Grains were not regularly consumed for most of human history. Humans lack the ability to digest and utilize grains, essentially making them a toxin.
Let’s see your “studies” on the matter then
Make sure they’re all “peer reviewed” too. Since that will be your next argument I’m sure. Let’s see those sources chief.
Also well known grain lobbyist paying millions to discredit fats and proteins (from actual doctors) will be passed off as CTer nonsense.

Extract from article:
Grains are a staple food in the standard American diet. In 2017, Americans used approximately 358.1 million metric tons of grains,
up from 253 million metric tons in 2001.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise considering that governments and dietitians around the world support the idea that grains are a critical component of a
healthy and balanced diet.
We often hear that grains — and particularly whole-grain foods — are essential sources of nutrients, such as
dietary fiber, B vitamins like folic acid, and minerals. The USDA’s dietary guidelines
encourage the consumption of grains, suggesting that eating whole grains can lower
cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The Original USDA Food Pyramid.
In the infamous 1992 Food Pyramid, we were told to eat 6 to 11 servings of bread, rice, cereal and pasta every day! We listened and now
60% of Americans are obese or overweight.
Mark Hyman, M.D.
Although epidemiological evidence consistently demonstrates an inverse association between the intake of whole-grain foods and abdominal obesity — among other purported benefits —
findings of controlled clinical trials are inconclusive.
At the same time, there are
good reasons why you should avoid grains to prevent the
development of inflammation, metabolic problems and chronic diseases. What’s more, grains don’t provide any nutritional benefits that you can’t get from healthier sources of food.
In other words, the consumption of grains makes us sick, and there is no downside to cutting them out of your diet completely.
So how did we get it so wrong?
Flawed studies and pressure from the agriculture industry have convinced us that grains are a healthy part of a balanced diet. In reality, they’re a leading contributor to many of our most common ailments.
In a nutshell, a combination of flawed epidemiological or observational studies (rather than peer-reviewed double-blind studies and clinical trials), the influence of industry interests, and the fact that grains are cheap to produce and store, has created the perfect environment for the development of metabolic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s.
In this article, we will answer the question “what are grains,” explore the history of grains, discuss their role in our diet, explore how healthy grains are, and run down the top 10 reasons why you should never eat grains.
