Evans, known more commonly now as ‘Paleo Pete’, featured in an interview on the program a week ago, where he defended his views on the paleo diet, “bone broth” for babies, dairy and fluoride.

Today, Evans took time to write to his followers who attended a Gut Health event where Evans spoke to Australians who shared their health stories with him.

Footage from the Gut Health event appeared during the Sunday Night program, but Evans was quick to point out that Sunday Night showed “a lovely lady at the seminar, saying she was happy to have a selfie” instead.

Evans apologised to those who attended the event, saying that many of them were interviewed by the program, but none of their stories made the final cut of what went to air.

“I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all the wonderful people who came to our Gut Health event and shared their amazing stories of reclaiming their health,” he said.

“I know that so many of you were interviewed (you told me your stories face-to-face) and then you openly and honestly told the host of the show on camera and it was filmed.

“You shared how you had come off medications or reduced them, how you had reversed type 2 diabetes as well as a host of other amazing health stories from autoimmunity to depression and more.

“For some reason, the producers decided that those stories were not as important and decided to air a lovely lady at the seminar, saying she was happy to have a selfie with me. I guess the producers thought that a selfie is what they deemed more important to the story, instead of sharing real life Australians, reclaiming their health through simple dietary changes that work.”

Evans went on to say “there was a lot more” from the three hour interview he filmed “on dairy and fluoride and breast milk that obviously didn’t make it”.

“I personally believe that was a wonderful opportunity missed for the Australian public,” he said. “There was a lot more from our 3 hour interview on dairy and fluoride and breast milk that obviously didn’t make it but we will share with you on this page further reading material if you are keen to explore further.”

Evans also said he considered himself to be a “curious member of the public (tribe)”, not a leader, as the program portrayed him.

“I do not consider myself to be a leader as they portrayed, but just one curious member of the public (tribe). We interview professionals that are changing peoples lives instead of the nonsense of everything in moderation mantra that so many fall back on,” he said.

“We actually had 8 or so amazing speakers at our seminar that was filmed, and I was cooking for the majority of it while the others were doing the educating on stage as to how to improve our GUT HEALTH, and I am proud to stand beside these wonderful people and help give them a platform to reach many.”

Evans also told his followers he was going to be do large study on Type 2 diabetes with one of the leading universities in Australia.

“This study will be to show the results of what a low carb and or ketogenic paleo approach has on type 2 diabetes,” he said.

“It is wonderful to see these important topics, such as grain free, dairy free, healthy fat, low carb, clean water, toxic ingredients in sunscreen and water, entering the mainstream media, and for people to be furthering their own research as to what works and what doesn’t,” he added.

After facing a backlash from the Australian Medical Association who claimed his paleo diet beliefs “put his fans’ health at risk”, he also thanked his family and friends including wife Nicky Robinson and fellow MKR judge Manu Feildel for their support.

“A huge thank you to my amazing and loving family for their ongoing support, Nic, Chilli, Indii and my mum Joy for being a part of the segment, my dear friend Manu for his support and everyone who has shown their support as well,” he said.

“At the end of the day, we have the choice as to what we put on our dinner plates and in our cups/glasses. It doesn’t get much simpler or better than some beautiful vegetables with a side of well sourced seafood or meat with the cleanest water possible and that is what we promote as Paleo, or you can call it meat and three veg and the AMA & DAA can still call it dangerous until they try it for a few months and see if it works. Oh, and thanks to the doctor that appeared on the segment, they couldn’t of picked a better representative of the medical industry than you ... thumbs up mate!”
