The hypoglycemic effect of fat and protein is not attenuated by insulin resistance. Lan-Pidhainy X, Wolever TM. Am J Clin Nutr. 2009 Nov 18. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 19923374 doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.28125 Conclusions: The hypoglycemic effect of fat and protein was not blunted by insulin resistance. Protein increased insulin but had no effect on C-peptide or the insulin secretion rate, which suggests decreased hepatic insulin extraction or increased C-peptide clearance.

"Here's just a smattering of the studies performed over the past 30 years on the psychological effects of wheat consumption. Oddly, this never makes the popular press. But wheat underlies schizophrenia, bipolar illness, behavioral outbursts in autism, Huntington's disease, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The relationship is especially compelling with schizophrenia: Opioid peptides derived from food proteins: The exorphins. Zioudrou C et al 1979 "Wheat gluten has been implicated by Dohan and his colleagues in the etiology of schizophrenia and supporting evidence has been provided by others. Our experiments provide a plausible biochemical mechanism for such a role, in the demonstration of the conversion of gluten into peptides with potential central nerovus system actions." "
