Mark Brown-
I have not watched this for a while and everything must be taken skeptically, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, as I recall there is a piece here where he goes into the issue of why all bread is hard on your system, because all of us have or potentially have "leaky gut" problems and all bread is the worst culprit and that whole grain etc. may be even worse.
I don't have an opinion on it and am just flopping this out here as a pointer to an additional view on that. Just sayin that if you have found that cutting out bread has definite positive results, I would treat that as a gift from the gods, and not frig around with it by thinking that it is just a matter of needing to eat whole grain bread or whatever. At least without doing some more experimentation.
I don't necessarily agree with all of his views here. I pretty much agree on his cheerleading for olive oil as long as it is real high quality olive oil and I pretty much disagree on his views on the consumption of beans, which he disses bigtime. He leans over backwards to point out that the consumption of olive oil is extremely high in so-called blue zones, regions of very high longevity, but as I recall the consumption of various beans is absolutely associated with many high longevity groups.
Anyway...
