Of all things people choose to fear, they pick Gluten. My god, couldn't they have picked more legitimate dietary evils? Take sugar for instance….
I've eliminated grain. No need to eat it. The nutrients are easily gotten elsewhere, and I've lost tons of weight. Best decision ever.

This…is far more interesting than I'd expected. Â Like, just a good read.
+Andres Soolo not just starch, but sugar altogether.

+Andres Soolo yeah. I havent eliminated all grain though, because I do eat low carb pita containing oat bran and flax. That's the only grain-stuff i have.
