Anna,

With respect to grains and (seemingly to a lesser extent for you) dairy, one
has to remember that the very oldest use is around 10,000 years ago.  That's
only about 300 generations.  So for example, although descendants of the
first agriculturalists, the middle easterners, handle grains better than
scandinavians, they, too, would probably be healthier on a grain free diet.

On another note, check your PBS website for "Wilds of Europe."  The're
repeating it here (LA station) on sunday, all three 2 hour episodes in a
row.

Best of luck,

B. Lischer
