i just wonder if we are shooting ourselves in the foot.

Well,--- um, we are only shooting ourselves in the foot if it turns out that soy, the other polyunsaturated seed oils, and non paleo foods bring us eternal youth. I dunno, I've read enough on the various nutritional blogs that these issues are related and they all have a simple cause. We evolved a stupidly large creative brain that led us away from the sun and into large agricultural silos filled with carbs and oils from invented sources. Sure dropping just carbs alone will help you with weight control, but what about diseases -- especially cancer, and heart disease? For eternal youth I'm betting on bacon fat from wild boar, but yes, I'm only about halfway there in practice.
