Top 10 Reasons to Eliminate Wheat
Top 10 Reasons to Eliminate Wheat - Dr. Wm. Davis, M.D.
1. Gliadin derived opiates
increase appetite
, same with related proteins from rye, barley and corn. This is a big part of the
reason grains make you gain weight.
2. Gliadin derived opiates are
mind active drugs
that trigger behavioral outbursts in kids with ADHD and autism, mania in
bipolar illness, paranoia in schizophrenics and 24 hour/day food obsessions in people prone to bulimia and binge eating
disorder.
3. Gliadin, when intact, initiates the process of
autoimmunity
leading to rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
psoriasis and 200 other conditions.
4. Amylopectin A
raises blood sugar
to high levels, higher, ounce for ounce, than table sugar.
5. Wheat germ agglutinin is a potent
bowel toxin.
6. Wheat germ agglutinin blocks
gallbladder and pancreatic function
(by blocking the receptor for cholecystokinin).
7. Phytates block absorption of all
positively charged minerals
- such as iron, zinc and magnesium.
8. Multiple
allergens
are present - such as trypsin inhibitors, thioreductase, alpha amylase inhibitors and gamma gliadins,
responsible for asthma, skin rashes and g.i. distress.
9. Grains are potent
endocrine disrupters
explaining why women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS, are much worse
with grain consumption, why men grow breasts, why male levels of testosterone drop and estrogen increases, why pituitary
prolactin levels are higher, why cortisol action is blocked and why thyroid health is disrupted by autoimmune inflammation.
10. Big Food and Agribusiness use wheat and grains to
control human buying behavior
. putting the addictive appetite-
stimulating effects to use to increase food consumption and keep you coming back for more.
