> As nutrition expert Mark Sisson has noted, "Apart from maintaining social conventions in certain situations and obtaining cheap sugar calories, there is absolutely no reason to eat grains."

What a load of crap.

This article does not address the issues concerning grains, including high glycemic index, the presence of the protein gliadin and its poorly understood role in the intestinal tract, and whether a diet without grains (not the question of whole wheat flour vs. white or enriched flour) is overall better for you.

So, I am calling "fail" on your link.

So your argument is that grains are good for you, because those who eat mostly whole grains are less unhealthy than those who eat mostly processed grains? Not sure that's entirely logical.
