Grains are actually not a necessary part of life or diet. Humans survived for tens of thousands of years before the agricultural revolution. In fact, very few of us have physically adapted enough to tolerate them in the large quantities they are eaten in, in the modern world. Or at all, for some.

Gluten sensitivities are rising on a massive scale. I think 30 years ago or something the rate of celiac disease was 1 in 1000 people. Now it's like 1 in 30.

We've been brainwashed into thinking we are better off eating grains but in reality, most of us would be better off not eating them at all. Wheat is the worst villian.


I recommend the following books:

The Carbohydrate Addicts Lifespan Program, by Dr Richard F Heller and Dr Rachel F Heller

Life Without Bread, by Christian B Allan, PhD and Wolfgang Lutz, MD

The No-Grain Diet, by Joseph Mercola, MD

The Yeast Connection Handbook, by William G Crook, MD

Neanderthin, by Ray Audette and Troy Gilchrist

Eat Right 4 Your Type, by Peter D'Adamo, ND

Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Robert C Atkins, MD

The Paleo Diet, by Loren Cordain

The Evolution Diet: What and How We Were Designed to Eat, by Joseph Steven Breese Morse


These books all helped me realize that just because it can be eaten and fits in one's mouth doesn't mean it should be eaten.
