I was looking at some things on the internet today and
thought you might find these interesting. Some interesting trivia about
wheat:
- Wheat has been in the human diet less that 10,000 years. http://www.mercola.com/article/carbohydrates/paleolithic_diet.htm
- Wheat contains gluten, a protein that can cause or accelerate inflammation in the body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten
- Most wheat products are refined and stripped of their nutritional
value. Enriched grain products are still less nutritious than whole
grain products - even with the added vitamins and minerals! Many
products that say "whole wheat" have misleading labels - Look at the
ingredients to make sure you are not falling for a marketing tactic! http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=66
