How Wheat -- and Gluten -- Trigger Weight Gain, Prediabetes, Diabetes and More – part I



Remember, although this new modern wheat may “look” like wheat, but it is different in 3 very important ways that increase obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia, and more. (Hyman, 2012)   

First, it contains a Super Starch (amylopectin A) that is SUPER FATTENING.  Secondly, it contains a form of Super Gluten that is SUPER INFLAMMATORY.  Thirdly, it contains forms of a SUPER DRUG that is SUPER-ADDICTIVE and makes you crave it and eat more and more! (Hyman, 2012)  You cannot help it.  You are DRUGGED!!!!!

Your doctors will not tell you this, nor will the government who is doing this to us.  Why you may be asking? Because the government makes money from the drug companies as do the doctors who put us on these statin drugs (blood pressure drugs and cholesterol reducing drugs).  It is this vicious money-making cycle that is KILLING us!
Thankfully, I have become much wiser and decided to get my family and myself off the drugged up wheat and wheat products. 
I highly recommend watching the food documentary Fat Head.  You can watch it on Netflix. It explains how we have been mislead and is definitely an eye opener. 
Back to the 3 ways wheat is killing us: the Super Starch, Super Gluten, and the Super Drug in it.

 
The Super Starch
“The Bible says, “Give us this day our daily bread.”  But, today’s wheat is not the Einkorn, heirloom, Biblical wheat of our ancestors.  Instead, we are eating dwarf wheat, the product of genetic manipulation and hybridization that created short, stuffy, hardy, high-yielding wheat plants with much higher amounts of starch and gluten and many more chromosomes coding for all sorts of new odd proteins. (Hyman, 2012)” Promising to feed millions of starving people around the world, the man who engineered this modern wheat won the Nobel Prize.  It certainly has feed millions around the world, but it has also made them fat and sick. (Hyman, 2012)

Dwarf wheat’s first major difference is that it contains very high levels of a super starch called amylopectin A.  This is where big fluffy Cinnabons and Wonderbread comes from.  But, here is the downside:  two slices of whole wheat bread now raise your blood sugar level more than two tablespoons of table sugar.  (Hyman, 2012)

No longer is there ANY difference between whole wheat and white flour hereOne of the biggest scams perpetrated on the unsuspecting public is the INCLUSION of “whole grains” in TONS of the processed foods full of sugar and wheat, giving the food a virtuous glow. (Hyman, 2012)  Ha! That is a laugh! Supposedly this is to make us healthier.  What a load!

Now the best way to avoid the foods that are bad for you is to stay away from foods with health claims on the labels! This usually means they are hiding something bad. (Hyman, 2012)

Studies have shown that in people with diabetes, both white and whole grain bread raises blood sugar levels 70 to 120mg/dl over starting levels.  We know that foods with a HIGH GLYCEMIC INDEX makes people STORE BELLY FAT, TRIGGER HIDDEN FIRES of INFLAMMATION in the body, and give you a FATTY LIVER, leading the whole cascade of obesity, pre-diabetes, and diabetes.  This problem now affects every other American and is the major driver of nearly ALL chronic disease and most of our health care costs.  Diabetes now sucks up one in three Medicare dollars. (Hyman, 2012)

For tomorrow, The Super Gluten NIGHTMARE!
