Did you know that of all foods on the planet, only WHEAT converts into a morphine-like substance that is able to pass the blood brain barrier?

The substance to which wheat converts gloms directly onto the area of the brain that is affected by morphine and oxycodone. AND...if you take the pill or tablet version of Narcan, it blocks the "wheat morphine".

Wheat and all things containing wheat are addictive. If you eat wheat products and then quit for two weeks you will actually experience withdrawal symptoms, like headache, runny nose, depression, fatigue, etc.

Eating wheat sets up a cycle of insulin resistance, in addition to the above, and causes you to want to eat more, all the time, and causes you to be more hungry more often.

All of the above can be confirmed in a scary book I've begun to read called "Wheat Belly", by Dr. William Davis, and this was recommended as reading by SW member cherokeepatti who is a naturalist and something of an expert on nutrition and food chemicals.

More tidbits to come.

It doesn’t take two weeks for symptoms to show up, it was the day after quitting wheat for me and it felt like I was coming down with the flu, just lasted one day but I was eating the equivalent of two slices of bread a day when I went cold turkey.

@cherokeepatti I just ordered a bunch of the different types of flours he recommends in his cookbook. Flax, almond, potato, etc. I also checked the ingredients on fritos BBQ twists, and corn tortillas, etc, and they are all okay...no wheat...and they sell flax seed crackers in different flavors...pricey, though.

@4meAndyou you could make your own flaxseed crackers using flax meal and gluten free wheat. I make some “dumplings” using gluten-free flour, golden flax meal and milk, they were really good, would make good noodles too

It is true Fritos, tortillas (I like white corn), etc have no gluten but they are almost assuredly GMO and in 80 percent of all food products. I’m not sure that is all that healthy either.😊@4meAndyou

@Oster1 Well...now I have to eat 8 bags of roundup...😭😭😭 I'll bet I could make my own corn tortillas. I gave away my tortilla press, but they can be patted out.
