It's almost comedic how terrible the investigative work was in a piece published by US News and World, especially around researching the Paleo diet benefits and drawbacks. Here's the link to the blog post by Robb Wolf that includes the story links and a retort by Dr. Loren Cordain.
All I can say is, if you don't trust the Paleo research, then try it (or any of the other 20 diets in the lineup) and see how you feel. It isn't until you see the results for yourself that you will ever stick with a particular diet and evangelize it. The unfortunate part is that sometimes after doing some of these diets for an extended period of time - cough, vegetarian, cough - you can create irreversible bodily damage due to nutrient deprivation and unintentional poisoning (I'm looking at you, SOY.)
All I can see through all of this nonsense is a need for better nutritional research, that's the only way traction will be made to "convince" any doubters. And, hell, maybe it's not Paleo...but I so far it's been the most logical (and clinically) well supported diet philosophy out there.
