William Davis - Wheat: The UNhealthy Whole Grain

The wheat of today is not the wheat of our mothers or grandmothers. Modern wheat is the product of genetic manipulations that have transformed its properties. Modern wheat is now a 2-foot tall, high-yield semi-dwarf strain, different in both appearance and multiple biochemical features from traditional wheat. Introduction of this new strain of wheat was associated with the appearance of a long list of health problems, along with weight gain and diabetes.
According to Dr. Davis, saying goodbye to all things wheat provides outsized and unexpected health benefits, from weight loss, to relief from acid reflux and bowel urgency, to reversal of diabetes, migraine headaches, and learning disabilities in children.
Dr. William Davis is author of the #1 New york Times bestselling book, Wheat Belly: Lose the wheat, lose the weight and find your path back to health (Rodale, 2011), now debuting internationally in over ten foreign languages. Wheat belly has helped spark a nationwide reconsideration of the conventional advice to "eat more healthy whole grains."
Formerly an interventional cardiologist, he now confines his practice to prevention and reversal of coronary disease in his practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Davis is a graduate of the St. Louis University School of Medicine, followed by training in internal medicine and cardiology at the Ohio State University Hospitals, and training in interventional cardiology at the Case--Western Reserve Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. He is also founder of the online heart disease prevention educational program, Track your Plaque.

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!

Thank you. I have not eaten wheat since 9/3/2012. I was living on homemade whole wheat bread, made with honey and lots of other healthful ingredients (never sugar). I thought I was doing the best for my health, but wheat kept me fat. Since I was over 50 (post menopausal) I had come to accept my new body image- but I hid under jackets and loose-fitting tops to cover up my ROLLS OF FAT. I have dropped three dress sizes and have a waist again. I will share my story soon on my youtube channel.

Back in the early 90s I had horrible IBS. Medications did little to help. I stumbled upon the idea that maybe I had celiac disease, so I gave up all grains because I was so sick I would try anything. There were no "gluten free" junk foods back then, so I was basically eating zero grains. I was cured. Then one day my doc--a gastroenterologist --decided to "test" me for celiac and I didn't have it. Great! Bring on the grains. I was okay with it for a few years until I developed another mystery ailment Interstitial Cystitis and horrible blood sugar issues. This time, I gave up not only grains but sugar. Again, cured. I'm not going back.

If you're not eating wheat for weeks before being tested, it will be a false negative.

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!

Went full keto after stumbling on this. Frucotse-free three years- that helped, then just quit the minefield modern carbs are altogether. I am never going back. You couldn't pay me to go back. The first week I had such powerful carb cravings. I was dreaming of carbs. I have zero doubt they are addictive, especially wheat.

[@VermilionCandles]

I took a food sensitivity test and came back mildly sensitive to wheat, barley, rye. Amongst other things like chicken/eggs/pineapple/bell pepper/milk/chicken. I cut all of these foods out. My asthma got better, back pain and toe pain went away. I had a slip up at a family party and ate desserts packed with grains, sugar and eggs. The next day I needed my inhaler. I started craving sugar so bad I bought another dessert a few days later…the next day I needed my inhaler again and my back pain and toe pain came back severely. It’s so crazy. I cut out all grains again, fasted and ate only meat/veggies, pain gone and asthma back under control within 3 days. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

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. ;-)

I lost weight, I was less moody, just everything was great - and then I had a slice of pizza. The way he teases about the "just one" is so true. I thought, I will have this slice of pizza and then go back to my wheat/ bread free way of living. WRONG! Even knowing and understanding what is happening, it has been so hard to get back off the bread. I tell people all the time that it is addictive. I never knew about the different proteins and such that make it so, I just knew that it was. I am working harder to get back off of it, but I really wish there was a rehab center for this particular addiction. Good luck to all of you on your wheat free journey.

Glyosphate used to dry wheat is the poison for us! Wheat is drenched with this round up for the drying process. Put pressure on the grain industry to not poision our food. People are not gluten intolerant just poison intolerant. It is the wheat with the added glyosphate that dries out the GMO wheat and non-organic wheat for processing. Glyosphate kills around 70% of the needed stomach flora and causes inflammation in the body especially the gut and brain.

@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 went keto and now I feel great and am the slenderest I have ever been since becoming a teenager !! No sugar, No starch, nothing low-fat, no polyunsaturated "vegetable" oils - really made from seeds - and the weight simply melts away. Yes, bacon and eggs !!

[@sonalpurohit5673]

Well, I can understand the damage done by wheat, but why ditch fruits? Keto diet is so restrictive that you can't eat most fruits and even some veggies like carrots or peas on it.

[@AdellAstare]

Bacon and Eggs every day no Veg oils low sugar and I lost weight 35 lb..not avoiding anything else.

[@i.m4531]

I was wheat free for a few years and was super slim. Now back on wheat and gained so much weight. Going to quit for good.

[@ruggedtoast]

My health improved massively when I cut out wheat. Its annoying all the misinformation we've had for years about healthy foods when in fact they are anything but.

[@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

[@rmcdaniel423]

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.

[@cherylannjohnson2895]

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 :)

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

My friend has stopped eating wheat. She was finding it hard to breathe. Her health has improved! Both my daughter and I have asthma, I am going to see if I can cure it but cutting out wheat. Will keep you posted. Thanks for this really important video, we both have a WHEAT BELLY, which needs to GO! Funny things is last week we did research on what cereals have the most FIBRE and less sugar. NO MORE CEREALS FOR US!

Over the course of five months early last year, my weight dropped on the Wheat Belly lifestyle diet to a healthy 175 lb. from 200 lb., and my total cholesterol dropped from 212 to 174. After the first two weeks or so I felt better, lost my craving for wheat products and yummy snack foods. Definitely a good choice for me as a lifestyle diet.

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.

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?

Then eat more wheat

[@gabrielsandoval4994]

As a Hispanic, it wasn't too difficult for me to drop the wheat being that our diet is mostly corn based. I did notice the instant effects it had on my body (not having to worry about what I ate and still being able to keep the weight off).But in case anybody knows, I was wondering if wheat in other countries, for example, European countries has been modified to the same extent that American wheat has been? I have no problem eating wheat overseas and actually lose weight when there.
