William Davis - Wheat: The UNhealthy Whole Grain

[@karcyn74]

I've been wheat free for two months. I'm losing weight and feeling better. No more hypoglycemia.

[@judylloyd7901]

Funny, I would have thought that wheat would be more likely to give you hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia.

[@manuelaqramos6653]

@@judylloyd7901 I think @Rotrex L. means "the feeling of hypoglycemia".

[@SilkMeadow]

This is so true. I went gluten free and sugar free for weight loss, had protein like meat, eggs, chicken, etc./organic veggies and potato or rice for my carbs, lost a pound a week and my arthritis was practically gone after the first week! I also noticed I had a lot more energy and felt way better and healthier. Highly recommend EVERYONE go gluten free, just try for 1 week and see how you feel.

[@garyssimo]

Same for me!

[@mdkooter]

After seeing massive benefits from cutting out wheat from my food, I advised my now 64 year old mother to do the same. No more gluten. She had M.E. (muscle desease), went to the toilet 3-4x a day, was pretty much physically unable to do much at all. Depressed, especially in the morning, and was easy to upset. After being without gluten for 2 years now she's finished building her first house by herself. Yes, cement, stones, tiles, building a kitchen from scratch...everything. She has the physical energy of a 40-year old. No more stomach problems, no more depression, lots of life. She'll reach a 100 this way...so happy to see her healthy!

This wasn't the nice gastric reflux that can be cured with a little mylanta, this was extreme pain, ulcer forming stuff that was only cured with medication or surgery. So yeah, not drinking during meals doesn't cut it.

One of my colleagues at my office has done wonderfully eliminating wheat. Inspired me! I started today. Picked up the book and I'm in motion :)

[@marcporter77]

He points out, in the first pages of his book, that the glycemic index of wheat is 72, while the glycemic index of sugar is 59. While sugar is empty calories, wheat is worse. I wondered why so many people report celiac disease these days, when it was considered a rarity when I was young. I wondered why one vegetarian friend had a child with diabetes AND rheumatoid while another vegetarian friend, a runner, had a diastolic BP of 140. Dr. Atkins was reporting on the ballooning of diabetes , even in juveniles, since the FDA came out with their food pyramid, (the broadest part made up of carbs) in the 1970's. The food pyramid, by the way, was supposed to have been developed by two lawyers! Dr. Atkins, fat or not, reversed diabetes and metabolic syndrome in his patients. (Caregivers frequently do not get cared for themselves). Dr. Davis claims also, that hundreds of his patients have been freed from everything from rashes to diabetes. He is a cardiologist. He deals with real people. His ideas are not merely academic.

[@jeffstanch]

True. I had an aunt who had celiac disease. No one had ever heard of it back then. She was thin, more energy than a kid and lived well into her 80's.

[@marcporter77]

She was fortunate. The disease must have been confined to her bowel. The Gluten-free diet has been around many years - since the time when people ate more meat and fat and ate less wheat flour products. The explosion of fast food restaurants seems to have occurred concurrently with the popularity of the 1972 FDA Food Pyramid

The healthiest diet I have lived is Raw Vegan, but when I moved to live in a cold climate, it was difficult to maintain in winter. So I added some cooked food including wheat and rice. From my personal experience Dr Davis is right about wheat but rice is fine. I gain weight eating wheat but never with rice. So I eliminated all wheat and maintain a vegan lifestyle. In a cold climate, rice, potatoes, all veggies, coconut milk , all fruits, keep me feeling good and no weight gain.

While Davis is Right he is also very wrong. The Human body consists of a Matrix or combination of systems that are well able to handle moderation of low toxin consumables. The Two most critical issues which lead to illness from consuming are your general controllable physical condition and overall diet. The immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems function to handle foods like Whole Grains if you do not exceed recommended daily amounts, AND you are getting sufficient body movement. Exercise is not even needed, but if you are fairly active your systems will be at optimal functioning levels to keep you healthy. Davis brings up the chemistry of the body acting out its chemical characteristics yes, but in a single plain or dimension. The human body has an intertwined or matrix of properties that circumvent toxin levels. If the levels get very high then yes he is only right then, but a normal diet of breads or any slightly toxic foods is easily handled by a healthy system. A healthy body is built to handle many variances in non favorable consumables and has been subjected to this need for eons. The Key is moderation and body condition, exercise is good if you are an office worker but for most people simple activity such as walking, cleaning house, labor and other cardio movement to rev up the heart daily is all it takes. The problems in health seem to par with timing of illness like diabetes and higher wheat consumption. But the truth is we entered the electronic age in the 1940's and by the 1980's people were in front of a TV, Gaming program, or Computer which has led to a much poorer overall health condition worldwide. The other factor combined with that is today people simply consume to much. I am a 61 year old, Graduate, Human biology, Molecular biology, farmer, and healthy moderate. The understanding of how our bodies work is not cut and dry on a simple plain program as Davis outlines. We are tougher than most know especially when we do continue to develop our bodies and minds with wise non excessive diets.

Years ago I used to feed my cattle with wheat grass. A variety I liked was Arthur. I expected an average yield of 25 tons of grass per acre. My best yield was 40 tons per acre. (Grain was a salvage crop yield between 50-130 bu per acre means about 60 bu per acre). This was fine; until I suffered a year of blight. So new wheat … or so I thought. The plant breeders deduced people cannot eat grass … let us develop only short high yield varieties that could now be found. Mean yield 0.5 tons of grass per acre. Thus no more wheat grown … at what cost?

Ridiculous statement. You can be overweight and metabolically healthy. Conversely you can be skinny and metabolically deranged. Dr. William Davis is one of today's most prominent and important dietary heroes and needs to be listened to. We simply were not designed to eat the Standard American Diet (SAD) that has made us obese and sick. We're also genetically predisposed to eat animals as well as plants.

"it is believed to increase IGf-1 levels, which is associated with higher risk of cancer." You seem to be confusing serum IGF-1 levels with levels in milk. When humans ingest IGF-1, it is denatured in the stomach. From Google: "studies have shown that while IGF-1 is not destroyed by the pasteurization process, any "extra" IGF-1 that may occur in a given batch of milk from treated or untreated cows has no effect on the organism which ingested it, because IGF-1 is denatured in the stomach.[27]"

Beer is, for the most part, made with malted Barley, this is the sugar source for the yeast to flourish and produce alcohol. Unless it is specifically a wheat beer, hefeweizen. Budweiser uses some rice in their mix but that is not typical. 2 row barely is the variety best suited to the desired sugar source for brewing beer. It has lower protein that the 6 row barely used in cereals. SO! maybe beer is not so bad, maybe!

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

***** Wheat and all of it's negative effects on human health are not a GMO issue. Beer is made from grains and is a problem due to those same issues, which once again is not a GMO related problem. Non GMO and heritage varieties of grains may or may not be less harmful than our current mass farmed grains. Easy answer is to avoid grains.

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

***** Yeah I don't obsess over it either. Paleo has been my general guideline for the past 30 months with some marginal food choices along the way. The grains are my stronger adherence with sugars after that. I agree that GMO's should be a clear choice for all to make. I do not believe they are without consequence. All too often things are learned years later as is with hydrogenated oils and statins. I'll have to try the Wood Chuck brand of ciders. There is also hard liquor which has virtually no residual attributes of the grains.

@H D I developed chronic candida, leaky gut, Reverse T3 (Hypothyroidism Type 2), Low vitamin levels in iron, zinc, Vit D, and probably selenium, iodine and magnesium as we are low in these anyway! I thought how the hell did i get so sick at a young age of 14 and for many years until i was diagnosed. I do think gluten was the starting point for all these issues as i never took antibiotics that are supposed to cause candida and i think because i also had a leaky gut that gluten may have led to this and for the candida to get around the body. Low Zinc and selenium are vital for hormone conversion from T4 into T3 and i got low in these as Dr William Davis states that gluten adds to low vitamin absorption. Low zinc and selenium led to my Reverse T3 and hypo symptoms with negative Underactive Thyroid results.

I am 65 years old and have recently start having intense should pain. All doctors..ALL doctors have addressed my "getting older", impingement, possible rotator cuff surgery, and lack of exercise. Who feels like exercising when you have sharp pains shooting through your shoulders. NOT ONE doctor ever asked me what I eat! Then I noticed a side bar on You Tube when I was seeing if anyone else was having pain and was directed to a gluten site. Gluten? That was something that affected "other" people and was probably one of those "weirdo" diet things. Reluctantly I "clicked" on your You Tube lecture and thankfully changed my heath! I had all the symptoms, so I decided to give it a try. No tests! No X-Rays! I just cut out wheat, sugars, and processed food. Two weeks later I have absolutely no shoulder pain, have lost over 10 pounds (two belt notches), and have started exercising again. I wish I could package this up and sell it but I can't. I added rice and quinoa into my diet, have limited protein to the generally accepted 10% of what I eat, and have even stopped the foot pain and gout attacks. I am a new man!

[@drla02]

Almost all doctors have been trained right out of the books that Big Pharma & Big Agriculture supplies. Its very obvious that every doctor get basically the same education in science/medicine but only a very few will wake up from the trance that they endure while in med school. I wonder if you ever sought alternative forms of medicine before you ran into this gluten site? Maybe you should also broaden your medicinal spectrum the next time you run into problems. As I always to people, the answer to all your questions/problems stares you right in the face ever time you look into a mirror. Sadly, only a rare few will get it. ;-)

[@dnjj1845]

You started exercising and cut out processed foods for 2 weeks. How do you know it's the wheat responsible? And why is wheat responsible for your total over average caloric consumption for the past millennia, keeping you overweight?? Don't underestimate the placebo effect too, it's more powerful than you think

Christopher Connolly One year ago my toes started going numb. Went to my doc and they ran every test in the book. The numbness was spreading toward the heel and at night my feet would cramp up and hurt really bad. Someone told me I might have developed a wheat allergy. Went 'Gluten Free' and it helped a lot. If I screw up and eat bad I cannot sleep that night due to pain. I still have minor numbness but feel better, BP down etc. Well that is my story, good luck.

[@christopherconnolly5340]

Good to hear your story glenlackey. An update on my situation is that my foot pain has been better for some time, since I quit wheat. I even lost some weight and took up running. Feel great.

I'm at a bit of a loss here to understand your comment. How is Big Pharma to blame for the development of new strains of wheat? Pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs, not foods. It was the government of America that conducted agricultural research to develop new strains of wheat which had higher yields for the growing population.

It's often misleading regarding certain types of foods and their supposed benefits. Whole wheat was pushed SUPER hard as the "better" kind of bread, but it has nothing to do with the glycemic index, etc, as we've seen. It's about the slightly higher fiber content, which supposedly helps clean your colon. Things that are "fat free" (but full of carbs), "low carb" (but full of salt), "high fiber" (but a diabetic nightmare) and so on. In general, if it needs marketing, you should be suspicious.

Hello, I have a problem with these doctors who say it's good to eat like our ancestors because our ancestors lived a non-stop active life, ate different species of vegetables, the animals ate differently that 99% of the animals killed for meat nowadays, etc... Completely different lifestyles. Is my logic wrong?

[@stan6726]

Then eat more wheat

[@bernardmauge8613]

The doctor is leaving a lot behind. What has been done to wheat has been done to rice and corn, most vegetables and fruits. Either to increase yield or carbs or fructose. EVERYTHING out of your supermarket is toxic for human consumption and addictive. If you switch to veganism and stop eating meat all together you will chew on dead plants devoid of minerals enzymes and nutrients. This is why you see the long lines at in and out burgers. People gobble the shit down for a 20 minutes high before going back to their shit job, boss, husband, kids, teacher, etc... Food has become a drug, nutrition has been removed from food. But do not worry you will get sick and they have a drug for you. America is a horror show full of obese zombies who refuse to die.

I can testify that after not touching wheat for 2 weeks, i dropped 7 kilos. And when im hungry the feeling of famish is quite mild compared to those days when i was on wheat - the feeling of hunger is so unbearable that i could eat many plates of food or a horse. Im now easily feel satiated after eating just mouthfuls of food.

@@franciscogomes4416 The wheat we have today has a higher content of gluten than the wheat used in the past. Apparently about 5 percent of the proteins found in hybridized wheat are new proteins that were not found in the original plants, and these are what are causing the problems. Btw, "brain fog" may not be scientific, but it's a pretty apt description of what some people experience as a result of consuming certain foods. Why would it have to be scientific? Saying you have a bellyache, or a headache isn't scientific either. Neither is "heartburn" as a description of indigestion, but nobody argues with that.

In 1961 the Chorleywood bread process was developed, which used the intense mechanical working of dough to dramatically reduce the fermentation period WHICH MEANS MORE GLUTEN and the time taken to produce a loaf. The process, whose high-energy mixing allows for the use of lower protein grain, is now widely used around the world in large factories. As a result, bread can be produced very quickly and at low costs to the manufacturer and the consumer.

5-31-13 The European Union is urging its 27 member states to test wheat shipments from the United States after unauthorized genetically modified grains were found in Japan. Tokyo on Thursday halted imports of certain types of wheat from the U.S. following the discovery of an experimental strain that was tested by Monsanto but never approved. The EU’s consumer protection office said Friday that shipments which test positive should not be sold in line with the bloc’s “zero tolerance” for GM crops.
