Ok, I knew that all of the soy and corn that is hidden in processed foods was causing health problems but whole wheat? Dr. William Davis says that the protein in our genetically-modified wheat called Gliadin that stimulates our opiate-receptors in our gut, causing cravings and fat promotion. This concept is not only promoted by Dr. Davis. I watched a PBS show on eliminating 7 foods that also mentioned this problem.
Interesting and maybe worth trying an elimination diet of wheat products and see if you lose weight and feel better. Careful though since wheat is included in products that may not be obvious such as chewing gum.
Dr. Davis's website is http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/. You can also see him on Dr. Oz or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWtsHTNhPa4.
