On the evils of wheat
He mentions other issues like high fructose sweeteners as I recall. There are other issues such as pesticide and other persistent organic pollutants that are contributing, IMO. He does mention vitamin D a fair bit which has been a hobby horse of my own in the past. Trig Down 7 inches around the waist since I dropped grains. |

Interesting that he mentions einkorn. *I only know about that species of grain because it was found in the stomach contents of "Otsi the Iceman" the ancient frozen mummy that was discovered in the Apls in the 1990s. Einkorn is now obscure but was actively cultivated millennia ago. *It's a gluten bearing grain but the gluten is different enough that it might not be harmful to wheat intolerant folks. *I've tried spelt and kamut and those trigger symptoms in me. *I've tried rye, barley and oats and those do not trigger symptoms in me. *Everyone who has intolerance reactions can expect to get different results when doing personal experimentation. Personally I can eat them all without intolerance. But I get fat and they spike the blood glucose and that includes all rices white and whole grain, millet, etc. Grains are animal food around my house. And even for the animals, I've been using more legumes. Which is something I need to do more research to get a handle as to whether this is a move towards a better diet. Understand my intake is rather limited. For the celiac folk, gluten often has ruined their health by the time the Docs get a bead on their patients problem. Better to know when one is a little kid than when one is 20 or 25 or 40 years of age. It does make wonder how early it can be found? This can run in families so if you have a cousin or sib with ailment watch out. |
