He's good, really, really good. IMO once you understand what's going on with the wheat it becomes less desirable to put it in your body. But then again not everyone cares if what they eat is GMO or not, I do. Are GMO's completely avoidable, unfortunately not. However, by educating yourself you can make decisions to limit the amount of exposure whenever possible. Really just depends on what YOUR personal goals are, if it's just to drop a few pounds, sure eat at dirty Ron's and do something to burn twice as many calories. If your into improving and extending your quality of life, maybe take it a step or two further.

The forthcoming book you cited by the neurologist looks very interesting as well; I want to be as smart, alert, energetic, and happy as I possibly can, I don't have that many brain cells to spare. I look forward to reading the impact of wheat and other carbs on the mind.

Sooo do you agree that Made in Mexican Coke in the glass bottles tastes better than Made in USA Coke in cans?
(Didn't want to go too far off topic in Mega's thread, so it's here…..).
Supposedly for "The real global Coke otakus say Jamaican: quality of cane used, plus…the water." is the best in the world. (Source: William Gibson)

oh & i'm a pepsi, doctor pepper & root beer lover . . . .

I don't drink soda anymore, but I would agree that Mexican coke is better. It seems just like hype but to me it tastes sweeter and kind of "warmer" instead of vague chemicals….

[/quote]Other than alcohol, back on track of late. And I feel so much better. Fuck you, grains. And sugar, eat a dick.

Same here but no booze either. It feels good to feel good.

My mom used to stone grind whole wheat and make incredible bread. She was having some pretty gnarly stomach issues, her doctor recommended restricting her wheat intake, and she lost over 50 pounds in about 90 days. She doesn't do sugar and she really doesn't exercise, but she feels the best she has in years. D6 cut out sugar, booze, and wheat, exercised his ass off, and look at him. The proof, for me, is in the proverbial pudding. I've eliminated wheat, and I weirdly feel more engaged in life. My energy is significantly up, and the only working out I'm doing is DDP Yoga. I've dropped 10 pounds in about a week, and all I can say, is that reading wheat belly, I feel like I've spent the better part of my life, being a sucker.

^Cutting out wheat and going Paleo has made such a big difference in my life, too. I will never go back. My energy and overall quality of life has improved, dramatically.
I just can't seem to kick alcohol. Beer, in particular. I have Irish blood and I feel like abstaining from alcohol is like abstaining from oxygen; which is probably reason #1 why I should cut that shit out.
