Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison...created by genetic research" contains NEW protein which works as an opiate!

i do not see anywhere where they sell seeds. they have flour and such.

Wheat "berries" are seeds. I use Hard Red, Bronze Chief, soft white, and Prairie Gold. The color, flavor, and texture of bread you bake with it will vary depending on the variety of wheat used.

No shit? What's the best one in your opinion?

Had to log in so my mistakes can be corrected. 8)

They're all good. They just have different purposes. For light bread, soft white or Prairie Gold are good. A combination of the two is also good.

For heavier breads, like a loaf of hearty wheat, with a thicker, heavier texture, Hard Red is good.

It's good to add some softer wheat to the hard. It rises and browns better.

For people not accustomed to wheat, it takes some getting used to. It can be hard on a body to just dive into wheat when you're using "real" wheat instead of processed wheat flour.

Just so you know, what you'd be getting from the link I posted, is wheat berries. Flour is in a different section. Wheat berries have to be ground into flour.

Thanks, interesting article and interview. I'm a gardener, and heirloom vegetables are my biggest love...now to research heirloom wheat :)

Nice! Thanks. =)

Thank you for this article.

I have a wheat grinder, and in an effort to be healthy, have made my own bread in the past. I've not ever sprouted my wheat, but have experimented with soaking the grains, per Weston Price.

I have had health issues for a while now. In the past few years, I had developed belly fat. We recently cut out all grains and switched to Paleo and have lost the belly fat...both of us...without trying. My husband's sleep apnea and snoring is gone.

Whenever we cheat, and I make bread, my face puffs up and I start feeling bad.

I've found it hard to reconcile how it could be 'bad' to eat the 'staff of life'. This article explains it perfectly.

if anyone knows of a supply to gets seeds let me know.

(CBS News) Modern wheat is a "perfect, chronic poison," according to Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who has published a book all about the world's most popular grain.

Davis said that the wheat we eat these days isn't the wheat your grandma had: "It's an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the '60s and '70s," he said on "CBS This Morning." "This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there's a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It's not gluten. I'm not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I'm talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year."

Yes, basically he was talking about a low carb diet, and the options he highlighted were similar to what people eat on the Atkins diet.

I think this is all a bunch of BS. First of all, Davis is employing anecdotal evidence. That's why he wrote a book instead of a scientific paper (since you need actual empirical evidence in science). Well, that and the fact that books make money, while papers just advance science.

Gliadin has always been in wheat. It is a type of gluten.

You want to know why people lose weight when they dump wheat? Wheat is a concentrated source of calories, mostly carbs. That is a very good thing when people are forced to live on a healthy number of calories each day. You know, the balanced meals, with no pizza, capachinos, donuts, candy bars and cokes in between.

When you remove the concentrated source of calories (and nutrition) you end up consuming less calories and thus lose weight.

I'll bet a shiny silver dollar that people who eat a lot of wheat, but only consume 2,000 calories a day, and who don't lay on their asses all day don't get wheat belly.

It isn't wheat belly. It's fat ass belly from eating 3,000 calories a day and thinking that because you walked up the stairs to get from one padded seat to the next that you exercized today.

Or maybe the wheat crust is really the reason that pizza is so unhealthy. Yep, must be. It isn't the grease, the pepperoni, the cheese......it's the wheat!

also, i am pinning this because it would be great to see a discussion about how the media works with the food manufactures (cargill) and how they get you to stop buying one thing to buy another.

they always have a new "superfood"
and they always have a new "this is terrible for you" and "this is better" thing.

i say follow your instinct. your body will tell you what it wants.
for instance, i always instinctually knew that margarine was worse than butter.

and then there is the eggs are bad , eggs are good, no they are worse than cigarettes, no they are great thing.

personally, i think eggs are a "super food"

also RAW MILK is a "superfood" and that is the one they want you to know about the VERY least. which is why it is illegal to even sell any in most places. they do raids on the amish for selling pure whole fresh milk.

i think we should be able to decide what goes in our bodies.
and make choices about what to eat.

so the milk thing really gets me pissed.
i've never had the opportunity to buy fresh whole milk that has not been treated and i feel angry that i cannot get it if i want to.

people get really riled when you start talking about food. it's amazingly personal and political. a lot like talking about hair. hair is another weird thing that people are adamant about "how it should be"

and nothing will start an argument faster than talking about food. i've learned that since being on the internet since 1995. it's pretty crazy topic.

i am fascinated by the personal and political way we treat food.

but we should, because "you are what you eat" this is absolutely true.

the way they are controlling the food supply right now makes me so angry i cannot even express it.

i'm not completely sold on the idea that ALL genetically modified anything is bad for you, however.

crossbreeding things...fine....but going right in and changing the dna structure of things seems to be playing a blind god.

what we need to do is start LISTENING to our bodies.
our bodies will tell us what is good or bad for us.

and there is no "one size fits all" diet for everyone.

i wish people would get that.

everyone of us has different needs. so while a raw vegan diet might be awesome for someone, a paleo diet is equally awesome for a different body type.

look into aryvedic medicine.
it's the most sensible one i have come across.

in it we all have 3 "doshas" vata, pitta, kapha. and balancing these 3 things is absolute key.

i know there is an eat for your blood type diet. i looked at that and it did not ring true for me.

but the aryvedic one did make complete and total sense.

some foods that are bad for some people are really good for others and vice versa.

there is really no "bad food", there really, in the end, is not eating in a balanced or sensible way.

the most IMPORTANT lesson tho on eating, imo, is to give thanks for what you have.
the mindset you have AS you are eating is complete and utter key to how your body processes food.

for instance, do not eat when you are angry.

and give thanks for whatever it is you have.

because everything is ENERGY , in the end. all is one, and a person who eats a twinkie with gratefulness and mindfullness will live a longer happier healthier life than a person who is constantly worried about poison and becoming obsessed with juicing and fasting and purging.

in the end, "there is no spoon" is what i am saying.

so, eat with gratefulness and without anger and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. it knows exactly what it needs.

ok, that's my "rant" :)

Yeah wheat sucks i knew it for a long time.

But how about other grains such as rye ?? Especially if they are not industrially refined.

eikorn

if anyone knows of a supply to gets seeds let me know.

My wife says that I have "wheat belly",
since she can't blame it on beer.

Ever see pictures of ergot poisoning?

Rye shares the same proteins as wheat. Wouldn't be anything wrong with wheat at all IMO, if they'd left it alone. Seems like everything has been tampered with.

So no bread at all the best option ?

How about spelt.

Per article, people who stop eating wheat are losing lots of weight and are shedding major health problems.
