Food Integrity Score
The My Paleo World Food Integrity System helps you understand how a food aligns with whole-food, ancestral, naturopathic, and functional-health principles. Each food is evaluated by natural integrity, source quality, processing level, preparation, ingredient quality, and overall biological compatibility.
In simple terms: the closer a food is to its best natural form, the better it tends to score.
How the Food Integrity System Works
My Paleo World does not rank food by calories alone, mainstream diet labels, or animal-versus-plant categories. A food scores well when it is close to its best natural form: whole, minimally processed, properly sourced, nutrient-supportive, biologically compatible, and prepared in a clean ancestral way.
That means source quality matters. Grass-fed, pasture-raised, wild-caught, organic, raw, fermented, local, and minimally processed foods may score differently than conventional or heavily processed versions of the same food.
Dairy and Gut Tolerance
Raw dairy can be a high-quality traditional food, but it is still tolerance-dependent. If someone’s gut is irritated from years of pasteurized dairy, grains, refined sugar, seed oils, or inflammatory processed foods, even raw dairy may not feel good at first. As the gut and metabolism improve, raw dairy may become more tolerable for some people - but it should still be introduced carefully and individually.
