And Jim, from an evolutionary point of view, hunter-gatherers just could NOT ingest that much concentrated carbs; we could only do it when we became agriculturalists a mere 15,000 years ago. We are not built for such high carbo diets as eaten today.

The increase in the number of Celiacs or Gluten-Intolerants in this country FINALLY being identified, supports this statement. In Europe, gluten sensitivity is a test commonly administered. In the United States, it is hypothesized that 1 in 200 suffer some degree of gluten intolerance due, in part, to the 'milling' techniques started back during the early 1900's.
