There's ZERO downside to performing this experiment on yourself,
because wheat doesn't provide you with anything that you can't get
from other, HEALTHIER food sources. Whether you choose to test your
blood sugars, or LDL-P levels, too, during this period of time, is
another matter altogether. The guy in the post above apparently didn't
go that far, but he still got rid of his migraines, food cravings,
GERD, pain in his hands and fingers, post-nasal drip, allergies, and
he got off of some drugs. Quite a reward, I'd say.


So, James, you can take these n-1 experiments as far as you want, and
then see what happens to YOU, or you can decide to wait around for the
perfect "study." You took a plunge once and went low-carb. It
apparently produced dividends for YOU. Which "study" was it that gave
you the confidence to try low-carb?


There are studies as you very well know.


Yeah, but which one convinced you to try it? Surely you must have that
one on the tip of your tongue, eh?

The anecdote is the weakest form of scientific evidence


There is nothing scientific about anecdotes. There's also nothing
scientific about many (maybe most) "studies."

And unless you truly understand the Scientific Method (and most
scientists do not, and virtually no layperson does, and many of the
writers/designers of these "studies" rely on that),



This coming from the guy who claims he's one of the few
that understands the "scientific method" and he's used the
"scientific method" to figure out that:

HIV is harmless
HIV isn't the cause of AIDS
AIDS is caused by poor diet
No virus can cause cancer.
