The government pushes whole grain on us
touting the importance of whole grains for a healthy body, heart
health, controlling diabetes, and weight loss.
They now put it in EVERYTHING processed! From wheat products all the way
to ravioli and other food products our kids are eating they are dumping it into everything we eat. They say it is to make us healthier. They say it is for our heart health. They say it is to lose weight. They are LYING TO US. It is so WRONG! There is NOTHING healthy in the wheat today or the wheat products.
The genetically engineered wheat of
today is KILLING us. (Hyman,
2012)
We all know that Gluten-free is HOT these days; we can find
these products in grocery stores, on restaurant menus, and just about
everywhere now. (Hyman,
2012) Is this a real problem
or is it just another fad/gimmick to sell products?
Actually very few people are truly gluten allergic. A very simple blood test given by your doctor
at your request will show whether or not you have allergies to gluten. If you suspect you may be allergic, I
recommend you request your doctor to test you to be certain.
Health-wise gluten is a real problem, but the problem is not
just gluten. There are actually three
major hidden reason that wheat products, not just gluten (along with sugar in
all its forms) is a major contributor to OBESITY, DIABETES, HEART DISEASE,
CANCER, DEMENTIA, DEPRESSION, and so many other illnesses we see today. (Hyman,
2012) Yes, you read it correctly…WHEAT and wheat
products are KILLING us one bite at a time.
How can this be you might be asking?!!! Like myself, you follow your
doctor’s guidelines to increase whole grains, reduce fat, and exercise. Did you know that 2 slices of whole wheat
bread raise your blood sugar level more than sugar?!!!!! Wheat and wheat
products are hidden in everything from soups to vodka to lipstick to envelope
adhesive. Not only is the wheat bad for
us, they also add a chemical that makes us crave more and more of it much like
a cigarette for a smoker or alcohol for an alcoholic. The wheat of today is
known as Franken Wheat by doctors and people who have wised up to the disease pitfall
caused by it. (Hyman,
2012)
We are surrounded by walls of wheat and corn disguised in
hundreds of thousands of food-like products in today’s supermarkets. (Hyman,
2012) They constantly change the names of the
ingredients to try to keep us in the dark.
Some companies simply do not list the ingredients they think we will
disapprove of.
Remember, this is not the wheat your great-grandmother used to
bake her bread. Wheat was healthy 60+
years ago before the government changed it. It is Franken Wheat –
scientifically engineered in the last 50 years making us fatter and fatter each
year. (Hyman,
2012)
It is crucial that we get off the WHEAT now!
