Just wildly incorrect. https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-of-whole-grain-pa...

Sure it might be better to avoid milled grains, but if you do, (the vast vast majority of people don't avoid them) they should be whole or brown.

What's more, if you're talking ancestral diet, it should certainly includes grains like wild rice, whole barley, rough milled wheat, farro, and quinoa.

Lots of studies out there which are correlational and thus meaningless, or worse, studies which intentionally produce false results due to being bought-and-paid-for. I don't have time to look at each link that page cites, but for example the American Heart Association is a terrible entity with worse than worthless recommendations which are completely not backed up by science.

Most of human evolutionary history was hunter-gatherer times, and they were not eating wheat. Farming is a relatively recent invention.
