Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, MD

Has anyone read the book, Grain Brain? I found it interesting the link between high-carb diets, diabetes and other brain diseases. The same plaque that develops from high-carb diets (a mis-folding of the protein chain) is the same type of plaque that builds up in the brain and causes Alzheimer's Disease. I found it thought provoking that the inflammation from gluten contributes to autism and ADHD.

 

I was very appreciative of the author citing his research and play to read some of those studies that most intrigue me.

I'm reading it now after hearing and interview with him.   So far it's a great read.  I went to his website and the amount of links to studies is staggering.  It was actually very nice to see since the introduction of the book came off as a bit of "snake oil".  That feel seemed to die down once I got into the actual meat of the book.
