The way that I eat now is based on a long standing program for health devised by the Internationsl Foundation for Nutrition and Health Their Philosophy: We believe that health starts from the ground up. Decades of research tells us that there is a link between healthy people and a lifestyle that follows a natural whole food diet. It is our belief that most of the research on nutrition before the mid-1940s was done with natural whole foods, whereas the research after WWII was done in most cases with synthesized chemical by-products. We believe natural whole food is therapeutic. It is also our belief that there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. The answers to many of our health needs are well stated and documented in these earlier works using natural whole foods.

Gluten was introducedand added to wheat,rye,and barely in the 1950's and are one of the key ingredients that are thought to cause autoimmune diseases of all kinds.
