Gluten ≠ all grains

Gluten is a specific protein that shows up in specific grains. If you have a gluten sensitivity, it will wreak havoc on your body. If you do not, eating gluten will do no harm. Healthy whole grains are perfectly okay for everyone to eat (whole grain rice is an example of a healthy grain that is gluten free).

The author, Peter Osborne, is not a doctor - he has no medical degree.
I don’t even think he’s a nutritionist – he is licensed as a chiropractor. There is no scientific merit to this book. It is, at its core, a diet book. And honestly, it’s a bad one. Osborne wants you to think everyone has a gluten sensitivity (they are more common than you think), and that the only solution to any health problem is to cut out every grain from your diet.

It is not a good idea to get nutrition advice from a chiropractor. It’s best to go to a licensed nutritionist if you wish to change your diet to better your health. It is also best to be diagnosed with celiac or gluten intolerance before you remove gluten from your diet. If you don’t have the ability to do either of those, please instead look to [b:Gluten Exposed: The Science Behind the Hype and How to Navigate to a Healthy, Symptom-Free Life|26242363|Gluten Exposed The Science Behind the Hype and How to Navigate to a Healthy, Symptom-Free Life|Peter H.R.

Wow - this is a highly detailed plan to start eliminating pain from your life. It includes many restrictive changes to diet and lifestyle. On the other hand, when you're living with chronic pain you'll do just about anything to be well. Definitely worth the read. ( )

Thought provoking, full of information, a lot of which is not commonly known, this is a good read. However, what he says we need to do to eliminate the grain from our lives is.. frankly, overwhelming. I was depressed after reading this. It's not enough to just eat meat and veggies and fruit, you have to research what the meat was fed, and make sure there are no gmo fruits and veggies, and oh, the worker who picked them happened to have a whole wheat sandwich today, so that's no good either.. Made me think about a lot of things that I previously hadn't considered. ( )
