Max Lugavere on high-starch grains and gluten: warns against

Max Lugavere says eliminating grains improved his own health and has claimed the human body can’t properly digest gluten. Per interviews and reviews of Genius Foods, he promotes low-carbohydrate diets rich in micronutrients and fiber, with grains minimized.

His stated reasoning — attributed to Lugavere, not established science — is that high-starch grains contribute to metabolic dysfunction while offering little his framework values, and that gluten poses a digestive burden. His documentary Little Empty Boxes extends this argument to breakfast cereal and refined flour, which it depicts as detrimental to health.
