Your comment made me smile. This year I gave up sugar and processed grains and made some interesting observations. 1. Eating wheat seems to cause floaters in my eyes - but only processed wheat. I can eat all sorts of grains from the bulk bin and feel great. Eye doctors have told me they are natural but it got bad enough to make it hard to use a computer. Now I only remember them when I eat something like pizza or bread. 2. A friend from Switzerland won't eat flour in this country. She can't stand the smell (rancid) and grinds her own. She also keeps it in the freezer. It doesn't cause me trouble either. 3. My teeth have never felt cleaner. If I have processed flour or sugar, I actually feel the acid and can't brush them "clean". I've always wondered by natives have good teeth without brushing and modern humans have cavities. 4. I read that wheat has a long history of chemical processing (to get rid of the smut fungus). It makes me wonder if there is a correlation between pesticides/processing and food allergies. (My mom used to say that peanuts have the most pesticides in the US.)
