> It appears that Asians consume rice without ill effect.

Asians have much higher rates of auto-immune disorders including several
times the cancer rates of Americans.  Lectins in rice also cause several
types of malnutrition that predominate in Asia.  China also has one of the
highest rates of obesity in the world according to a recent Wall Street
Journal article.

If 95% of Americans die of Auto-immune disorders caused by eating grains and
other technology-dependent foods, I think it's safe to assume that they are
safe only for those who are about to die from auto accidents or contagious
diseases.
