Wheat is a cash crop, it's worth $5.5 billion to the USA alone, pay a scientist enough money and he'll tell you anything you want to know.

It's not even controversial. There are virtually no dissenting voices. On either side of the Atlantic. Are you seriously suggesting that there's a worldwide conspiracy to promote the benefits of wholegrain wheat when really it's detrimental to your health? Really?

The same studies even point out that refined wheat is not good for you and that only the whole grain confers the health benefits outlined. Why would they do that if they were just doing it for the cash?

You read the link I just put up. It mentions numerous different studies and several proven health benefits.

From a mental health perspective, wheat and gluten have been suggested as possible depressants. If you feel glum, moody, melancholy or are bloated after eating brekky, bread, biscuits etc. See if you can cut it out and let us know if there's a change.

A simple blood test shows intolerances to wheat or gluten and there are other further tests.




Warning though. Gluten free and/or wheat free products are often more expensive.

I've done plenty myself, i've given it up, i speak of personal experience and my health has vastly improved, i've even had an oncologist friend of a friend who advised never to eat wheat due to problems it causes the body.

I'm not saying that there aren't individuals who don't tolerate wheat very well. I'm not even saying such an intolerance isn't relatively common. But the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence proving its health benefits for most people does not lie.
