesterol (Dr. Zsolt Molnar), whether there is a connection between paleo dieting and orthorexia (Erzsébet Eckhardt), the challenges of transitioning to a paleo diet (Milená Sinka), the benefits of taurine (Gál Bence Szabó), and the role of exercise in our lives (Péter Lakatos). Interesting results from food intolerance tests confirm the benefits of paleo (Dr. Zoltán Szabó), and we talk about the role of different nut flours in the paleo kitchen. Harlan Cockburn continues his 'Conscious Caveman' series. Reading Elmira Mezei's book review may inspire you to read 'The Big Fat Surprise,' which was released this year and exposes the falsifications behind the cholesterol hypothesis (we hope it will soon be published by a publisher). And of course, lots of recipes, also in the spirit of back-to-school season.
