The Wheat Belly guy (Dr. William Davis) says that today's high-yield hybrid wheat is not what has been eaten for centuries.
He can buy organic wheat berries and flour all over the place that is not a high yield hybrid. Why doesn't he do that? Can find it at Whole Foods etc
An outsider like me hears wheat in no good...end of story

I think that there are strains of older forms of wheat that are LESS harmful than modern semi-dwarf wheat. But I do not believe there are any forms that are entirely benign and consistent with ideal health.
Einkorn is the most benign, yet I believe it still has at least some of the adverse effects shared by all forms of wheat.

Yes, there are, though generally produced by small volume organic farmers.
However, I don’t want you to perceive the Wheat Belly conversation as encouraging consumption of these less harmful, but not entirely harmless, forms of wheat. Wheat consumption has been problematic for humans for as long as we chose to compromise health with its consumption. It’s only gotten much worse due to the manipulations of agribusiness.
