The War on Wheat - the fifth estate

​It's a multi-billion dollar battle for your belly. Millions of people are joining the anti-wheat revolution.
Kellogg's, the world's largest cereal maker, has seen its biggest drop in sales since the 1970s. Food companies are selling off their struggling bread divisions. It's all because best-selling health evangelists say that wheat is causing everything from fat bellies to schizophrenia. But do they have science on their side? Mark Kelley takes a hard look at what's driving a movement that is dramatically changing the way we eat.

Yes and apparently the symptoms of glyphosate poisoning are virtually identical to those of celiac. So it might not be the gluten it might be the glyphosate. And it's sprayed on wheat, corn, oats, soybeans and more which means that if it is the glyphosate, merely avoiding wheat is not the answer.

[@snowyowl6892]

Great Info … Stephanie Seneff said two things : 2. Glyphosate (in everything we eat/drink) uncouples the tight junctions in the gut that protect us from food waste moving through the gut wall. The uncoupling allows toxins in and is the cause of many illnesses (not least leaky gut) 2. Glyphosate molecule is similar to that of GLYCINE which is very necessary for our health. This allows the totally toxic Glyphosate to bind to the receptor sites for Glycine - so our health deteriorates. Authorities claim Glyphosate is harmless ??? Apparently it is used world wide and is poisoning the planet. Research ZACH BUSH -his *Vermont* lecture is a good place to start.

I'm with you on that. I'm thin healthy and run around the oval. I left the dago diet behind over 15 years ago. I looked at the structure of starch. It's all glucose, all sugar. But bread, rice and pasta does not taste sweet. That's the deception. What's happening is the glucose peak. This was the myth. We don't get an energy lift after sugar intake. We actually get a low. I even fall asleep after coffee and toast. The toast is making me tired. Then hours later comes the energy and the massive hunger cravings. This is the cycle and the 'addiction' people claim they have. Along with the mood swings. I test this out occasionally. I may eat a bowl of pasta once every five years and sure enough, I'm half alive and then moody, stodgy bowel, followed by cravings. Nothing in this report mentioned the glucose peak. This is the crux of everybody's suffering.

Introduced gluten back and 3 days after a couple of innocent cookies and garlic bread he was wheezing. Tried that out a couple of times and every time he was wheezing after a couple of days. He is not celiac, but I am convinced the gluten causes his asthma symptoms to flare. I haven’t taken my son to any “specialists” in 3 years.

Try to be open minded and listen to any evidence put forth. Draw your own conclusions, but base them on the evidence and not on perceived conspiracies or simply because you do not like what you hear.

[@denniskean183]

This is the first time I came across this Doc and I am not sure that I can confirm everything he says. But I will say this. Until 30 years ago I ate wheat most of my life. In the 1980s I stopped making my own bread and began to eat bread which I bought in stores. Suddenly weight gain began to pile on and my belly grew until it became embarrassing. But the worse part is that my vision began to fail. I can give a long list of side effects. Today if I eat bread from a bakery I get a severe reaction in my stomach as if I am getting a heart attack. However, if we make bread at home using organic wheat, I do not get the heart attack effect. However weight gain still comes on, although at a slower rate and there is nothing you can do to make it go away. When I cut out wheat, I lose weight at a rapid rate. I lost 35 lbs recently and I feel so much better. My independent test from my own life experience's conclusion, independent of anybody's books, tells me "Eat today's wheat at your own risk".

The protein and gluten level had increased in wheat from what it was long ago. What changed is how bread is prepared. Europe still uses the the slow sour bread method that gives natural yeasts a day or so break down the gluten into proteins before they bake the bread. These glutens are easier to digest then gluten. Western bread uses a fast yeast, and only an hour or so to rise, which doesn't fully break down the gluten into proteins we can digest. Sourdough is more nutritious, easier to digest, and has a lower glycemic index. Sourdough also contains less gluten than other bread. So much so, that folks who typically suffer from gluten sensitivities can often eat artisan or homemade sourdough bread with little-to-no ill effects.

The only problem with cutting wheat from the diet in the USA is, too many other things can take its place, like rice, corn and all the grains that are grown. They're all as bad, if you're going to eat with sugar. Sugar is in everything, including bread. You can't get away from it.

As soon as celebrities get involved in informing people , I say ha,ha, ha.. I get sceptical , cos celebs are part of dumbing down people ..

It's cool to feel that way when celebs get involved but this doesn't change the fact that wheat is making ppl sick. If skeptical try for yourself

Dr Davis is a MD and cardiologist. He may be a celebrity, but that's because of his medical work.

[@anuragmandal4442]

It's not about celebrities.. Understand that no medical professional has proper nutrition as a subject in their syllabus.. That's is why difficult to trust MOST of them.. Most of the health issue.. Dangerous health issue originates from metabolic syndrome.. And metabolic syndrome has everything to do with what we eat and the way body respond to it..

I have never heard of this book or this doctor. This is my experience: I suferred from arthritis for 9 years (could not stand fo more than 15mins) and 2 years back the 2nd DMARDs drugs did not work... I was desperate and decided to omit certain foods... I first started with milk, sugar...lastly wheat. For the last 2 years I have been arthritis free(I go for full day hikes!) because I went completely gluten free. Then I tested each food item and whenever I ate wheat, within 1 hr my joint starts to hurt, nose starts getting runny and my voice gets horse ( acid reflux). Who is better to knw my own body but myself? It worked for me and I feel great!

[@Inkdraft]

I experienced those exact same symptoms when ever I eat anything with a grain in it. I gave up all of them and now I take fire cider everyday and I have no aches or allergic reactions. I went totally Ketogenic Diet and I've never felt better in my life. So I agree, who knows your body better than you? No one.

[@StinkyFlyfart]

I am happy for you. Happy that you discovered on your own what healed your awful arthritis. It could have been anything and you hit the jackpot I guess relatively fast? You are so lucky. Wheat or no wheat, we are all different in the inside, for one going gluten free is the answer, for another something else for the same problem. Maybe. We all have to take things into our own hands and not listen to these gurus and experiment on ourselves to see what works and what not. Bottom line.

[@marypaino1327]

I also never heard of either book or Dr, I stopped eating grains all grains as daily staple. Sinuses are clear now. Belly is almost gone. Had not been arthritic but joints do have pain after eating

I've suffered chronic IBS for over 20 years. It was debilitating. I was having to "go" up to 16 times in a single day and had severe bloating and stomach cramps along with the constant diarrhoea. I gave up gluten to see if it would help my autoimmune disorder (Sarcoidosis) and lo and behold! My IBS just disappeared! Twenty years of hell cured overnight by cutting out gluten. I've also lost 7 lbs in a couple of weeks without dieting. They can say there's no science, but it worked for me - and I was the biggest sceptic before I tried it. I just thought it was a faddy diet. Never been so happy to be proven wrong!

[@johnym1]

This show was all about bashing this doctor. I personally reduced carbs out of my diet and lost weight and all my stomach issues went away. So, I do believe that the doctor is telling to truth.

[@samuelbrainsample]

So was it the carbs in general or were all of your carbs wheat? Your story is anecdotal, not proof. The show is not about bashing this doctor, its about people like you who never question anything. For all you know just the simple reduction in calories is what caused your weight loss. I myself am neither anti or pro wheat. I eat bread and pasta on occasion, but not as a daily thing to consume because I consider wheat to be what it is - a mostly inferior food product that has a very low nutrient/calorie ratio. It's basically one notch above pure table sugar in terms of nutrition, especially when you consider the amount of processing wheat goes through before it ends up on your plate. There's better and more nutritious stuff to eat than bread and pasta.

[@Rinanathar]

But if it is one notch above table sugar. Then by your own assessment it’s terrible.

[@FireProMMA]

If you don't have celiac disease or any sort of gluten intolerance then it won't make a difference. As someone who studies dietetics you people need to realise that people with real gluten intolerance have their small intestine destroyed by an auto-immune response to gliadin (a part of the gluten protein). It's genetic and a doctor can test you to see if your body is producing these immune bodies in high numbers. People without the genetic mutation have absolutely no problem digesting gluten. Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain.

[@astrinymris9953]

FireProMMA-- Re: "...Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain..." Not in and of itself, but if she reduced her total carb intake as part of going "wheat free", that could help weight and cholesterol. Google "insulin resistance".
