That's simply untrue. We're not talking GM here.

Wheat is NOT "genetically-modified":

But I am dubious that it's as widely
prevalent as Wheat Belly claims.


Skepticism is a healthy attribute. Fortunately, those claims are
pretty easy to test on yourself (the person you should care about
most).

Or you can wait for "studies."

Wheat is not a beneficial source of starch


It's not a beneficial source of anything.

Except maybe HUGE profits for the food companies, drug companies, and
organizations like the ADA.
