It is generally thought that grains are good for you. They reduce heart disease and are loaded with fiber.
Unfortunately, many people are becoming aware of a sensitivity to grains, especially gluten. This is especially evident in all of the gluten-free choices -- from products on store shelves to menus in restaurants.

Special guest, Dr. Joseph Mercola, helps you answer that very question in this eye-opening interview.

Grains are supposed to be good for you. But with new research and the "gluten-free" craze, might that be a myth?
