You must have read your studies in a mirror. What they really show (no kidding) is that brain fog dissipates quite a bit with the removal of wheat. Gyro,
for all that I admire and respect your defense of the "good" Dr. to the hilt, your statement about "brain fog" cannot but be offensive.
Greek Philosophers ate wheat in abundance, yet made modern day society as we know it because of the importance of their thought.
Theologicians of old, such as St.Augustine and St.Thomas Aquinas ate wheat.
Philosophers and theologicians of the Far East ate wheat, or rice, or whatever other cereal was the main staple, and they became famous regardless of your "bran fog": Confucius, Lao Tse, Sun Tzu.
George Washington wouldn't have grown to be whom he became had it not been for oatmeal and grits.
Please find me a wheatless philosopher.
The only man whose name comes to mind was Attila the Hun, famous, yet anything BUT a philosopher.
True, he was meatless; yet, he made history as "the Scourge of God".
Good try, I'd rather be Julius Caesar than Attila the Hun any time.
Your call.
And please bring facts other than "The Book", else I'll have to rename you as GyroTaliban
(get the joke?)
