"Is Gluten Making Us Fat" article on yahoo website

[flashgordonv]

Problem is, going strictly gluten free needs to be accompanied by going simple carb free too. Just read a book entitled "Why We Get Fat" and he lays it out though he doesn't talk about gluten! His target is insulin and it is a big one. A must read, for sure, even for people who are not fat because, if he is right - and he cites a lot of good science - insulin is definitely something that should be considered an enemy in the same way stress is: it's good when it is triggered for the right reasons in the right circumstances, but getting turned on too much, too strong, and too often is deadly for everyone.

I have just read this one as well. The cycle seems to be carbs drive insulin, insulin drives fat. He makes a very strong case for high protein/ fat and low carbs and backs it up with lots of research and science. One of the illuminating things for me was that this logic, this data was well known in the earlier part of the 20th century and was only abandoned for the eat less/ exercise more/ eat more carbs program in the late 1970/ 1980s.
