Editorial Review:
Dangerous Grains turns the U.S. Food Guide Pyramid upside down by exposing the myriad health risks posed by gluten grains (wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut, and triticale). The authors, leading experts in the field of food allergies, and celiac disease, present compelling evidence that our grain-centered diet is to blame for a host of chronic illnesses. Largely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed, these disorders can be prevented and reversed by the useful program outlined in this important new book.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dumbed down but informative
The writer comes across in the first chapter or two as a man with a mission and he is really pushing his point, and a lot of the rest of it is really dumbed down for the average joe to be able to comprehend, but that's okay, too. There's a lot of good stuff in here. If you're one of the many walking (or lying) around with gluten sensitivity and the resulting health problems, the information contained herein can be of great help, if only in educating those around us.
Rating:  - BUY THIS BOOK, PEOPLE
I have a heavy interest in health, nutrition, and food allergy, but I had never read anything quite like this. The information in this book is timely, fascinating, and important. I've known gluten is dangerous, but now I understand why.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: - Great book, a must read
The book is a real shocker. Seems our government is more interested in profit for the food industry rather than tell us the truth about what wheat products and gluten does to us and our health. Its obvious the medical profession and the drug companies would rather not have us know the real truth. We must remember that doctors and drug companies like to treat the symptoms rather than the causes because there is no money in the cause portion. After the book I put myself on a wheat free diet and ... Read More
Rating:  - Not At All Pleased
I bought this book as per my cousin's suggestion because Braly's theory sounded interesting. I absolutely agree with the Foreword when it says: It's undeniable that whole grains are good nutrition for some of us. The problem is that the author spends the next 180 or so pages talking himself out of it. There is NO DOUBT that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are real and can be life-threatening--this book is for such sufferers. But to suggest, over and over again, that the huddled masses should ... Read More
Rating: - I wish I had read this book years ago...
I wish I had read this book years ago... Actually, I accidentally discovered that I was gluten-sensitive a few years before this book was published. I embarked on a low-carb diet -- but not all at once. I was keeping a very detailed food diary, and cutting down/out selected items gradually. Three days after I eliminated the last of the grains, my arthritis (which had forced me to stop playing my violin in public for 5 years!) completely disappeared. In the eight years that I have been avoiding gluten, the ... Read More
