If wheat is so bad, what about all the other grains?
First of all, I demonize wheat because of its top-of-the-list role in triggering:
--Appetite--Wheat increases hunger dramatically
--Insulin
--Blood sugar--Wheat is worse than table sugar in triggering a rapid, large rise in blood sugar
--Triglycerides
--Small LDL particles--the number one cause for heart disease in the U.S.
--Reduced HDL
--Diabetes
--Autoimmune diseases--Most notably celiac disease and thyroiditis.
Most other "healthy, whole grains" aren't quite as bad. It's a matter of degree.
