"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Steven Cooksey says all he wanted to do was
help other diabetics get healthy, but a North Carolina agency tried to
censor his online healthy food advice column, saying he was not a
licensed dietitian.

"For him, he decided the healthiest diet was “a
high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet of the sort that Stone Age people ate
prior to agriculture. This diet is sometimes called a Paleolithic or
caveman diet,” he said. It includes ordinary, unprocessed or
minimally-processed foods such as beef, pork, chicken, eggs, leafy
green vegetables and butter. He said he ate nuts and fruits sparingly.

"Within a month of reducing his carbohydrate intake, Cooksey says his
blood sugar normalized.

“Everyone who does what I do improves their health markers. Every one
of them. It works,” he said.
