<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> from: Don Kasarda, Albany, CA I am afraid I am largely to blame for my "grains letter" not appearing in the archives because I was concerned about USDA regulations concerning publication and possible legal responsibility. I have decided that I am probably being overly conservative and will just post the letter here publicly--with permission as far as I am concerned to put it in the archive. A copy of the letter, which was sent originally to Phyllis Brogden follows: (The only updates I would like to make are that oats may be non-toxic on the basis of some recent testing, but I would recommend waiting until results are published and then consulting an experienced physician before trying oats and there is considerable anecdotal evidence developing, as I expected for these wheats, that spelt and Kawmut are harmful.
