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.

the cultivation of wheat is also one of the key factors of the advancement of civilization. it can be one of the building blocks of a healthy body, or at least it used to be. not so much anymore sadly. i have read that book and it explains why. ancient wheat isnt bad for you like modern wheat. thats what the book explains.

@Penny Correct. Ancient wheat made flat bread...because it didn't have gluten in it like today's wheat. The wheat men used to eat has been tweaked and tweaked and tweaked...and now we have bread that rises beautifully...and it makes us fat and sick.

@Penny I am not going to make wheat bread of any kind...but I am thinking of making herbed focaccia with almond flour, and possibly the pretzels or bread sticks with chick pea flour.

@4meAndyou good luck. here's a great pizza bomb recipe (gluten free) its fattening though but if youre dying for pizza its a tasty substitute and easy to make

@Penny I am lactose intolerant, unfortunately, so pizza isn't big on my list of things I crave...but I do want some once in a blue moon. Dominoes pizza now makes a cheese free gluten free version of pizza, so I don't have to fuss.
