**Did you know……………..modern wheat is not what our grand-parents and great grandparents were eating. Today’s wheat is scientifically engineered…”frankenwheat”. It has three times more gluten, causing inflammation, digestive problems, low energy and brain fog. It contains a starch called amylopectin which the body stores as fat because it doesn’t know how to convert it. A major player in the increase in diabetes and obesity epidemic. Dr. Mehmet Oz did a study where he measured the blood glucose levels of 10 women. Five women ate a traditional candy bar and the other five women ate two slices of wheat bread. Three out of the five women who ate the wheat bread had blood glucose levels higher than the women who ate the candy bars.
The problem is the body does not recognize wheat as food. The protein, gliadin, that modern wheat contains is addictive. Gliadin binds to receptors in the brain causing us to crave more junk carbs making us nutrient deficient and overweight. According to Christa Orecchio a Certified Nutritionist, a person who eats modern wheat a few times a day consumes an average of 440 extra empty calories per day.
A Gluten Sensitivity and/or intolerance might cause any of the following symptoms:
-
Skin rasher/itchiness
-
Dark circles under the eyes
-
Chronic exhaustion
-
Bloating and intestinal pain
-
Gas, constipation, diarrhea
-
Persistent mental fog
-
Hormonal Imbalances
-
Chronic high blood sugar
-
Joint aches and pains/arthritis
It is important to know that wheat, oats, rye and barley contain gluten. Oats are inherently gluten free, but are often cross- contaminated. Ancient forms of wheat, spelt and kamut do not affect the body the way modern wheat does.
