I'd caution against using the Whole30 as a reliable source of nutrition information. The way they have designed their elimination/reintroduction phases has some issues as well that may prevent people from accurately identifying food sensitivities. I've detailed the scientific inaccuracies in their book, It Starts With Food, in the links below:

That is great stuff Mike! I don't do Whole30 for any other reason than it is a structured way of eating that makes me feel great. I like guidelines and left to my own devices I would exist only on french fries and margaritas. There is so much conflicting (and often, unsupported) opinions on the internet, I just eat what A) I can afford (organic is expensive and I have approx zero time/patience to do my own gardening) makes my body feel good. I very much appreciate your well researched and cited articles. Thank you for posting!
