Prior to the 20th century most of SE Asia was gluten free.

And what was the average life expectancy in SE Asia prior to the 20th century?

So was the Western Hemisphere prior to Columbus.

What was the average life expectancy in the Western Hemisphere back then?

I’m sure my Cherokee ancestors would have been surprised to know that their diet, which they’d eaten for thousands of years, was unhealthy.

What was the average life expectancy of your Cherokee ancestors?

Right. We're living longer now than at any other time in human history. Yeah, all that gluten and GMO food is killing us. The Roman army conquered the world marching on bread. Too bad they weren't aware of the damage they were doing to their physical well being.

What was the life expectancy anywhere prior to antibiotics and modern medicine?

Do you think wheat leads to longer life?

Let’s look at the Japanese diet. Particularly those who live on Okinawa. Not a lot of wheat in that diet. And their life expectancy and IQ beat ‘Western’ life expectancy and IQ all to hell and back.

Interestingly enough when Japanese migrate to the west and adopt a western diet, their life expectancies fall to match ours.

And the wheat the Romans used in bread making was nothing like that we eat now. That’s new since the 1970’s.

Now, let’s talk Genghis Khan’s army. They didn’t eat very much grain of any kind. At all. And their tiny army annihilated the grain eating Chinese of the day. Just sayin’...
