This is a blog devoted to PaNu - a philosophy of living centered on the thesis that the diseases of civilization are largely related to abandonment of the metabolic conditions we evolved under - what I term the "evolutionary metabolic milieu" - EM2. Returning to EM2 is not a fad. It's not about eating like a "caveman" and does not require you kill your own food. It doesn't require a calculator, or even a recipe book once you learn some basic science about food.
We can make sense of many of the diseases that are prevalent now and relate them to some simple but profound changes that have occurred with the introduction of agriculture.
My conception of the EM2 is not derived from a single science or field of inquiry, but draws on medical science, biochemistry, history, epidemiology, and anthropology and archaeology.
It is becoming clear now that many of the diseases afflicting humanity are not a natural part of the aging process, but a side effect of technological and other powerful cultural changes in the way we eat and live that have only occurred over the past 10,000 years.
Here I will post commentary about relevant scientific studies, critique the dangerous prevailing paradigm about healthy behavior, (not just eating) and provide links so you can do further reading on this topic.
