  • From a comment's section on an article about not eating gluten:

    "The oldest man right now lives in Montana. He is 114. In his 30′s he discovered he felt much better if he just ate breakfast and lunch and then skipped dinner. He has not eaten dinner for about 80 years. For breakfast, he often eats pancakes. Hmmm. So if someone can be the oldest human on the planet, and if most of the top performing athletes in the world consume grains – well, you make the conceptual leap.

    Here is the diddaly ding dong. This article is well, well written.

    Start: Sick people. Next: the problem. Next: The solution: to every symptom you’ve ever experienced. What is great is that some may embark on a truly healthier lifestyle from this. But mostly they will feel better from the placebo effect. Yes, when you are stuck in the same neural circuit and then you switch circuits to a more optimistic one – it is very powerful. If a drug company could bottle the placebo is would be the best selling drug ever. The FDA would brand it the first “cure-all” because it really works in almost every disease known to man.

    Try this: Don’t over eat. Eat good food. Be optimistic. Oh, and if you’re a celiac-don’t eat gluten."
