A Doctor Reviews "Wheat Belly" ...The Dangers of Modern Hybridized Wheat - 0 views

  • It would be bad enough if we consumed all this wheat as emmer or einkhorn or other primitive varieties, but we don’t.  We get most from a hybrid of Triticum aestivum – our great grandmother’s wheat – called dwarf (or semi-dwarf) wheat, which now comprises more than 99 percent of all wheat grown worldwide.

      A Canadian invented modern, hybridized and dwarf wheat that is grown all over the world. He is lauded for solving the horror of world hunger. Regrettably, his invention has been proven to be killer in the long run!
  • “The adoption of agriculture, supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe from which we have never recovered.”

      Read here how modern hybridized wheat is killing wo(men) worldwide and giving both sexes deadly buldging stomachs plus men estrogen-induced "man boobs" as it, especially the much-touted "whole weat", takes us, inexorably, to an earlier grave than necessary.

  • Humanity doubtless gained more than it lost in this hunter to farmer changeover when viewed in a big-picture sort of way.
  • Covenant of the Wild, describes how domestic animals formed a pact with humans in which the animals traded a period of safety and survival for their lives.
  • Homo sapiens entered an almost mirror image of this same covenant when they domesticated cereal grasses.* 
  • Ancient forms of wheat didn’t do our forebears a lot of good, and, according to Dr. William Davis’s new book Wheat Belly, the modern forms of the grain do us even less good.

  • he ancient Egyptians consumed a diet that would be considered optimal by many people today. 
  • But, as their mummified remains and their contemporary artwork demonstrate, the ancient Egyptians were often fat and were riddled with heart disease, dental caries, bad periodontal disease and no doubt diabetes and hypertension. 
  • Sadly, these same findings are also common among modern man who consumes a more malign version of primitive wheat.
  • Until I read Dr. Davis’s book Wheat Belly, I didn’t really think much about wheat other than its being a major source of carbohydrate in the American diet. 
  • Since reading Michael Pollen’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma I had been conscious of the amount of corn in our modern diet, but I hadn’t thought much about wheat. 
  • In most grocery stores, an entire aisle is devoted to nothing but bread in all its forms.  Then there is typically another large aisle full of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, tarts, sweet rolls, bagels, croissants, brownies, and other sweet baked goods.  The vast majority of the cereal aisle displays products containing primarily wheat.  And if you look at processed foods of all kinds, you’ll find wheat in there. 
  • More food is made with wheat than any other cereal grain.
  • the hybridization of wheat came about in an effort to improve yield
  • In the photos below you can see the difference between wheat grown in the Middle Ages and the dwarf wheat grown today.
  • modern wheat is approximately 70 percent carbohydrate by weight.  The carbohydrate is in the form of a starch called amylopectin A.
  • Because it is the most digestible, it is the form that most enthusiastically increases blood sugar.  This explains why, gram for gram, wheat increases blood sugar to a greater degree than, say, kidney beans or potato chips. 
  • In healthy, slender volunteers, two medium-sized slices of whole wheat bread increase blood sugar by 30 mg/dl (from 93 to 123 mg/dl), no different from white bread.  In people with diabetes, both white and whole grain bread increase blood sugar 70 to 120 mg/dl over starting levels.
  • there are other problems

      Most startling and horrifying for me is Dr. Davis' documented comment that of the 35,000 variations of modern hybridized and amylopectin A-packed wheat, including so-called whole wheat, NOT ONE has been tested for it's effects on humans ...even in laboratory animals. The Government bureaucrats and their food-protection regulators of the world simply took the word of profit-motivated food industry leaders and modern weat's inventors. Those supposted to protect us from manufactures wanting to seel us harmful things simply trusted their testimonies that their hybridized and radiated inventions were safe for us to eat. Duh!
  • As with almost any food, the newer the food, the greater the likelihood that it will be problematic to some humans who consume it. 
  • Dr. Davis has finally shucked his bred-in-the-bone cardiologist’s antipathy toward fat in general and saturated fat specifically and has come over to what most of his peers must view as the dark (read: low-carb) side:
  • I can’t recommend this terrific book highly enough.
    • Gary Patton
       
      Neither can I nor a number of my Friends who have each experienced major quality of life improvements by following Dr. Davis' recommendations ...including significan weight loss. (And my "man boobs" have been painlessly removed and my "wheat belly" is rapidly disappearing in less than a month!)

Liposomal Glutathione - 1 views

  •  
    Glutathione is the master detoxifier and the body's main endogenous antioxidant. Toxins are linked to glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool, and out of the body. Glutathione protects our cells' delicate chemical machinery and helps energy metabolism run efficiently.
