It's interesting, because while I can see where you're coming from, it's extremely to take any of this seriously given the low-carb reaction to the PURE study 6 months ago
What? We fortify grains because folic acid is often hard to come by for low-income people and a small expenditure on flour saves countless lives. We fortify salt for similar reasons. That reads like an ideological rant, sorry

Let's back up a bit. I was so astonished to hear that you think grains are an essential source of nutrition that my tone was probably affected by it. We didn't even have a reliable source of grain until ~10K years ago. It doesn't make sense to think we need them as a species.

It sounds to me like you're submitting that until we had grain agriculture we didn't have sufficient micronutrients to avoid metabolic diseases, but this was never tested because people didn't live long enough to develop them.
