Wheat

Inclusion of wheat products in the human diet in many (not all–I’d estimate 70% of people) yields devastating health effects. In a few, it shortens life. In the majority, it leads to a slow, miserable hell of inflammatory diseases like arthritis, coronary disease, and cancer.

and something I have been mentioning…

While some advocate the notion that only calories count and diet composition makes no difference, I offer this possibility: Whether or not weight is lost by diet, there can be enormous health effects independent of weight based on the composition of diet. Inclusion or exclusion of wheat is one such crucial factor.

This is from Wheat Hell by Dr. William Davis. Please read the entire post as it is thought provoking. Why not try eliminating wheat for a week or two and see if you have any health changes in the short term?

Dr. Davis is a cardiologist and is the author of the book, Track Your Plaque: The only heart disease prevention program that shows how the new CT heart scans can be used to detect, track, and control coronary plaque. His writings at http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com are worth taking time for.
