(31,783 posts)Not being flippant - but those of us with genetic/chronic/auto immune diseases look at this 'science' as old news. You don't have to have celiac's disease - to feel your back 'freeze' - if you eat a sandwich of 'whole grain' bread. :nonono: I've found completely eliminating starch (including things like rice and quinoa) have made a tremendous impact on how my Ankylosing Sponylitis and R.A. present themselves.
If true health issues are not a concern - then stick with the food pyramid.
If there is an auto immune disease present - what's wrong with turning to food BEFORE drugs? Example - A.S. they tend to prescribe Enbrel - it's one big cancer causer we shoot ourselves up with once a week.
Not me - not anymore. Not gonna do it. Just sticking to fish, veggies, fruit, lean meat, and limited dairy.
My life doesn't suck because I don't eat pasta.
