I corrected the grammar of the lead sentence, a user made a change to the sentence following my correction which was marked as "restoring lead sentence."
Hi. It was me who changed it. I noticed that the long-standing lead definition was changed in one of the recent edits, so I reverted it back to the stable definition. Rasnaboy (talk) 03:04, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Book 2025: "Some studies of Paleo adherents have demonstrated an improvement in the components of metabolic syndrome, with decreased waist circumference, triglycerides, [...] and improved lipid profiles in individuals following the Paleo diet" "Clinicians need not endorse or oppose the Paleo diet"
Study 2017: "Study suggest that diets closer to Paleolithic or Mediterranean diet patterns may be inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality"
Study 2013: "The Paleolithic diet was seen as instrumental in weight loss, albeit it was difficult to adhere to"
It is a diet that makes pseudoscientific claims, categorized as a fad diet so the category is accurate, however, the Paleolithic diet article is already included in the fad diets category which is part of the pseudoscience category so its not a big issue if it was removed.
