Does anyone know if this research is funded by the Meat Marketing Board?
I don't know if it is and I am not trying to undermine the article but it's really difficult to know who to trust when it comes to science relating to diet. It's such a lucrative area.

Funding corruption is a relatively minor cause of bogus research. Politics and culture are far bigger problems because hired guns aren't nearly as effective as true believers. (Which is a shame because hired guns are often the only obstacle to true believers.)
Note that there's no reason to expect that true believers will be right more often than hired guns.

You can't really trust anybody when it comes to science relating to diet. ANY scientific result would have a party that would potentially benefit from it.
Do'h
The modern diet is a lot different to the traditional hunter gather diet of people with which we share a almost all of our genetics.
The Paleo diet however doesn't advocate swapping carbs for meat, but rather mostly low carb vegetables with a lot more protein and a medium amount of fat. They certainly aren't advocating Atkins.
