I started the paleo diet in February to try to help with lymphocytic colitis (it worked).

Type 1 Diabetes: The Numbers Don’t Lie
Editors Note: Paleo eating appears to benefit quite an array of health conditions. Many are autoimmune in nature, all appear to share characteristics of systemic inflammation.

Fatt – in the minds of many it’s a four letter word (that’s why there’s the extra ‘t’…).
