Post #336,443 by Andrew Grygus 11/30/10 11:52:27 AM Reply	All this science stuff is entertaining . . . . . but is it meaningful? Large populations subsist mainly on white rice. Are they overweight and diabetic? If not the science is little more than a curiosity. The same with potatoes. Are Peruvians who subsist mainly on potatoes overweight and diabetic? I think, right now, with "science" slowly losing saturated fats as the "great evil", potatoes have been appointed to that role. Ya gotta have the boogeyman to explain away your failures.

And that gluten intolerance might be more prevalent where wheat was less common. All this interbreeding has got to be playing hell with our natural defenses. -- Drew
