Reading Taubes was eye-opening for me.

As for Harris, his blog is simply great. His “Archevore diet” principles (previously labeled “12 steps to eating paleo”) is the clearest and easiest to follow exposition of how to eliminate the neolithic agents of disease from one’s diet that I have found.

Well, we might as well keep it simple, and start with “water”.

Even liquid water itself, with no solutes at standard temperature and pressure, is not “water”.

Look up bulk water, interfacial water, liquid crystalline water. Look up Martin Chaplin, Gerald Pollack, and Gilbert Ling.

Damn mystifying.
