“Grain Brain”: How your food choices can determine your brain’s destiny
Video taken from the channel: CBS This Morning
All grains do contain some form of gluten (which is a generic name for protein in the grain), but only wheat, barley, and rye contain the type of gluten that’s a problem in celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.8 Gluten-Free Grains That Are Super Healthy 1. Sorghum. Sorghum is typically cultivated as both a cereal grain and animal feed.
It’s also used to produce sorghum 2. Quinoa. Quinoa has quickly become one of the most popular gluten-free grains. It’s incredibly versatile and a good 3. Oats. Oats.
Gluten (from Latin gluten, “to stick”) is a group of proteins found in cereal grains. These proteins, called prolamins and glutelins, comprise 75–85% of the total protein in bread wheat. Glutens occur in wheat species such as spelt, khorasan, emmer, einkorn, and triticale, barley, rye, and oats, as well as in products derived from these grains, such as breads and malts. Glutens, especially Triticeae glutens, have viscoelasticand adhesive properties, which give dough its elas.
Gluten is the name given to the protein found in some, but not all, grains: Grains containing gluten – wheat (including wheat varieties like spelt, kamut, farro and durum, plus products like bulgar and semolina), barley, rye, triticale and oats* Gluten free grains – corn, millet, rice, sorghum.Wheat, Barley and Rye Wheat, barley and rye are the three main gluten-containing grains. The gluten in wheat is named gliadin, while the type of gluten in barley is hordein and the one in rye is secalin. Other species of wheat, such as triticale, kamut and spelt, also contain gluten.These include: rice oats quinoa flax millet sorghum tapioca buckwheat arrowroot amaranth.
A gluten intolerance is the body’s inability to digest or break down the gluten protein found in wheat and certain other grains. Also known as a.People with celiac disease aren’t able to properly digest gluten—the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, or any foods that have a combination of those grains.Early versions of gluten-free foods often did not contain whole grains; they relied heavily on white rice flour and corn or tapioca starch. The good news is that trend seems to be changing as manufacturers introduce more products containing gluten-free whole grains.
What exactly is a whole grain.7. Rice. As far as gluten-free grains go, rice is the most widely consumed staple food for large portions of the world. There are many varieties of rice, including short grain, long grain, jasmine, basmati, and wild rice.
Rice also comes in a variety of colors, though the main two options are white and brown.What is Gluten? Gluten occurs naturally in wheat, rye, barley, and crossbreeds of these grains. Foods that typically contain gluten include breads, cakes, cereals, pastas, and many other.
Gluten is a protein in wheat (all kinds, including spelt, Kamut® khorasan, einkorn and farro/emmer), barley, rye and triticale (a rye/wheat hybrid) that is hard for some people to digest.Most distilled alcoholic beverages and vinegars are gluten-free.These distilled products do not contain any harmful gluten peptides even if they are made from gluten-containing grains. Research indicates that the gluten peptide is too large to carry over in the distillation process, leaving the resulting liquid gluten.Gluten is a Latin word and it means glue, mixture of proteins found in wheat, rye, oats and barley and all the ancient and hybrid grains like Spelt, Khorasan and Triticale.
Just like its name which.Gluten is a protein that’s found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a wheat / rye hybrid). It’s only found in these four grains – so people who have celiac disease or are otherwise gluten-intolerant still have plenty of great choices of whole grains to enjoy.
Gluten-free does not mean whole grain-free!

This isn’t journalism, it’s 4 actors, bought and paid for to stick to a script. The objective: to maintain and grow a consumer base for sponsors of the show, corporations and big pharma.
Why bother wasting your breathe on these people, they’re so gd cynical.
Obviously, these people are being paid by corporations, and rather than examining the book and his theories, they pretty much attacked him. The Dr. is an intelligent guy and brush them aside easily. I read his book and he is really on point, trying to spread information about health. What could be wrong about that?
While Doctor was being attacked, all I heard was oink oink oink song
Big pharma only wants to use drugs to fix things, keto diet is your friend they need to let the man talk he’s advocating good things here
Keep going, Dr. Perlmutter! People are listening and the grain industry is shaking in their boots! More power to you, Dr. William Davis, Dr. Berg, Dr Sebi (rip), Dr. Kelly Ann Petruccio and to the mighty Truth. Guys, if u wanna eat sugar, eat FRUIT. C’mon it’s already in a nice package and everything. �� U don’t have to be keto, u can be paleo based. Starches and grains are for stiiffening your shirts not your delicate body tissues. ��✌��☉��
These people are such d*ckheads. Dr. Perlmutter was my neurologist back in 1997. I was 12 years old and in a wheelchair being told by many physicians that I would never walk again. He put me on a treatment plan, and within a weeks time, I was walking again. I have so much respect for this man. I ran into him 20 years later in the Apple store in Naples where we live and he remembered me and my mother. I had no clue he had become so well known or that he even had this book out. He’s my hero and I hope his message falls upon the right ears to help people in need!
I agree with the doctor. He is a intelligent man. People just don’t like to be told what to eat or not eat… What to do or not do in general.
Whole Food Plant Based will prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Eggs, meat, and dairy cause all our diseases.
But people don’t want to hear this.
Whole food low fat vegan plant based diet is at the top, he is confused in his grain brain ������
I rarely ever comment on public videos. But I must say, shame on every single one of these anchors for being so blatantly disrespectful, and to a highly respected and accomplished doctor. I wonder what special interest paid for them to all try to make him look so bad. All of the questions were loaded and he rose above every single one. This man is only trying to help the public, yet people ignorantly can’t stop to think critically for a moment. So sad!
Wow, they are super rude with him! Guess they are not wanting to hear about sugar!
TV is such junk. It looked like a bit of an effort to debunk him. He handled it well, particularly by saying he had respect for David Katz but the book is about prevention, not cure. But this is the game the establishment plays (yes, Katz would represent the establishment position). They mischaracterize your position in order to make you look like a quack. Well done David.
Inconvenient truth is exactly right. Dr. P knows what he is talking about but it seems to go in one ear and out the other. I think Gayle plans to keep on eating that sugar.:)
This absolutely WAS not an interview to really learn from him!!! They wanted to make sure they poked him af much as they could and try to tear down what he was saying!!! The Dr did a great job at making his points and proving to be able to not be flustered by their bias!!!
Grains give me nightmares, I can cheat and eat some sugar but grains are horrifying. If you have mental health problems try cutting them out!
Dr. Perlmutter is so smart. I applaud him for having the spine to go on tv and debate four people who clearly are attacking his work. He responds so confidently and calmly.
My personal experience DR CRAP PERLMUTTER doesnt care about his patients.. his “research” is halfass and hes a sellout doctor writing books that leave out addressing real root causes.. he doesnt deserve any screen time. He is a Crap doctor. BEWARE of this fraud.
I gave up to sugar, dairy, coffe,I eat a low carb diet, basically lean organic meat and vegetables but I truly don’t feel healthier or better.
What he is saying about grain and sugar, is absolutely true. I don’t understand why they hosts are being so combative.
I want doughnuts right now to soak-up the alcohol in my body
Society is so warped nowadays, Dr. Perlmutter was making so much sense. Fact is you put junk into the body and in your old age it will not give back to you. Help your body help you live.
refined sugar is basically a class A drug and it’s as addictive as cocaine. Perlmutter’s right and if we don’t start paying a lot more attention to people like Perlmutter, Gary Taubes, Dr Georgia Ede, Nora Gedgaudas and Dr Zsofia Clemens the health of the citizens in nations such as the USA and the UK will continue to decline.
I can’t believe the level of greed demonstrated by the sugar association and the Alzheimer’s group. His statements are directly related and corroborated by cutting edge research. Wake UP people! Whoever is Dr. Katz(sp?) needs to stop drinking the coolaid.
the sad thing is no one wants to hear dont eat sugar or bread… people dont do ell with elimination or moderation.
I completely agree! Our brain main nutrient is Fat not Sugar! Sugar is horrible for you!
It’s absolutely disgraceful the way they treated him. Naysayers are going to have a harsh wake up call one day!
Do these morons even prepare for the guests they have? Don’t attack the man because you don’t want to give up your daily donut lmao
Dr David Perlmutter, what a gentleman. Dr David Perlmutter, a neurologist that cares more about helping the public, than financially pleasing himself…
Everything he said is what I think many of us have come to connect some dots about. It is what it is prevention is everything.
“With all due respect, most people are down on what they are not up on” -Dr. Perlmutter I think he was referring to the CBS staff as well. For individuals who were so uneducated about his book, they had a lot of pushback. I’m all for presenting the opposing arguments so he can respond, but the tone taken was really unprofessional for an unbiased news source. I expect more from you CBS. This is an incredibly serious issue.
The reason why there’re so much interruptions by the hosts? Ignorance!
Those anchors were disgraceful. Thank you Dr. Perelmutter for standing your ground above the gaggle of naysayers, who only think they know what they’re talking about, and speaking the truth of science. Let Them have their truffle pasta and their heart attacks (can’t believe she said it like that was a good thing!!) we’ll take your wisdom to better brain health.
I read the book and loved its focus on Prevention, as opposed to “curing” the materialised decease, which is what formal medicine does.
Why are they attacking him? The man knows what he is talking about! But big pharma don’t like what he is preaching. He is preaching prevention while big pharma promotes medicating/treatment but no cure. Wonder why we don’t hear of finding cures in these modern times?!! Big pharma would not make money from curing people…they’d rather keep you medicated all your life.
Idiots Exercise is key. No. Getting rid of sugar and carbs is key.
Thats wierd. Blue zones are zones where people eat a lot of fruits vegetables and whole grains.
These hosts acted like uneducated,out of touch imbecels..paid for by advertisers…these programs show how elite & out of touch these truffle eating morons are.
A man with an IQ above 180 talking to degenerate defective morons.
They were all very rude. Thank you Dr.Perlmutter for all your work and the commitment to improve the lives of us all.
Dr. Pearlmutter is a genius these anchors interrogated him for no reason they’re all idiots. I see so many people say exercise exercise exercise and they’re still vastly overweight with health issues because they eat like �� and wonder why they’re not changing
This Doctor:
I’m jamming frequencies in your brain when speak to me
Both Japan & India are countries that are low in dimentia and Alzheimer’s yet eat lots of white rice.
Why are they so misinformed, rude and keep interrupting the Doctor. Thank you Doctor.
I can’t believe you were so rude to your guest. It’s almost like you were prepared to disagree to anything he said before he got there. Dr. Perlmutter is an expert on brain health. If you believe in everything in moderation that is your choice. Sugar is truly more addictive than heroin. Would you take heroin in moderation? Of course the best of us do indulge in sugar now and then. It doesn’t make it healthy. The video you showed to dispute him was prepared by the sugar industry.
It’s almost like they are sponsored by food companies that manufacture high carb foods. Oh wait…
I am disappointed in the hosts here. For shame, to gang up on a guest. I just started reading his book today and saw this tonight. Thank you Dr. P! You were graceful, articulate and eloquent.
Sugar, wheat and carbs shrinks and destroy my brain. I kick them for week and have super power effects
What a crock of crap! The world gets 35% of it’s calories from wheat alone! If this guy was right, we wouldn’t be here to discuss it. And in places where more grain and lentils are consumed, they are breeding like flies, doing very well. Just pick Alzheimer’s and blame that on sugar and carbohydrates. This guy will make a bunch of money lying like Trump. Lying about preventing Alzheimer’s. Paid by the meat lobby. Eat more meat, defeat Alzheimer’s!
I have never heard a single legitimate scientist make a big deal out of gluten
This doctor is so much more trustworthy than the Alzheimer’s Association, which is funded by some of the biggest, baddest corporations that the world has ever seen. Yeah, they would have to reproduce a statement that suggests that the drugs are better than the foods, but that is dubious. Changes in the diet are more efficient than just adding some pharmaceutical. That should be obvious for prevention. The station remains skeptical only insofar as they’re funded by pharmaceutical companies, too.
TRUFFLE PASTA?!!! Yeah that’ll really connect with the average person! How tone deaf and out of touch can she be? Where do you even get that?
“Prevention”, totally agree, but we’re still nipping at the corners & not hitting the main target. I’m fine. I don’t have thoughts of sugar (your words). When I was young, nor then. In my 20s this was something that spontaneously popped up, so I’m wondering if witchcraft had something to do w/ it. I’m serious, so, I need to force myself to be aware of my senses I literally needed to catch myself at the very moment of even thinking about it, yeah, & that’s what I did, but never was I ever walking around thinking about sugar, hanging around sugar, or manipulating my way into taking someones donut or candy from someone else, period. Now today & again, I’m surrounding by these radicals that in the past were continously invading my privacy, & carrying on this way for years, stalking me, & isolating me, manipulating me & others around me, even making me sick; & now today, they are doing the same kinds of things all over again, & being much more sophisticated in their assault. If you have been following me on Gibber, (you probably are) you would have heard my accounts of their actions many times. They are trying to draw on public opinion. They are doing everything to avoid judicial action. Why is that? These radicals are very much tied into our judicial digestive system, yet they have destroyed & altered all my personal records. So, whose side are you on? I’ll believe the statistics of the juvenile judicial digestive system & not your gut feelings, & I will say that I was definitely some who was trying to be conscious about good mental & physical health. I’m very interested in knowing what these ppl falsified in my personal records. Mentors, teachers, & artists around me were getting hurt. I think that’s what we should really be focusing on! I was never incarcerated, nor served a probation or a parole. When I was a teen, I should have. I made very few mistakes. There’s another side to this story, and everyone is dogging it. I will say it again and again: We were all getting seriously hurt & abused as small children by these radicals, and yes they did! Never did they have good intentions towards my family. Ppl now know who my family is. It’s not going away so you better think of facing the facts, & stop trying to weasel your way out.
Those hosts would have preferred to hear good things about their bad behavior.
The media. SMH! Why not listen? Why not ask good questions? It ok to challenge the author but this was over the top.
I’m not one to ever go to doctors a lot… Which obviously means that I haven’t given a few issues a lot of attention. For instance insomnia and migraines, that I struggle with chronically. So last year, when I actually visited a doctor because I was having “problems with my gut” (quite ironically, come to think of it…) I casually mentioned to him that I have always struggled with migraines and insomnia… After that I have visited a few doctors and specialists, but something that stood out to me was that no one was really interested in helping me solve my problems and yet… they prescribed to me a truck load of anti-depressants, anxiety meds and even bi-polar meds with the intention to prevent migraines and help me sleep… I found it quite strange, seeing that no-one diagnosed me with any of those conditions. I tried a few tablets of each and it made me feel worse than ever and even reduced my sleep. I have now finally reached a point where I cant help but question doctors that don’t ask me about my lifestyle choices and my diet and just directly prescribe some meds… ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS ANTI-DEPS! Two years ago, I got the flu. It triggered migraines too. I took so many pills, I think it inflammed my stomach (which I now wonder if it actually came down to having my gut inflammed or unhappy). I had terrible heart burn and couldnt get or keep food in my stomach. I had no bowel movements and I kept on throwing up everything that I tried to eat. I took more pills. I was feeling worse and worse. I didn’t go to a doctor though hahaha (like I said, I don’t usually visit a doctor for just “anything”). I decided to add an extensive amount of fiber to my diet, to see if that will help AND THAT DID THE TRICK! I was amazed. After three weeks of meds and struggling, all I needed was some oats and dates etc etc etc haha. I was thinking about that a lot recently and decided to start looking at my food as medicine. I am listening to a lot of videos and reading a lot and I have to say… I take someone like Dr David much more serious as a Doctor, than the GPs, neurologists, brain surgeons, etc, that I visited since last year. I’m starting to realise what a big difference lifestyle changes will make and how much sugar I have actually been eating… I’ve started eating better a week ago and I can only thank people like Dr David, for the research that he has done and that he isn’t afraid to make “shocking claims or points or facts” (however people choose to look at it..). To me, it all makes so much more sense now.
I bet one day these hosts will look back on this attack of this knowledgeable doctor and regret 100% of their stupid comments! It was 4 of them attacking him and he still won the discussion! I’m embarrassed for them! Honestly they sound so uneducated about health! Almost everyone knows what he said is true!
Now I remember why I stopped watching this show! Gayle King is rude and overly opinionated for a journalist. Jeez, let the guy talk, and give him basic respect as a human. We can listen and form our own opinion but only if we get to listen to him speak! I think this guy is right about sugar, gluten and the carbs that come with them.
CBS is ran by satanist who control the food industry! The hosts are just puppets sent to lie to the public and scrutinize the societal rebels!
There’s a verse in the Bible about throwing Pearls to the Swine, this is an example of this. Agree with Dr. Perlmutter very good advice, backed up by research. CBS supports big Pharma, Big Gov. FDA, CDC etc. We’ve been on the so called noodle low fat diet since the 80’s, guess what it’s not working, people are getting fatter and sicker from it. Eat lots of organic above ground Vegatables, limited amount of grass/organic meats and wild caught fish. Eat whole organic fruits, lots of pure water, toss out the refined white salt, eat only mineral Salt. Eat well prepared beans and lentils and legumes. Drink Raw Milk or coconut milk, Avocado’s are delicious, green organic Olive oil. Be sure to do that High Intensity Exercise Daily, just a 15 min routine will be great if done in 5-7 cycles of 2-3 mins each. Avoid soy unless it’s fermented, making your own fermented Veg. is so simple, and taste great. A large Dinner plate of Organic Salad stuff each day will fill you up with few calories, Balsamic vinegar and olive oil to Dress.
I hate how mainstream television mows over people and has no real interest in reporting true discovery…that’s the vibe I get.
This felt like an interrogation. Good for him though. I’m going to buy the book.
He possesses a gentle, peaceful quality about him (especially in that most doctors do not have easy lifestyles) which to me is usually a sign of good health; i.e. he practices what he preaches and the visual results plus his overall deportment validate his claims. Grains break down into simple sugars which trigger inflammation. Inflammation is a precursor to a good many diseases not the least of which is cancer. Also consider Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (and the long list of ramifications of each), etc. Do your homework like he has done. 1/2019
It’s amazing how these mental morons argue with a scientist like they know better and I’ll let them get sick
I love Dr. David Perlmutter ❤️, I’m Hispanic and I grew up eating �� rice, bread, beans, tortilla, lots of sugar and very little veggies ☹️, I read he’s book and it was a life changing, I’ve lost 40 pounds, I have run 5k, 10k and 15k. I have removed sugar from my life, lower lots of carbs, (I don’t eat any kind of bread ��) and I’m eating healthy fats, all the ones that I avoid after having my kids, which I thought those fats, like butter were the reason I gained so much weight (now I enjoy all those good fats) Thanks to Dr. Perlmutter and many others sources that I determined my self to learn from, not only I lost fat from my body but I gained a better life, and hoping also change my kids and husband health for better.
Why such hostility after you’ve invited someone on your show?? This was almost embarrassing to watch.
Why can’t they let the doctor speak and why have someone on your show just to disagree with him when you have no idea what you’re talking about!!! I completely agree with the doctor. Anti inflammatory is key!!!
My schizophrenia symptoms got cut in half when I went meat only. I’m talking to family members I haven’t talked to in 20 years now. Try and convince me grains are good for me now.
the mainstream media is either gullible or evil. I’m siding on both.
They ganged up on him and he told them the truth. A POLITICIAN told us to limit fats and eat more Carbs. Why did we listen to that non medically eduated foot?
He handled all their “gotcha” questions beautifully. I’m sure if he’d been a vegan doctor they would have treated him with a lot more respect and deference. What a biased media we have!
He did a great job answering the questions. The anchors ask him challenging questions to get those answers out of him. I don’t think they are personally skeptical of his claims.
I’ll be sure to read his book. I agree lots of sugar and carbs are a bad idea.
