Product Description
Dangerous Grains turns the U.S. Food Guide Pyramid upside down by exposing the myriad health risks posed by gluten grains (wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut, and triticale). The authors, leading experts in the field of food allergies, and celiac disease, present compelling evidence that our grain-centered diet is to blame for a host of chronic illnesses. Largely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed, these disorders can be prevented and reversed by the useful program outlined in this important new book.

 If you have ANY chronic health problems, you MUST follow the advice in this book! December 6, 2008
As a nurse with a private practice for people with chronic health problems, I urge EVERY one of my clients to follow the gluten free practices in this book for AT LEAST two months to see how it affects them. Nearly every single person with a chronic health problem sees some degree of improvement in their health using the principles in this book- some even see 'miraculous' improvements simply because they have undiagnosed gluten sensitivity and stop eating grains.
If you have a health problem, I URGE you to read this book- today!! AND follow the recommendations.
To your health,
Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune System Queen

 Dumbed down but informative March 25, 2008

The writer comes across in the first chapter or two as a man with a mission and he is really pushing his point, and a lot of the rest of it is really dumbed down for the average joe to be able to comprehend, but that's okay, too. There's a lot of good stuff in here. If you're one of the many walking (or lying) around with gluten sensitivity and the resulting health problems, the information contained herein can be of great help, if only in educating those around us.

I have a heavy interest in health, nutrition, and food allergy, but I had never read anything quite like this. The information in this book is timely, fascinating, and important. I've known gluten is dangerous, but now I understand why.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone.
Great book, a must read July 3, 2007

The book is a real shocker. Seems our government is more interested in profit for the food industry rather than tell us the truth about what wheat products and gluten does to us and our health. Its obvious the medical profession and the drug companies would rather not have us know the real truth. We must remember that doctors and drug companies like to treat the symptoms rather than the causes because there is no money in the cause portion. After the book I put myself on a wheat free diet and within 3 weeks I was able to come off the purple pill after being on it for 2 years because of acid reflux. I was paying over $[...] per month for 30 tabs-----No more. You got to read it.

I bought this book as per my cousin's suggestion because Braly's theory sounded interesting. I absolutely agree with the Foreword when it says: It's undeniable that whole grains are good nutrition for some of us. The problem is that the author spends the next 180 or so pages talking himself out of it. There is NO DOUBT that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are real and can be life-threatening--this book is for such sufferers. But to suggest, over and over again, that the huddled masses should go gluten-free, even though asymptomatic, is sliding down a slippery slope. Don't jump on the bandwagon without being fully informed.
