Criticism
Perlmutter's book has received criticism for perceived 'hyperbole' and misrepresentation of data.

Epidemiologist Dr. David Katz, founding director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center, has criticized Grain Brain, saying "Perlmutter is way ahead of any justifiable conclusion" and that many of its claims are "wildly preposterous".

Pretty much every book and every dietary plan has been criticized.
There are a lot of politics being played in the nutrition industry. I'm sure you can find criticism of vegetarianism as well.
If you don't like that book there are plenty others with the same information. Try Wheat Belly.
There is also a lot of conflict of opinion. I think that you have to read some books and decide what you believe. I've read Carl Esslestyn's book and several others.
It seems to me that sugar is the primary enemy. A lot of people agree that we were making a big mistake when we replaced soda with apple juice in our kid's diets years ago. We thought we were giving them something healthy when we were giving them just as much sugar as was in the soda. The glycemic index of apple juice is extremely high. That's why I don't understand this juicing craze. People who do this have to be sending their pancreas into overtime.
