Surrounding Ourselves with Carcinogens: When in Rome
Caveman Doctor watches very little television (ever since the National Geographic living room fiasco on ’95). However, he was recently watching Rome, which along with John Adams and Parks and Recreation, is possibly the greatest show ever created. They actually ran out of money and crammed several seasons into Season 2, providing Caveman Doctor [...]

Bariatric Surgery vs. Medical Therapy in Diabetes

Both studies compared bariatric surgery with conventional medical treatment of diabetes in obese patients. As the NEJM often does with important studies, an editorial followed. These significant studies showed some dramatic results in [...]
It’s time animal rights activists and modern cavemen unite

Cooking in Under 10 Minutes
Caveman Doctor receives many emails (whatever an email is) from readers saying they don’t have enough time to cook these caveman foods, especially vegetables. Caveman Doctor usually spends about 10 minutes cooking his vegetables, and at the most (if he’s feeling crazy) 15 minutes. Often he eats his vegetables raw or soaks them in vinegar [...]

While we are not celebrating killing an animal (vegetarians, if any of you [...]
