3 million years of evidence! The 5 ancient diet claims that are dangerously wrong

What was said

"People who eat more whole grains, 90 grams of whole grains a day, can reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by up to 25%."

Dr. Federica Marti cites modern research showing that consuming 90 grams of whole grains daily reduces cardiovascular disease mortality by 25 percent. This directly contradicts the Paleo diet's complete elimination of whole grains, which she identifies as one of the diet's most harmful restrictions.
