Why it is not in your digestive/health-realted best interest to eat wheat: 1. Wheat contains a "mega-gluten" that is larger and more folded than the gluten molecules our grandparents ate. This makes it harder to break down, digest, more inflammatory and allergenic. 2. During the digestive process, this gluten forms an intermediate compound called "gluteomorphin" which is able to bind to opiod receptors (think heroin). This makes it highly addictive. 3. Wheat contains amylopectin A, which is a starch molecule that is highly fattening and causes high spikes of insulin. It has been linked to fatty liver disease, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Wheat contains these things whether it is raw, sprouted, organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, etc. Signs of wheat sensitivity include gas/bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heart palpitations after eating, headaches, fatigue, anemia, low vitamin D, acne, eczema, rash, nerve pain and the list goes on and on.
