I don't have the time to dissect or praise this book. Everything I would want or could say has already been said and debated in other reviews and comments on Goodreads. I did read Wheat Belly and The Primal Blueprint as well.
So after reading 3 books, it has only lead me to have to do more research. I can say that after reducing meat intake and increasing carbs, and eating that for many years, my HDL has become even lower and my triglycerides went from acceptable to high, which lines up exactly with the theories in this book, The Primal Blueprint, and Wheat Belly. My every day exercise seems to have no impact on raising my HDL, which is supposed to be the best way to do it. It seems that insulin level is the culprit as these three books suggest.
on a side note: the audio on this was like listening to Ben Stein as the teacher in Ferris Bueller....more

I have to agree with the author, stop eating wheat and see how you do. The wheat we eat today is not the wheat of a couple thousand years ago. Do you have to go low-carb? That's debatable as you can research for yourself, but you can't deny that wheat can cause ANYONE problems, as 50% of people with wheat sensitivities do not test positive for that.
