>When I don't eat grains or sugar, and stay fairly low-carb, I am *never* >ill, even when everyone around me is laid low. This was touched on in an earlier post so know at least one person will disagree with me but I'll state it, nonetheless; researchers have yet to find proof of an autoimmune disorder among either the remains of pre-agricultural-revolution humans OR modern hunter-gatherers. Germ-borne illnesses, yes but no heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, nothing. Elimination of various phytoproteins (proteins found in plants) allows the autoimmune system to concentrate on germs. Over the last six years, the worst I've done is a runny nose (unless an infected molar counts - don't even get me started on that!). Enjoy your good health!
