I am a bit surprised, that someone wants to delete it. This is somewhat of a stub, so I will try to improve it. I have no affiliation with Mercola or any of their products - I do not even buy them; just read the articles. If the "Atkins Nutritional Approach" is included here (a $1 Billion business and highly commercial site), why exclude this one? There are plenty of other diets missing from this diet-list, this is just one of them. This info was not put up for commercial purposes, but to include a link to a valuable diet and hundreds of free articles on nutrition. (Unsigned - anonymous - 17 July 2005)

[edit] POV

The criticism section sounds like primary research and also rather POV. Han-Kwang 16:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Mecola (and William L. Wolcott mentioned lower down) appears to be putting into simple language - for us everyday folks - the thinking behind the Paleolithic diet. Maybe it would be a lot clearer for all, if this was eluded to, and a link to the Palaeolithic diet article prominently displayed near to the top. Although Mecola is a for profit organisation, he does make people think and question, so I am against removing it entirely without a better proposal being put forth.

I also agree that the Criticism section needs heavy editing (or eliminating) as it comes close to creating a 'circular augment'. Preferably edited by someone who knows what they are talking about. --Aspro 20:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

This below, comes across as utter nonsense. What about Inuit and other native peoples' that eat a diet that does not include cereal grains?

The elimination of grains is a far more serious matter. Grains offer a unique blend of nutrients that, while possibly obtainable from vegetables, may be on an unrealistic level that, unmonitored, may lead to deficiencies. Thiamin and Fiber, for example, could be deficient by eliminating grain, although this would be unlikely if the high amount of vegetables recommended by this diet are consumed. Should I deleat it without further ado?--Aspro 23:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

This article needs sources and reads like someone's opinion. 74.101.213.92 00:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
