Why go wheat and gluten free? Plain and simply said:
- Today’s wheat is a genetically altered hybrid that yields bigger crops, which in turn actually raises blood sugar higher than candy. It is no longer the wheat of yesteryear.
- Today’s modern strains of wheat also triggers overeating and fat storage.
- Today’s wheat also contains compounds that stimulate the brain just like morphine does. This makes wheat clearly addictive, hence stimulating hunger.
