Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn believes that the Paleo diet is bad for the heart because the Paleo diet eliminates wheat as a food source. This increases the production of TMAO by gut bacteria which leads to clogged arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, author of "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" talks about the absence of research for the paleo diet. All of the chronic disease such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, etc. are all made worse by the consumption of animal-based products. Research from the Cleveland Clinic shows that even intestinal bacteria in omnivores produces trimethyl amines (TMA) that is oxidized to trimethyl amino oxide (TMAO) which promotes aggressive vascular disease. Vegans do not produce TMAO.
