=== Why Gluten Is Inflammatory (01:51) ===

[00:00:00]  I use as the roadmap the foods that invite health, healing, and anti-inflammation into your body.
[00:00:07]  It literally, we put you on an anti-inflammatory diet.
[00:00:12]  And you say, well, wait, didn't you write a book similar to that years ago?
[00:00:15]  What would Jesus Eat?
[00:00:17]  Well, what I found is you can even eat the foods Jesus ate.
[00:00:21]  And if I'd continued eating just those foods, I wouldn't have overcome psoriasis.
[00:00:26]  Because Jesus said, give us this day our daily bread.
[00:00:28]  If I'd continued eating bread, the very bread I was eating was inflaming my body.
[00:00:32]  But Jesus' bread wasn't made the way our bread is.
[00:00:34]  Exactly.
[00:00:36]  Our bread is processed, and we don't have the same grains they had back then.
[00:00:40]  Right now, most all the wheat is highly inflammatory for so many health conditions.
[00:00:47]  It raises so many people's blood sugar.
[00:00:49]  It raises cholesterol.
[00:00:50]  It raises blood pressure.
[00:00:53]  For patients with dementia, it invites dementia to the brain.
[00:00:56]  For so many people, one of the first things.
[00:00:58]  Dementia.
[00:00:58]  Dementia?
[00:00:59]  Yes, because one of the first things I do...
[00:01:02]  That's the scariest thing to us old people.
[00:01:04]  Well, dementia.
[00:01:06]  You know, you start forgetting things and you see it.
[00:01:08]  Oh, my God.
[00:01:11]  Yeah, I don't see you as an old person.
[00:01:12]  I see you as a young person.
[00:01:14]  But the first thing I do when I see a patient with dementia is I take them off the gluten.
[00:01:21]  Dr. David Perlmutter is one of the leading neurologists in the world today.
[00:01:27]  And he finds that gluten is inflammatory for most people, especially the brains.
[00:01:32]  That's one of the first things he does for his dementia patients.
[00:01:35]  He gets them off the gluten.
[00:01:36]  He does that for ADD patients, ADHD.
[00:01:40]  You know, this is an inflammatory grain.
[00:01:43]  And so that's why we have alternatives.
[00:01:45]  Now, for the majority of people without dementia, that's not a problem.
[00:01:48]  If you are healthy, then it's not a problem.
