Recommended Answer:

Paleo, while better than many other dietary options, is just another fad diet....No, you should not remove calcium from your diet, but be aware you can get calcium from foods other than dairy products...see the source link for 10 foods high in calcium (several are vegetables)...Cavemen's average life expectancy was around 30 or so...I realize all kinds of things were responsible for their deaths, but if their diet was that great, a fair number should have lived to be much older than that...I'm jus' sayin'...eating only what cavemen ate, doesn't make a diet a healthy one (although I'm 100% behind clean eating and cutting back or eliminating processed foods as much as possible)...

• I wouldn't. Just drink orange juice that has calcium in it. It still correspond to the paleo diet.
