Easy to say he is wrong but I cant prove he is and neither can anyone else. He is not a "Jhonny-come-lately" He has done considerable research.
I am heading in that direction and can positively say that I feel much much better. And one thing I know..carbs..in general are the worst of the protein, fat, carb "food groups".
He also says unless you are proven intolerant to gluten via Celiac Disease it is not a problem.
I am convinced that the current USDA Food Pyramid is unfortunately skewed in favor of a rather large amount of carbohydrates. Don't get me wrong, the human body requires carbohydrates to function properly, but when consumed in excess, carbohydrates wreak havoc with the metabolism. While one needs to keep an eye on calories, one needs to be more watchful where those calories come from.
I tolerate gluten without any problems. Gluten-free has gone from a market niche to popular. Many humans find bandwagons rather irresistable.
