I need evidence for myself, not the evidence of other people's results or what others (doctors, science, etc.), who exist outside my body, are saying.<br /><br />That's my personal opinion on this issue. Ultimately, everyone is going to do exactly what they want to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-83617451563133666372012-08-03T08:48:08.690-07:002012-08-03T08:48:08.690-07:00Just following up to post Dr. Davis' reply (yo...Just following up to post Dr. Davis' reply (you can follow the link if you want to read the whole post over there).<br /><br />"Dr. Davis says: August 3, 2012 at 8:57 am<br /><br />But remember, Trina: Not all adverse health effects of wheat consumption are perceived. <br /><br />For instance, you can still have intestinal “leakiness” to foreign substances develop, leading to long-term risk for triggering autoimmune conditions, without perceiving it. <br /><br />Wheat is bad no matter how you cut it. I don’t believe you or I have to convince everybody. Don’t waste your breath. Influence those who have open minds and are willing to consider that this thing that is so ubiquitous, so widely embraced, ruins health."<br /><br />http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2012/08/slave-to-wheat/comment-page-1/#comments<br /><br />None of us running our blogs are experts by any stretch. I think each individual reading the blogs needs to do their homework and make informed decisions about what they are eating.<br /><br />I think a lot of people will have issues with wheat (even if they don't want to acknowledge it). I think it is addictive for many and can probably derail honest hard work (losing weight). If you have uncontrollable cravings for starters … I would look hard at your wheat consumption :) There is absolutely nothing in wheat you need on a nutritional level.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-78333117726952997082012-08-02T19:29:47.469-07:002012-08-02T19:29:47.469-07:00I would think after a decade of looking at this Dr...I would think after a decade of looking at this Dr. Davis would know that answer. I'll post that question on his blog and we'll see if he has an answer (he's very responsive over there). He relates that the arthritis effect is usually the gliaden protein (I believe) and I'm pretty sure that is part of the whole grain not just the bran but hopefully he'll shed more light :)Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-89390752041985258422012-08-02T19:03:55.076-07:002012-08-02T19:03:55.076-07:00There is so much "evidence" on both side...There is so much "evidence" on both sides of the wheat issue. Each person needs to figure out what is true for them. I discovered that the bran of wheat bothers me, but not refined wheat. The negative symptoms I have when I eat whole wheat have disappeared with the removal of the bran portion of the wheat(whole grain wheat). I wonder how many people who have a problem with wheat, like the examples you've given, Trina, are reacting to the bran, but are assuming it's wheat in general that is bothering them, yet would continue to maintain their improvements if eating refined wheat. I'm not saying that anyone "should" eat refined wheat, I'm just saying maybe some people's symptoms are not from wheat itself but wheat in it's whole grain form.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050428273619531323.post-6532387222547359972012-08-02T16:52:23.998-07:002012-08-02T16:52:23.998-07:00OMG Rosalie!

Rosalie, I hope you know I'm not being argumentative with you - if I didn't care about people I wouldn't take the time to draft such a long response.

I commented on his blog that journalism today is so poor (no real investigation going on in that article). To which Dr. Davis replied, "Dr. Davis says: August 2, 2012 at 7:07 am So many of these pieces are really written and/or paid for by the wheat lobby. There was no unique insight in the article, nor new information. It just rehashed conventional thinking. That is the stamp of the wheat lobby." I think people would do well to start and understand where this information originates. Just because it's in the news doesn't make it true :)<br /><br />I listened to a podcast with Dr. Davis and he talks about people who don't feel any negative affects from eating wheat. He describes what it is doing to your insides even if you don't feel it.<br /><br />http://www.askthelowcarbexperts.com/2012/01/3-healthy-whole-grains-dr-william-davis/<br /><br />It's ok to continue to consume it as long as you are making an informed decision to do so. I know eliminating it from my life has made enormous changes that I would never have attributed to eating it so that’s all the proof I need.<br /><br />While I was away last weekend my friend’s step mother (unprompted by me) told me of her friend who had to give up gluten (she gets violently ill if she has any now). Her husband gave it up too since she couldn’t have any and the rheumatoid arthritis in his knees completely disappeared. I told my friend’s step mother that they should read Wheat Belly and they would understand what just happened.<br /><br />I feel your frustration over this house ... I HATE being in limbo. I wish you a speedy process from here on out :)Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.com
