Scientific Support for A No/Low-Grain Diet

Don’t you just hate confusion? I know I do. It is so difficult

to sort through medical debates; this is one of the main reasons why I started

this newsletter.

 

If you watch the news over a period of time, it is inevitable

that you will find some conflict. My goal for this newsletter is to help you

sort through these inconsistencies so you will have a better, clearer

understanding of the truth and can use it to recapture a high level of health in

your life.

 

The scientific references below are linked to the National

Library of Medicine and, when available, to the original journal article.

 

You can view for yourself what some of the top scientists in

the world are saying about the scientific support for the no-grain diet. This is

not just one or two studies but a huge heap of recent evidence supporting this

reality.

 

This is a strong indication that the vast majority of the

two-thirds of Americans who are currently obese or overweight would benefit from

a radical reduction in their grain intake and replacing those grains with fresh

vegetables.
