I just finished a book called Grain Brain by Dr David Permutter. Dr. Perlmutter is a neurologist and makes a very convincing argument for how damaging grains, especially wheat are to your brain. I feel so much better since almost eliminating grains from my diet.
He also talks about how important fats, including saturated fats and cholesterol are to our bodies.
Wheat Belly will be my next read.
I do have to admit that I am not 100% faithful to this way of eating in that I allow myself a couple of beers or a pizza or some other "treat" a couple of times a month. But I can feel the difference after I consume that stuff.
