This Is Your Brain on Gluten
- joeblau 12y agoWhat is the TLDR please?
- anigbrowl 12y agoCarbs rot your brain, so you should avoid grains and eat like a caveman. Or maybe not? One thing is for sure, people like reading about diets more than they like sticking to them. Meantime, you can subscribe for only $$ a year.
- joeclark77 12y agoWhere would you find a control group for this kind of study? People who never tasted anything made from wheat?
- anigbrowl 12y agoSmall indigenous groups like the Inuit maybe? but then you've got a bunch of other factors to screen out. I presume Perlmutter's hostility to grains includes rice and other high-carb grains, which rules out Japan and other Asian countries where wheat is less popular.
- un_publishable 12y agoDr. David Perlmutter should be ashamed for contributing to the trend of lumping ADHD in with huge lists of symptoms such as (quote): "dementia, decreased libido, depression, chronic headaches, anxiety, epilepsy, and ADHD" ADD and ADHD may not be as crippling as some mental conditions, but there is real peer-reviewed medical research out there concerning diagnosis and treatment. Hint: counseling and doctor-prescribed medication is more effective than homeopathy and trivial diet changes. People just want an easy solution and someone to blame.
