Grains and inflammation

I have been hearing the idea lately that eating grains leads to inflammation throughout the body. This is a hard concept for me to wrap my mind around. Haven't people always eaten grains? How is it possible for a whole food group to be bad for you?

Do some research on genetically altered wheat. You will be shocked and may never eat bread again. I have a feeling that's where the inflammation is coming from. It's not a good idea to genetically alter our food.

Oh, boy. Now I don't want to know. One of my kids is asking every other shopping trip if we can get corn on the cob. I know that GMO corn is in so many things now. But I read that the only corn on the cob you can get in the store now is modified. I know it is irrational to focus on that one food, but I KNOW it is GMO and I can't bring myself to eat it.
