Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yes. Love this, thanks for posting.
I’ve severely reduced the wheat products I eat and feel a heck of a lot better.
Like we need a multi billion dollar agency of wet to regulate the environmental concerns of fish.
I’m not buying it, at all.
Wheat is one of the best, most complete, foods you can eat, if you mill it yourself, whole. It isn’t called “the staff of life” for nothing.
The flour you buy in a sack at the store is worthless. They’ve stripped everything good out of it, then pumped a bunch of chemicals back in so they can call it “enriched.” Junk.
I think moderation is the key to a healthy diet. I’ve lost 40 pounds in the last year by limiting carbs and high fat content food. But once in a while I do scarf a bacon double cheesburger (while they’re still legal).
Wheat mixed with DHMO . . . Zombie Apocalypse??
Not to worry. The resident experts here on FR will deem it safe and call anyone who believes otherwise a gullible fool.
So wheat is a poison because it’s full of calories and prevents people from starving?
This is what really irritates me. Wheat is a “poison”, sugar is a “toxin”. What a bunch of newspeak lies. ARSENIC is a poison, and has no nutritional value at all.
I’m sick of all this garbage being spew as a way to control how people eat.
I agree 100%. My wife and I began an Atkins diet this month. Within 5 days I had more energy than in the last 15 years (i’m 55).My joints feel much more limber. My blood pressure the last 2 evenings was less than 120/80.My wife’s blood sugar was running 125-130 for years, in the last 3 weeks she has checked it as 118,109,106,102,96.I am very noticeably more mentally alert. Haven’t fallen asleep in meetings or Church.
My boss and his wife started the same diet a week after us and have announced parallel results.
Oh.and another nice bonus; i have lost 25 lbs.
There wasn’t a wheat problem until crop circles started showing up.
I gave up all wheat around June 1 because of IBS. I have lost over 20 pounds. I am kind of stuck right now and would like to lose more, I guess I will have to walk the rest off.
Maybe Bloomberg will save us: ban sandwiches with more than one slice of wheat bread!
Gliaden is one of the issues for we celiacs, and the initial bloodtest does measure this.
This is a cardiologist selling his book. While there may or may not be merit to what he is claiming, the involved motives are somewhat suspect.
My wife and I don’t necessarily mind the fad gluten free diet, since it makes it easier for us to find a greater amount of food that doesn’t make me or the twins sick. But I do sometimes worry about the after-effect when the fad disappears. While some people might see some benefit from adopting the diet, for myself and two of the fearsome fivesome, it’s an absolute necessity.
I’m a physician who bought into some of Dr. Davis’ and others ideas.
My weight fell from 207 to 168 pounds with very little else changing for me other than tossing out anything with wheat in it and eating more raw nuts. I made few other dietary modifications including limiting potatoes and other grains. I definitely didn’t increase exercise and if anything was working more than ever.
I’m a believer in a grain free diet. My blood pressure normalized without medications, my HDL increased.
For instance: Frozen pizza or frozen spaghetti dinner. Is it the wheat or all the other questionable ingredients?
Of course you would feel better when you start eating “real” food. Think of all the processed food you can't eat when you are “wheat free.”
Give us this day our daily bread. Personally, I make my own and it is to die for!!!!
Atkins all over again. No one wants to admit he was right.
