The level of hate here seems unwarranted.
I've posted a lot on this subject on HN, but ultimately this isn't something that needs to be debated. Anyone can experiment for themselves. Try eliminating grain (esp. wheat) from your diet for a month or so and see how you feel. If you want to go all out, do a whole30[1]. If you see no benefits, then stop, nothing lost. If you're like me and your weight and cholesterol levels drop, then yay. Debate on this topic is less productive than empirical investigation.

- IsaacL 14y agoYes, I too am confused by how paleo makes some people so angry. Try it for yourself, or don't, who cares? About two months I tried massively reducing the amount of sugar and carbs I consume, and saw good results. I wouldn't call my diet "paleo" since I'm not super strict about it (I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning, I take Saturdays off as a day to eat whatever I want, I consume lots of dairy because I'm trying to bulk up and its an easy way to get protein), but even with those relaxed restrictions, I feel way better. After a week or two of cravings, I don't even want to eat high-carb staples like bread, pasta or rice before - I now see them as just a cheap way to fill yourself up.
