I wonder how many more years we are
going to have to suffer, yes, suffer from the teachings of the whole
grains and low fat advocates. Thankfully, more people are realizing
that their teachings are at the root of our obesity epidemic. Yes,
it may take a few more decades to scientifically put these teachings
where they belong – in the trashcan.
What started me on this? I happened to
watch the program in Iowa Public TV on March 3, when Dr. David
Perlmutter was talking about his program for eliminating whole grains
from our food plans. He is the author of: The Better Brain Book and
the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Grain Brain. He is recognized
internationally as a leader in the field of nutritional influences in
neurological disorders.
The program is scheduled several more
times during the Public TV's campaign to obtain funds from viewers
for programs and operations. Since there are no videos available,
that I have been able to locate, I can only suggest that if the
public TV network in your state is running their fund raising
campaign, go to the website for your state ((enter your state) public
TV) in your search engine and enter Dr. David Perlmutter in the
site's search area. This could help you find the program – whether
you contribute is entirely up to you and I am not promoting this.
Dr. Perlmutter clearly states that fat,
except Trans fats, is our friend and whole grains are our enemy. He
says that in addition to them helping our diabetes epidemic, they
also affect many neurological disorders and by eliminating them from
our food plans, many neurological problems can be improved or
delayed. He listed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
as being helped and in the case of Alzheimer's disease, it could be
delayed or greatly improved for some time. He did not promise a
cure, but stressed improvements that eliminating gluten created.
He mentioned several other neurological
disorders being improved, but I had an interruption and missed the
names.
During his talk, he emphasized that the
claims of lost nutrients the grain people were warning consumers
about could be found in other foods and that their claims were not
valid unless people were relying on whole grains entirely.
His books are available on Amazon and
the #1 Bestseller can be found at this link. I have spent my
allowance for books, but I do intend to obtain his one book later
this year.
