[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some great books about this topic. I just read "Wheat Belly" which is about eliminating carbs, particularly wheat. No it is not the building block of your diet. Remember that the US is one of the leading producers of both wheat and milk -- so of course we push eating that. Does not mean it is good for you. In this book he talks about eliminating carbs. He veers a bit too far toward "if you were a diabetic..." but there is a load of great info in there. Carbs are in so many  foods, so eliminating them entirely is pretty tough. But you can always cut back...![/quote]

European American settlers have been consuming wheat and milk in the USA since 1750-1800 without incident.  Without being "pushed."

Also, without being fat, and sporting a "wheat belly" or whatever the hell that is.

Do you think Pa Ingalls worried about "wheat belly" on the Great Plains?  Or Abe Lincoln -- while in Illinois, would you guess that he stuck to an eggs and meat diet, or might he have eaten some toast, do you think?  If he ate toast, who "pushed" him to eat that milled local wheat?[/quote]
