But a specific allergy to gluten is well-known, tested, and verified phenomenon (it's called celiac disease). What this guy is attempting to pass off as "science" is just a bunch of conjecture about "this isn't what primates eat."
Thousands of years of evidence contradict his rather flimsy conjectures.

Woah, avoiding lectins for 30 days potentially damaging? Everything is possible I guess, but that seems not only highly unlikely, but a stark contrast to the point of the recommendation: a potentially beneficial change to their diets. > That demands a slightly higher standard of evidence than somebody's cute code samples or kid photos. I don't see why, because I don't see any possible danger whatsoever in avoiding grains for a month. If I'm wrong, please illuminate me. I am admittedly, another anecdote case of positive outcome from avoiding grains.
