No but it seems paleo diet enthusiasts indicate any heart disease was non-existent due to a paleo diet.
The so-called "LOREN CORDAIN, PH.D., THE WORLD’S LEADING EXPERT ON PALEOLITHIC DIETS AND FOUNDER OF THE PALEO MOVEMENT" claims:
Decades of research by Dr. Loren Cordain and his scientific colleagues demonstrate that hunter-gatherers typically were free from the chronic illnesses and diseases that are epidemic in Western populations, including:
Obesity
Cardiovascular disease (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis)
Type 2 diabetes
Cancer
Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.)
Osteoporosis
Acne
Myopia (nearsightedness), macular degeneration, glaucoma
Varicose veins, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, gastric reflux
Gout

- dhughes 13y agoOK then, but that works both ways if I can't prove it's not totally good paleo diet proponents can't prove it's super healthy.
