Default 2012 Low-Carb Cruise Lecture (videos): Dr. William Davis


Dr. Davis is the author of the book "Wheat Belly."

“So this notion of eat more healthy whole grains has been enormously
profitable for the medical industry because it creates
hyperinsulinemia, prediabetes, diabetes, hypertension, congestive
heart failure, coronary disease, rheumatoid arthritis…on and on and
on. All those things require drugs. And have you seen the bill on some
of these drugs?”

“Eat more healthy whole grains is enormously successful if you view it
from a revenue-generating viewpoint.”

“I want to make this absolutely clear–we do not eat gluten-free
foods…there’s this boom in gluten-free, this notion that gluten is
bad. Well gluten is bad. But gluten-free foods are not good. So if we
take wheat and gluten out of our foods and we want to create a
reasonable facsimile of breads, muffins, cookies, etc., they use corn
starch, rice starch, tapioca starch and potato starch. Dried, powdered
starches that raise blood sugar higher than even wheat…so if you eat
gluten-free, you will get fat!”

“Just as low-fat was a big mistake, gluten-free is a big blunder. So
no gluten-free foods unless you want plenty of health problems.”

“You guys know you eat vegetables, real food, nuts, seeds, meats,
pork, chicken, poultry, fish, avocados. But the thing I want to stress
to you is, don’t fall for that advice, ‘Oh, but you need some whole
grains. It’s good for your bowel health.’ No it’s not!”
