Excuse me if I don't believe you but this is a mostly open forum so you can say and post mostly what you want, with limits. Sales people are often armed with "studies" to back-up their claims. In my opinion Paleo is eating "unprocessed" foods and substances to the best of your ability. Are you aware of all the processed Atkins foods that have hit the "market"? Well, I am not ready for the marketing of Paleo "processed" products. Processed does not equal Paleo plain and simple. I am not making an argument that we must live and eat like actual cavemen but we surly should not eat processed foods to the best of our ability.
I bet most of us on this forum are 40ish or younger. We have experienced mostly good health and vigor throughout our lives. However, the next half-the back half- will unfold much differently. Looking forward we have a slow, insidious decline of function and health. Is this natural-yeah, I guess.
Petrochemicals would most likely end up in fatty tissue. The turnover half life for fats in nonobese people is a few months, so I think staying away from them while eating paleo for a year or two would get you most of what you want.
