Part of my ancestry is Scandinavian (we're not entirely sure which country
as my great grandfather was an orphan), and 2 out of 6 of my cousins
developed type I diabetes in the middle of puberty.  No celiac disease
that's known, but who knows, I may have a mild, undiagnosed form.  Also, my
dad's sister on that side of the family got a very rapidly progressing form
of leukemia, and died within 2 weeks of the diagnosis.  With those odds, my
yet-to-be-conceived children will NOT be eating grains, as much as I can
help it.
