Clean water/sanitation are two areas that have significantly extended our
lives.  The paleo dieters of past didn't suffer from the diet itself, other
than lack of supply perhaps.  Their short lifespans were due to other
circumstances, not malnutrition.

I recently came across information claiming that the process of cooking
foods itself causes an immune response during digestion, and recommends that
at least 51% of each meal be raw/uncooked food to prevent/counter this
response.

I've been eating raw/uncooked as much as possible, and I've got to say, it
really does make a difference.  You have so much more energy.
