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.

I believe this. I quit eating wheat for about a year to figure out my stomach issues. I could never smell the bread section in the grocery store. When I stopped eating it I could. It became a craving. I never had cravings for it before.
