Modern Wheat a "Perfect, Chronic Poison"?
Have you heard Dr. William Davis, the author of Wheat Belly, talk about how wheat changed in the 1960s and 1970s, and that our obesity and health problems may be linked to that change? Not just those of us having trouble with gluten. There's the protein gliadin to consider -- a protein that locks into the same centers of the brain as opiates. If it does cause many people to overeat by 20-25% DAILY, imagine what that means.
This is fixable, but not easily -- the modern wheat produces 10x the amount of grain that older strains produce. I wonder if we could switch cattle to this wheat, and wheat eaters could have older, safer grains?
In the meantime?
Stop eating wheat.
