Default On the evils of wheat


He mentions other issues like high fructose sweeteners as I recall.

There are other issues such as pesticide and other persistent organic
pollutants that are contributing, IMO.

He does mention vitamin D a fair bit which has been a hobby horse
of my own in the past.

You can read Davis's blog for free. The book is for the folks
that still go to the book store.

Don't forget about John Yudkin as he was on the
path........................Trig

Interesting that he mentions einkorn. *I only know about that species of
grain because it was found in the stomach contents of "Otsi the Iceman"
the ancient frozen mummy that was discovered in the Apls in the 1990s.

Einkorn is now obscure but was actively cultivated millennia ago. *It's
a gluten bearing grain but the gluten is different enough that it might
not be harmful to wheat intolerant folks. *I've tried spelt and kamut
and those trigger symptoms in me. *I've tried rye, barley and oats and
those do not trigger symptoms in me. *Everyone who has intolerance
reactions can expect to get different results when doing personal
experimentation.


Personally I can eat them all without intolerance. But I get fat
and they spike the blood glucose and that includes all rices
white and whole grain, millet, etc.

Grains are animal food around my house. And even for
the animals, I've been using more legumes. Which is
something I need to do more research to get a handle
as to whether this is a move towards a better diet.
Understand my intake is rather limited.

For the celiac folk, gluten often has ruined their health by
the time the Docs get a bead on their patients problem.
Better to know when one is a little kid than when one
is 20 or 25 or 40 years of age. It does make wonder how
early it can be found?

This can run in families so if you have a cousin or sib with
ailment watch out.
