Kimble's "What is Gluten" Bit

Er... so you're saying we should let outliers dictate common practice? That is, quite literally, insane.
Remember that time that dude with HIV/AIDS received a bone marrow transplant and was magically "cured" (infinite remission) of HIV/AIDS? Science went back and found that the bone marrow donor lacked the cellular enzyme required for the HIV/AIDS virus to grow. If we "cured" one person, then why aren't we harvesting the bone marrow of these people to deactivate the HIV/AIDS epidemic? Oh... That's right... It' was an outlier. The patient receiving the treatment just had a bit of luck on his side.

I don't care for any medical advice books revolving around a trendy topic. Why is that? It is because they were majorly written and published for the pursuit of money. That "credible" doctor is going to change his view on gluten once this whole fad passes over.

I consume a large amount of gluten, but I need those carbs for the energy. Try being involved in an athletic activity for 2-3 hours on a paleo diet. It won't work well for you.

Actually I'd be just fine. I'm an avid soccer and tennis player, and I also do Stronglifts and do long-distance cycling. I just eat more sweet potatoes, various squash, plantains, etc. Those are safe starches and it's a complete misconception that paleo dieters don't eat carbs.

For those who believe you need to have multiple daily servings of grains/starchy carbs similar to the Food Pyramid, or that you can't get an optimal diet/energy level without grains, I would read up on guys like Charles Poliquin, Robb Wolf, and Ido Portal.

I'm not a scientist, but if you're saying a slice of bread is worse than a snickers bar, I have no idea what you're thinking.

You're telling me that a chicken sandwich is less healthy than chicken + 2 snickers bars?

So if I traded out Spaghetti and Meatballs for Snickers Bars and Meatballs, I'd be healthier?

Come on. Really think about that.

I have no idea what you're thinking. Perhaps if you read my words in context, they might make sense to you:

Quote:Quote:

In terms of producing the greatest surge in blood sugar, eating a slice of wheat bread or white bread is worse that eating a tablespoon of white sugar or a Snickers Bar!

I said absolutely nothing about bread being worse than a Snickers Bar. What I said, which is absolutely and irrefutably true, is that "in terms of producing the greatest surge in blood sugar, eating a slice of wheat bread or white bread is worse that eating a tablespoon of white sugar or a Snickers Bar!"

While blood sugar levels are a critically important component to good health, it is one of a number of factors. My point was that bread made with processed wheat flour, whether white or wheat, is far closer to eating garbage -- along with all the negative health effects -- than the average person believes.
