Susan Carmack posted this to the raw-food list. I was wondering if Ray had
any comments. Don.

After I saw Renee Taylor's books mentioned in Cancer Disease of
Civilization? by Stefansson I bought one of her books, Hunza Health Secrets
for long life and happiness.
Whole wheat is used in Hunza cooking. Perhaps the wheat of the Hunza people
is low gluten that they live so long?
They also use milk products.

The Hunza people live in a part of West Pakistan isolated from civilization.

I reread and found they eat chapattis [a low-gluten flat bread].
The Hunza people are covered in Chapter 17 of Cancer: Disease of
Civilization? From page 148, "My own experience provides an example of a
race, unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general, whose sole food consists to this day of grains, (wheat, barley,
maize) vegetables, and fruits, with a certain amount of milk and butter, and
goat's meat only on feast days."
