One deadly influence has been dominating the American food supply for decades, and has now been outed by an M.D., who calls it "a perfect chronic poison." It's also addictive, and laced with opiates that stimulate appetite.
Incredibly, it's wheat, or rather, what passes for "wheat" these days, which is a crudely genetically engineered "Frankenwheat" that produces wheat crop yields that are 10 fold more per acre than the wheat that was in your grandmother's home baked bread.
Dr. William Davis, author of the New York Times bestseller: "Wheatbelly: Lose The Wheat, Lose The Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health," has launched what may prove to be the most significant diet and health book of the last 50 years.
"We've seen hundreds of thousands of people losing 30, 80, 150 pounds," he says. People who ditch wheat are also finding relief from diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression, irritable bowel disease, and more.
Dr. Davis notes that wheat has been laced into areas of the food supply you'd never suspect, from salad dressing to tomato soup to licorice, and that it raises blood sugar higher than table sugar or a candy bar does. Modern wheat has a protein called gliadin--an opiate that stimulates appetite, causing us to consume about 440 calories more per day than we would if our appetites were not stimulated all the time.
