Besides the American epidemics of wheat belly, overweight and type 2 Diabetes which are probably directly related to the push to make Americans eat more carbohydrates, these high carb diets may be destroying our brains, causing more senility, depression, possibly Parkinson’s disease, and other devastating/debility CNS problems.
The book linked below, “Grain Brain” is written by a boarded neurologist and highlights the danger of the high carb low fat diets pushed by our liberal doctors and their liberal medical schools.

Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar—Your Brain’s Silent Killers
by
David Perlmutter,
Kristin Loberg
Overview- A #1 New York Times bestseller—the devastating truth about the effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain, with a 4-week plan to achieve optimum health. Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that’s been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.
Perlmutter’s book is available in hard cover and on Kindle at about half price.
Just adding to your excellent post - modern dwarf wheat varieties are not only nutritionally distinct from the Emmer and Einkorn wheat that our ancestors ate; the nutrients are also processed/refined right out of them.
