I had major stomach issues for 28 years, which inadvertently affected other parts of my health. I saw Specialist after Specialist to no avail. I went gluten free, dairy free and sugar free and within 1 week I was cured. I wish Doctors told me this 28 years ago! I’m not saying this will work for everyone, but it most definitely worked for me.
So which one was the culprit, gluten, dairy or sugar? You should have eliminated each one separately. The fast majority of people have no issues with gluten or dairy. Absolutely everyone has issues with sugar. I’m glad you’re doing better, but don’t be to quick to Blane it on gluten until you’ve been medically tested.
@@vry3555 yes pesticides are bad but the wheat causes cravings which make it almost impossible to not overeat. Wheat lobby of course would point to anything but the modified wheat. I have lost 50 lbs and got off meds within 3 months so wheat is one big issue
I am almost 72 - I stopped eating grains & sugar in Feb 2017, and what I thought was dementia disappeared, dizziness gone, years of insomnia gone, pains in my head gone, horrible depression gone and energy increased so that I go all day long. I feel 10 years younger. How can the naysayers explain what this did for me? I had no expectation of these benefits!
Gmo modified wheat so it can withstand glyphosate (roundup) and the leftover of at least 2 spraying of same is good for you. Believe Monsanto. Dedreased plowing to control weeds and more spraying
What this documentary doesn't reference is that glyphosate specifically binds to the gluten protein. This is described in plenty of scientific literature. A lot of the negative reactions to gluten are not caused by gluten per se, but by glyphosate.
Yes and apparently the symptoms of glyphosate poisoning are virtually identical to those of celiac. So it might not be the gluten it might be the glyphosate. And it's sprayed on wheat, corn, oats, soybeans and more which means that if it is the glyphosate, merely avoiding wheat is not the answer.
Great Info … Stephanie Seneff said two things : 2. Glyphosate (in everything we eat/drink) uncouples the tight junctions in the gut that protect us from food waste moving through the gut wall. The uncoupling allows toxins in and is the cause of many illnesses (not least leaky gut) 2. Glyphosate molecule is similar to that of GLYCINE which is very necessary for our health. This allows the totally toxic Glyphosate to bind to the receptor sites for Glycine - so our health deteriorates. Authorities claim Glyphosate is harmless ??? Apparently it is used world wide and is poisoning the planet. Research ZACH BUSH -his *Vermont* lecture is a good place to start.
This documentary is made to promote toxic GMO modern wheat by a state funded televition channel where 10% of world Wheat production is made. Stop eating toxic GMO Wheat, Dairy and Sugar for a month and see the difference. Then decide.
Since giving up all wheat and grain products (by going gluten free), I've been able to come off anti-depresssants after being locked in to them for 26 years, and my arthritic joint pain and inflammation has gone! Extraordinary. Wonderful.
Elimination of all grains for six months will amaze you! Anything that is grassy - oats, wheat, corn, barley and other grass seed. IT's great if you're a ruminant (even then in small quantities!) but not if you're a primate. ESPECIALLY in the ridiculously HUGE quantities we are eating in the west.
Eating anything comes down to having a healthy gut bacteria. If you want to eat grains, its best to sprout them like they did in the past. Watch the You tube video called Nourishing Traditions to find out how various food products were prepared before being consumed.
So how much did the wheat industry pay you to produce this? I had very painful tendonitis in both of my shoulders for over 2 years. Nothing helped it. My range of motion was severely reduced and I had difficulty sleeping. I was skeptical about going grain free, but decided to give it a shot. I KID YOU NOT - 4 days later my pain was GONE. I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and realized that I could move my arms around with no pain!! I actually woke my husband up just to tell him, I was so overjoyed. 6 weeks later, the pain has not returned. Make of that what you will.
I know this goes against the findings in the documentary but my mental and physical state improved drastically when I cut out wheat and refined sugars. I recommend trying it for a week at least once in your life time
Of course you feel better. You cut calories. And it's the refined sugars which are documented to be metabolically bad for you, not to mention addictive. Correlation does not equal causation
I did an experiment for 30 days cut out bread completely. My brain fog was gone and physically felt better. But I did this experiment long before there was a book on wheat . It works.
My wife discovered that she is gluten intolerant (diagnosed by a physician). She cut the wheat and I went along for the ride. I guess I never knew how it was affecting me until I stopped eating it. Lost weight, feel a LOT better, more energy and better mental clarity (memory). There's definitely something to it. Since then, I've talked to a lot of people who have had similar experiences. I'm pretty skeptical, but this is pretty obvious. Also, you need to follow the money to understand the propaganda. Who has the money -- The wheat industry.
My 10 year battle with palm eczema, cracked and bleeding, was finally healing after 72 hours on a wheat free diet and was completely healed within 30 days. It may not be the gluten but perhaps the glyphosate or other chemicals or additives. Another small patch of eczema on the back of my neck started oozing clear pus and itching within an hour of ordering seasoned french fries at a drive through. Sure enough, I check the ingredients in the seasoning = WHEAT! My body had been crying out to me for years and I just did not understand the language my cells were speaking. I lost 20 pounds in 2 months even though I was consuming more calories than ever, trying to compensate for the calories I knew I was giving up.
My friend and his wife are becoming walking zombies, they eat so much bread and lots of processed foods. He looks four months pregnant and she just looks tired and pair shaped. I quit bread just from being grossed out watching my friends change physically and mentally. Fresh meat and fresh fruit are doing it for me.
There is a thing called "non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity" which many people are not aware of. Gluten does cause inflammation in many people. Cutting off gluten altogether is absolutely a great thing to do for your health.
@@greentea2451 I don't think most people are aware. Most people still eat bread and lots of it. Heck, I still eat bread from time to time. I don't really have much of a problem with it. I just removed it from my life because it's basically just sugar, and sugar is the primary cause of most of these problems, not wheat alone. People just eat too much wheat.
This is the first time I came across this Doc and I am not sure that I can confirm everything he says. But I will say this. Until 30 years ago I ate wheat most of my life. In the 1980s I stopped making my own bread and began to eat bread which I bought in stores. Suddenly weight gain began to pile on and my belly grew until it became embarrassing. But the worse part is that my vision began to fail. I can give a long list of side effects. Today if I eat bread from a bakery I get a severe reaction in my stomach as if I am getting a heart attack. However, if we make bread at home using organic wheat, I do not get the heart attack effect. However weight gain still comes on, although at a slower rate and there is nothing you can do to make it go away. When I cut out wheat, I lose weight at a rapid rate. I lost 35 lbs recently and I feel so much better. My independent test from my own life experience's conclusion, independent of anybody's books, tells me "Eat today's wheat at your own risk".
I'm on the 2 day gluten-free and feel much more relaxed, peaceful and not anxious. I'm happy for you and I will continue in this way too. Btw ( When gluten is introduced in the system, it inhibits the tryptophan availability ultimately leading to decreased production of serotonin. L- tryptophan is crucial for the production of serotonin) And remember people that the 90% of the happiness come form the gut, only 10% from the mind 🙏
@@oldman6489 yes! Agree to this all! I had what looked like from the outside no reason to be anxious or depressed but I literally couldn’t shake the feelings. Once I changed my diet it healed within 4 weeks and I am happy and grateful daily!! Our food impacts us 💯 from head to toe and spiritually too
I for one can vouch for Dr. Davis! I am not celiac but am very sensitive to wheat! I feel horrible, exhausted and unable to sleep at night when I eat wheat/gluten.
I’m celiac and before diagnoses I had stomach trouble for years. I can’t and don’t eat wheat. I know non celiacs that go off wheat, and say they feel so much better. I ate wheat for over 40 years, then all of a sudden I can’t tolerate it. I think today’s wheat is being messed with, I don’t believe today’s wheat, is the wheat we ate decades ago.
I gave up wheat almost 30 years ago, and I'm so grateful that I did. I suffered juvenile arthritis. In my 20s I gave my body a major cleanse, fresh fruits and vegetables, NO BREAD, no wheat. All my arthritis problems went away but they will come back as quickly if I consume wheat. If I eat a Salada biscuit before bed, I cannot move my fingers in the morning. It is poison to my body
I wish I did this as a child. I had psoriasis and mostly likely psoriatic arthritis (which wasn't diagnosed until my 30s) since age 12 and the only times I was free of either was in pregnancy which brought a natural remission. Hated pregnancy but loved not feeling something uncomfortable or painful at all times. I reacted to my meds and was scared to move to the next that I also did natural route. Ten years ago now. No more meds and now no joint pain or psoriasis. You're lucky. My elimination list is high- no dairy, gluten, nightshades (except bell peppers), peanuts, high carb, sugars, oranges, grapefruit. I'm the same in how quickly the pain comes back when off course. Benefits are worth any of these items.
When I eat commercial brands of bread, I can have digestive issues. If I bake my own bread using just 5 ingredients (flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar which can be optional) I have no digestive issues. I personally believe our intolerance to modern wheat products, comes not from the wheat, but from the huge amount of additives put into bread and other wheat baked goods. When reading an ingredient list it should take seconds not minutes. It should include words you can pronounce, not an entire list of scientific names, many of which are stabilizers and preservatives to make products more shelf stable.
Thankyou!! Because all of a sudden half of the human population has a gluten allergy now a days when in reality its most likely the preservatives and junk they process it with.
Tend to agree.Personally know hundreds of families who eat wheat products made at home three times a day,in moderation, who have none of the diseases mentioned in this video. None of their patents suffers from these decease either. I have been eating wheat all my life,with no issues.I am almost seventy, bench press 180 Lbs,leg press 410 Ibs. I believe it’s the wheat that gives me the strength . Don’t eat much meat.
I'm a baker, have been for years both professionally and at home. I have used ALL different kinds of flour from home grown and self ground to H&R flour to supermarket brands. There is a HUGE difference in the quality and nutritional content of the various wheat products. HUGE.
Went keto 6 weeks ago to lose weight. I had no idea how good I would feel, I was ready to ask my doctor for a knee replacement then all pain disappeared. I lost 18 lbs and I keep dropping about 1 lb every 2 days. All I would say to people is give it a try. What have you got to lose
My son suffered from Asthma symptoms since 6mo. We were at the ER every other week, monthly visits to “asthma specialists” and of course no mention of gluten. Someone suggested I cut gluten from his diet for 3 months. I gave it a try and guess what? Not a single asthma crisis. Introduced gluten back and 3 days after a couple of innocent cookies and garlic bread he was wheezing. Tried that out a couple of times and every time he was wheezing after a couple of days. He is not celiac, but I am convinced the gluten causes his asthma symptoms to flare. I haven’t taken my son to any “specialists” in 3 years. That “allergy specialist” made fun of me when I suggested I was going to cut gluten. Guess he is sad he is not seeing out money any longer.
My skin has cleared up without grains! I tend to have reddish rosacea-looking on my face and it has cleared up in two weeks, eating a largely Keto diet. I haven't had any grains for this period of time, and the flour I used was from almonds and coconuts. I think Dr. Davis in on the right track.
He was kind of the right track.... but not really. Singling out wheat as the main culprit was off the mark and kind of dogmatic. The latest science has found that it's actually carbs that's the culprit. And in that regard, corn, rice and potatoes are even worse than wheat in carb content and glycemic index. Also, not all vegetables are healthy. For example, beans, sweet potatoes, rutabaga, turnips and beets are to be avoided. At the very beginning of this documentary, Davis is having a meal without wheat but he's drinking red wine... Those of us who follow a Keto lifestyle know that alcohol is even worse than wheat.
@@Tuxedo2680 If that works for you, great! I'm one of those who can eat corn, rice, rutabagas, beets -- all of those high glycemic other foods -- and not gain weight or become unwell. Maybe there is such a thing as biochemical individuality, as Roger Williams posited back in the 1950s.
@@gracegwozdz8185 Your ignorance is outstanding Grace. Monsanto was bought out 3 years ago by Bayer lock stock and barrel and does not exist today. There many companies even foreign companies Producing and selling Roundup(Glyphosate).

I have never heard of this book or this doctor. This is my experience: I suferred from arthritis for 9 years (could not stand fo more than 15mins) and 2 years back the 2nd DMARDs drugs did not work... I was desperate and decided to omit certain foods... I first started with milk, sugar...lastly wheat. For the last 2 years I have been arthritis free(I go for full day hikes!) because I went completely gluten free. Then I tested each food item and whenever I ate wheat, within 1 hr my joint starts to hurt, nose starts getting runny and my voice gets horse ( acid reflux). Who is better to knw my own body but myself? It worked for me and I feel great!
I experienced those exact same symptoms when ever I eat anything with a grain in it. I gave up all of them and now I take fire cider everyday and I have no aches or allergic reactions. I went totally Ketogenic Diet and I've never felt better in my life. So I agree, who knows your body better than you? No one.
I am happy for you. Happy that you discovered on your own what healed your awful arthritis. It could have been anything and you hit the jackpot I guess relatively fast? You are so lucky. Wheat or no wheat, we are all different in the inside, for one going gluten free is the answer, for another something else for the same problem. Maybe. We all have to take things into our own hands and not listen to these gurus and experiment on ourselves to see what works and what not. Bottom line.
I also never heard of either book or Dr, I stopped eating grains all grains as daily staple. Sinuses are clear now. Belly is almost gone. Had not been arthritic but joints do have pain after eating
My aunt in Europe use to ask us to bring flour from Canada when ever we visited because she said it stretched better. We never understood this until my wife was diagnosed with celiac disease and we learned more about gluten. Then we started to have people who came to Canada saying they were having gut problems when they ate flour in Canada, but not back in their home countries. I hardly ever eat flour products because of my wife, but when I do I feel like I have less energy. I personally do not have to watch my diet and I have never read the hype or book. But I do feel the difference long before this guy ever existed.
I'm with you on that. I'm thin healthy and run around the oval. I left the dago diet behind over 15 years ago. I looked at the structure of starch. It's all glucose, all sugar. But bread, rice and pasta does not taste sweet. That's the deception. What's happening is the glucose peak. This was the myth. We don't get an energy lift after sugar intake. We actually get a low. I even fall asleep after coffee and toast. The toast is making me tired. Then hours later comes the energy and the massive hunger cravings. This is the cycle and the 'addiction' people claim they have. Along with the mood swings. I test this out occasionally. I may eat a bowl of pasta once every five years and sure enough, I'm half alive and then moody, stodgy bowel, followed by cravings. Nothing in this report mentioned the glucose peak. This is the crux of everybody's suffering.
The reality is that Monsanto chemicals and other treatments applied during grain culturing have been absorbed into those grains. You can assume that these chemicals make you sick, sooner or later. [Aussie in BC]
wheat had to be altered thousands and thousands of times to resist round up, that same resistance to roundup makes me wonder if it also is much more resistant to our body digesting it properly.
My personal experience with eating wheat was atrocious - l bloated to size 14, along with health issues including stomach problems, but immediately saw a drastic result when l started eliminating wheat from my diet! No only did my health improved but, now a health size 8!
Everyone who is serious about this should look at the evidence available and then draw their own conclusions. My friend recommended going off wheat so I tried it for four months. The drop in inflammation in my joints was dramatic, but it took that long. I wasn't even doing it for that reason, I was doing it because I wanted to lose weight. I don't know if it helped for the weight loss, but the sharp drop in joint inflammation was enough to make me swear off wheat forever. I personally don't give a rats banana what other people think about it, I did it for my own health and happiness.
By 'cutting out wheat', you also cut out a lot of processed foods, like breads, crackers, pastas, pastries etc which is where most of the health benefits might be coming from.
I HAVE BEEN WHEAT/GLUTEN FREE FOR 2 YEARS AND FEEL MUCH BETTER. I JUST FOUND THIS VIDEO. I HAD NO IDEA I HAD A DOCTOR SPREADING THE SAME MESSAGE AS ME. THANK YOU.
Lol, this has been an EXTREMELY popular issue for 10 years. "Wheat Belly" came out 10 years ago -- on best selly lists for long periods. So, you could never have missed it.
@@archimedesmaid3602 You silly. It's entirely possible to miss a book about diet, if diet is not on your list of interests. You could be paying attention to raising children, cooking great meals of different ethnicities, art, music, law, political shenanigans, regreening deserts... Life is full of learning opportunities.
O people of goodness and merciful hearts, my husband was martyred in the prisons of the Syrian regime, and I and my children remained alone in the Syrian refugee camps.
Ah, yes. More proof that the evil wheat plant can be directly linked to hip pain. Give me a break, Jeff. If this quack wrote a book linking colon and rectal cancers to the type of toilet people use regularly, I'm sure you would be one of the first people to throw out your toilet and replace it with one he recommends.
Cut out the wheat in my mom's diet six months ago and her two autoimmune diseases went into remission. One of those diseases, polymyalgia rheumatica, was caused by the statin her doctor gave her for mildly elevated cholesterol = another health land mine.
Yes I stopped pasta, pizza, anything dago diet, then no morning cereal, then rice. Why? I looked at the molecule of starch and realised it's just a chain of glucose molecules. It is all just sugar. But I followed Dr Steve Gundry's diet and after just 3 days I finally had no pain in my bowels for the first time in over 12 years. He claims it's all about lectins, which wheat is full of. So cut out rice and soy too.
Just 4 years ago out of nowhere I developed severe IBS, later on after cutting out dairy and wheat products my issue got drastically better. And yet I tested negative to celiac disease and even did a colonoscopy to find my intestines in perfect condition. I believe this new wheat is in fact destroying our microbiome.
@@marlenegold280 celiac test is 100percent but modern wheat has dna cloned or spliced or inserted by natural means to 1) make the wheat generate proteins that cause certain insects to suffocate themselves 2) there are fungi resistant jeans that create proteins 3). There are genes in wheat to make it glyphosate resistant They do t do antibody tests for these other proteins
Totally rotten for me. I stopped eating wheat about two years ago and I'm a new man. No more acid reflux, no more joint pain. You can take that to the bank.
I stoped few months ago i had joint damage stomuch issues was vomiting almost every day some times few times a day Bruises. Heart burn. Id shake id fel i needed something. all my health isaues stoped when i got off gluten if i only knew years ago. I also loss a tone of weight it just came off when i stoped gluten
I've been wheat free for 6 months, and have reduced the inflammation in my body, have regained clarity of mind, cleared up my IBS, lowered my cholesterol, lost 32 lbs. I'm a believer!
If you don't have celiac disease or any sort of gluten intolerance then it won't make a difference. As someone who studies dietetics you people need to realise that people with real gluten intolerance have their small intestine destroyed by an auto-immune response to gliadin (a part of the gluten protein). It's genetic and a doctor can test you to see if your body is producing these immune bodies in high numbers. People without the genetic mutation have absolutely no problem digesting gluten. Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain.
FireProMMA-- Re: "...Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain..." Not in and of itself, but if she reduced her total carb intake as part of going "wheat free", that could help weight and cholesterol. Google "insulin resistance".
fire: you're fired!! LOL "won't make a difference", yet you are responding to someone who stated removing wheat has made ALOT of difference. YOU ARE WHAT IS WRONG w/ THE ENTIRE MEDICAL INDUSTRY: It's a shame your school doesn't teach you anything else besides BS...you need to grow up.
After decades of stomach issues just cutting out bread, corn, and sugar with intermittent fasting has fixed so much. Mainly getting away from round up, and prossesed foods. I still eat high quality pasta every once in awhile, with home grown vegetables and herbs. I'm getting ready to plant my own wheat, roundup free and fresh ground bread next year.
Besides removing animals from our life, removing glutein was the other biggest life changer. No this wasn't yesterday, last week, last month, or last year. Its not rocket science that processed foods like glutein can have negative side effects. Issue im seeing is that people dont think about what theyre replacing it with, no thanks to lies fed to users by corporates
Some farmers are spraying their wheat fields with roundup before they harvest. This dries it makes harvest easier and slightly improves yield. If you're going to eat it at least go for organic.
I have been tested negative for Celiac Disease, however I did have an IG test saying i was sensitive to Wheat. I suffered from bloating and gas for years. I cut out wheat and it all went away. Now if i eat anything made of wheat i have an instant response. I never heard of Wheat Belly, but Gluten free is not a choice its a requirement.
I felt so much better after going gluten free, within 2 days, my mind was clearer and brain fog was greatly reduced. My friends at work asked me what i did differently and that i should stick to it. I felt so embarassed because when i was still consuming wheat, i couldn't concentrate/focus and i felt inarticulate. I dont think there is enough scientific study. done to study the benefit of going gluten free, but at the end of the day i can feel the difference, mind/mental, physical energy and so on
The problem with most people is that they would rather believe what is said than to find out for themselves what the reality is . I have known for years that bread and milk eliminated from the diet as much as possible, creates a healthier and pain free life style . I know this because I have done this for years . Our bodies and it's maladies are the products of what we eat and drink .
I feel that wheat is not the only cause of health problems. It's also the sugar itself that's causing so many health problems that Dr. Davis talked about. That's just the beginning. Even the fruits and vegetables too are being tampered with. I feel it's sad that everything we eat that is supposed to be healthy is making us sick. It feels so frustrating that no matter how well I try to eat well, everything is tainted.
Tip there- start your own internal garden for salads , external -fruits & others with minimum pesticide sprays. While there view about companion planting. You’ll not only eat healthier, you’ll feel a lot better AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO HAVE A GO & JOIN IN 🤔You can do it !!
You've always got to ask: "Who funded this study, this presentation, this book?" If you were confused after watching this -- that is sufficient. Disinformation is meant to get you 1.) trusting nothing you hear and 2.) getting you to revert to old ways -- be they smoking, eating ice cream, eating wheat or whatever. As for this instance, why not just try quitting wheat for a while and seeing what happens? Then you can know for yourself -- no need to trust, believe and such.
@@edsedlak6827 Well said. I stopped eating bread and now I can go running again with much less hip pain. It is possible that it is just eating less starch. But it doesn’t matter if it makes you feel better, it works.
I did the Carnivore Diet eating only meat for 3 months. It blew my mind! Never though this feeling was even possible! Then I tried eating bread and Boom! Fatigue hit like a brick!
Yes, that's the glucose peak you're suffering from. We need to cut out carbs to a minimum as most people don't do the hard physical labour like yesteryear.
The guy is from the US and must hv been sent to do a demolition job on the Canadian wheat export industry. Most of the processed wheat food we enjoy in Canada are processed in the US for food processing and production. We produce wheat at its finest but what happens during fortification is outside our industry.
This show was all about bashing this doctor. I personally reduced carbs out of my diet and lost weight and all my stomach issues went away. So, I do believe that the doctor is telling to truth.
So was it the carbs in general or were all of your carbs wheat? Your story is anecdotal, not proof. The show is not about bashing this doctor, its about people like you who never question anything. For all you know just the simple reduction in calories is what caused your weight loss. I myself am neither anti or pro wheat. I eat bread and pasta on occasion, but not as a daily thing to consume because I consider wheat to be what it is - a mostly inferior food product that has a very low nutrient/calorie ratio. It's basically one notch above pure table sugar in terms of nutrition, especially when you consider the amount of processing wheat goes through before it ends up on your plate. There's better and more nutritious stuff to eat than bread and pasta.
@@samuelbrainsample you say people like me who never question anything without knowing anything about my standing or any research that I have personally done. I don't get your statement.
Wheat is so extremely addictive at least in my case . It brought me all sort of health issues. No regrets avoiding it. Also if they government recommends something I have a tendency to be suspicious and try the opposite .
Same here. Wheat makes me sick, so I avoid it. I feel so much better without it, my metabolism increased, no hives or other allergic reactions, chronic disease gone, I've lost weight, I'm not tired anymore and I feel lighter and more energetic.
@@TheRm65 Of course it was the grains and all that followed with it!! Stop eating bread was the only thing I never thought of before....now I know better! Get lost!
Edouard Millan maybe you have celiacs disease. It only effects a small percentage of people. I have been eating wheat my whole life, I am 66 and in good health.
Edouard Millan I had a similar experience. I stopped eating wheat for 30 days just to see if I would lose weight (I lost 10 lbs). But then I started noticing other effects I was not expecting. Chronic joint pain that I had had for over 25 years practically disappeared, and low grade depression and brain fog cleared up. I also noticed my acne went away and my gums stopped bleeding. My doctor had no reaction when I told him; he just stared at me like I was speaking Greek. I went back and read Wheat Belly and it all made sense. Now, when I fall off the wagon, all the symptoms return, so I will follow my body. And no, I don’t test positive for celiac disease. Flatulence and chronic post-nasal drip went away as well.
I completely cured my life-long affliction with dermatitis two weeks into a gluten-free diet. I know it is the wheat because I break out every time I unknowingly eat wheat that was hidden in the products. There are way too many stories like mine to make it coincidence. Perhaps it is glyphosates, but wheat is heavily sprayed with it before harvesting.
I haven't heard one word about glyphosate and roundup, and the law suit which was succeeded by showing that it is indeed carcinogenic, which is in gmo wheat!! I would think organic wheat would be ok, but i prefer not!
glyphosate can give you colitis for the rest of your life, in which case eating organic wheat won't help you. Once you get sensitized to gluten, you are screwed.
Lawsuits are not about proving science. They're about of lay people trying to interpret data that scientist can't agree on, in this case.The result is juries decide based on emotions not evidence.
@cobainzlady Most Non GM wheat itself (at maturity) is doused with glyphosate to DRY it quickly just before harvest. This saves the farmer several weeks natural drying time. So the labels reasuring people the packaged food is GMO free are giving consumers false confidence. It is not a different issue when wheat is increasingly causing "allergic" reactions.
Another good reason to avoid, but so much of our agriculture is sprayed and probably not the best for us. Eat as organic and local as you can. I do think Davis's claims are totally over board. Wheat because we have eaten too much of it, its been too much of our diet. Variety is important. People have become allergic to different wheat proteins in large numbers, so cutting back on it has helped many people. Don't worry about finding substitutes, simply eat other things.
@@Maymet the thing that bothers me about this is that usually with allergens, allergies help to overcome them by introducing more and more of these allergens to the person (look up how allergy injections work). So they help people with allergies by exposing them to high quantities of those allergens titrated up over time but in this statement it is being hypothesized that the cause of the allergic reactions to this wheat is the overconsumption of the product?
Exactly, these fuckers just attack mother nature's grains and sell it to you on mainstream television, and say nothing about the chemicals used in growing crops, or promoting organic foods.
I’m really disappointed in this program, I expected to hear plain facts about the effects of wheat consumption on human health. This is apparently an attack, not a revelation. I suspect the Wheat Industry is feeling the pinch.
> I expected to hear plain facts about the effects of wheat consumption on human health. This is apparently an attack, not a revelation. I suspect the Wheat Industry is feeling the pinch. It sounds like your disappointed because you expected the program to validate your opinions and when it didn't you decided to instead discredit their investigation based on baseless accusations and unfounded conspiracies. You feel personally attacked because this investigation did not confirm your life choice. This sort of close minded position that so easily shuts down opposition without consideration, but with slander, is childish, and quite frankly sad. Try to be open minded and listen to any evidence put forth. Draw your own conclusions, but base them on the evidence and not on perceived conspiracies or simply because you do not like what you hear. Am I saying your wrong, no. You may well be right. Am I saying you are opinionated and offer no evidence for your opinions, yes. Declaring unfounded opinions and conspiracies based on suspicion does not help. It only feeds likeminded positions that have no facts behind them and does not help point the discussion in the right direction of scientific knowledge and investigation.
@@willdazey7368 totally agree with your observations here. Changing a life long habit of eating wheat products is not only difficult but also painful.

Lol Brilliant documentary. That eliminates 70% of foods we eat. I grow organic foods in my garden. I totally agree with Wheat Belly. This is my experience just try it, and find out for yourself.
It's not about celebrities.. Understand that no medical professional has proper nutrition as a subject in their syllabus.. That's is why difficult to trust MOST of them.. Most of the health issue.. Dangerous health issue originates from metabolic syndrome.. And metabolic syndrome has everything to do with what we eat and the way body respond to it..
Your post is false. Glyphosate can not be used as a herbicide on cereal grain for they are not gmo technology crops. Can you name the crops that use gmo technology? Can you name the gmo technology crops that can NOT have glyphosate used on them? You sound clueless about this subject aerospot2.
I’m going to try this just because the fact that it gets the government in an uproar. There’s no harm in cutting out any food and I wonder why the powers that be are so upset about this trend?
Hey, Paula great observation! Food and Grain Farming lobbies may have financed the whole production. Put a microphone in front of some people and the feel compelled to say something even if it's wrong good Labor Day!
I heard that wheat-free dog food is causing dogs to have heart problems. Vets are seeing dogs feed wheat/gluten free diets are brought in with heart ailments that hadn’t been seen before.
Yasmine Morantes I wonder if he could tolerate raw wheat berries soaked/sprouted and then blended in a smoothie. That’s how I consume wheat. I’m a raw food vegan.
all I can say is if you buy smart bread it will last for months without molding or changing in smell, now if bacteria will not grow on it that leaves a lot of room for thought
@Duke Steele It works for me! Lost 20kg , with no changes in calories or exercise and maintaining that lose for more than five years! No more NASH, arthritis, or sinus infections ! There are absolutely no essential carbohydrates needed in the human diet and grain are all evil too.
I have eaten wheat for nearly whole my life, and had bad diarrhoea nearly once a week. Since stopping eating it, by chance, all my stomach issues completely disappeared. That is the only truth for me, and I am not eating it again.
Diagnosed with celiac after suffering 60 years - severe vertigo, tingling in face, nerve damage, heart attack from low potassium, magnesium, iron - my life was utterly destroyed.
It is true I cut wheat out of my diet. All my allergies are gone my a1c down from 7.8 to 6.0 lost 75 pounds all in 3 months. Also my kidney function is getting better .
The enemy is SUGAR, which unfortunately a lot of wheat products have a lot of added sugar and sweetners. Check your labels espically your sugar content always
Megan K-Exactly!!! People are using cause and effect thinking it’s wheat when it’s what’s added to the wheat, which is sugar in it myriad of forms that is problem.
If we'd waited for "definitive proof" that cigarettes were addictive, we couldn't make that claim until the 1980's. Consumers don't need definitive proof. If they want to know if they're addicted, they can just try to quit grains for one month. They can see for themselves whether or not they have overwhelming cravings, dizziness or moodiness, the shakes/jitters, and then a couple weeks later, whether or not they get better sleep, have more energy, etc.. Even if you're right, and not everyone is negatively impacted by wheat, there's no denying that a lot of people are glad they gave it up!
The problem isn't wheat but refined carbohydrates. It the equivalent of replacing cigars with cigarettes because they have a filter, but you're still consuming too much. Cutting bread only helps if you don't replace it with other carbs. If you replace spaghetti with spaghetti squash, that's a huge savings in carbs and calories. That's what makes the difference. If you're simply consuming gluten free products, you're just switching to cigarettes. Companies will just create GMO gluten free wheat. Its not going to fix the problem.
@@joemann7971Huh?? Im confused. Gluten, wheat, carbs. Same but different One can eat potatoes and still gain benefits from cutting out wheat. Maybe its the gluten, maybe its the wheat. Maybe its the additives and preservatives. Maybe its the gov subsidies that causes wheat to be included in Everything. Maybe its different for different people.
One doesnt need to be addicted to be adversely affected. I gave up gluten, had surprisingly beneficial results, but never had any adverse affects. No shakes or sweats or jitters or mood swings.
I don't know about that chemist's claim that wheat is not addictive. You put out a pan of warm cinnamon rolls and I just might punch a baby to get to those sweet pastry delights. Not to hurt or injure. Just to ensure it can't beat me to the pan.
I haven’t read this book ever, but after watching this video I am convinced and concerned enough to try cutting wheat out of my diet and see what kind of an impact it has on me. I am already skinny so losing weight is not my goal but going wheat free is solely about getting better health and healing from diseases. If after 6 months I feel better in health then wheat-free lifestyle is something I like to continue.
Try cutting out wheat from your diet for a month or two and see if there are any benefits for you. There sure were for me. Then try adding it back and see if there are any negative consequences. There sure were for me.
I did that and I felt better when I ate it again. Organic whole wheat or sprouted wheat without preservatives or junk is healthy. Try eating Einkorn, it tastes even better
There is nothing wrong with wheat unless you have some allergy to it and that is probably the poison that they put on it. ALMIGHTY GOD put it on earth for people to enjoy.
@@jalalern4714 But that essentially made it a low carb diet which is what the documentary pointed out. I'm willing to bet that if you used the same methodology as Dr. Davis you could get the same recommendation for _every_ food group, vegetables included. Water would be acceptable but in limited quantities.
I found this VERY interesting.. I'm from Australia, and knew nothing about all this Wheat hype...However, I have had a strange allergy now for quite a few years, and have recently found that the onset of my burning lumps came after eating bread... I ruled it out at first because I'd never heard of anyone being allergic to bread.. But after finally listening carefully to my body, I can't rule it out any more.. It's quite evident to me now that it IS BREAD!. Since cutting it out of my diet three months ago, I am now ALLERGY FREE!
I was a bread salesman in the 60s and bread then had to be removed from stores in 3 days but now it is dated good for 2 weeks. What did they put in it? That concerns me!
Ironic Huxley worked directly on the MK Ultra project and yearned for a totalitarian technocracy (his book Brave New World Revisited). So much easier to keep a population dumbed down if it's also sick.
Thank you to The Fifth Estate for presenting both sides in their reports. While there are certainly people who must avoid certain foods or components of food, that doesn't make Wheat a blanket enemy. Wheat is and has been a nutritional necessity for billions of people all over the world. Those in the 1st world countries are discovering themselves having health issues for many reasons, but mostly because of the nutrient deficient, over processed ingredients in our food. Bread as most of us know it is "white bread". It is made with flour that has been stripped of it's nutrition, fiber and almost all of the components that made natural whole grain flour healthy. Some say that it is healthy because the companies put back in some of the stuff that was removed. But they don't return all, and what they do put back in are synthetic because leaving them in or replacing with natural components would make it non shelf stable. Natural wheat flour bread made with whole grain wheat that is not heavily processed is healthy, but does spoil quickly. The natural flour itself is less shelf stable so it must be used more quickly than people will be able to buy it. The dangerous things added to the food items we are eating are sugar, bleach, synthetic chemicals, fillers, preservatives and in some cases, the pesticides used on the grain during the growing process. Eliminating all products from a diet that contain wheat, eliminates all those bad things but is Dr Davis looking at that? His shortsightedness eliminates a lot of healthy nutrition in order to cut out the items that are the real danger. Will people lose weight on a diet without wheat? Of course. Eliminating all foods that contain wheat means cutting out the over processed flour foods that so many are eating like white bread, pasta, cereals, crackers, bakery, cookies, gravies and sauces - all of which contain wheat, but also contain a host of fats, sugars, salt, chemicals and preservatives that are the real culprits. Look at people who live in areas where pasta is eaten daily and often at every meal. Many live well into their 90s and even beyond 100. How? The pasta is made with hard Durham wheat and not adulterated with nearly as many chemicals as other countries. The wheat itself isn't the problem - it is what happens to the flour during the processing and what is added to the pasta dish after cooking. The rest of their diet consists of low protein (3-6 ounces per day) and a much higher amount of fresh vegetables and fruits than we typically eat at each meal. Dishes are more natural, served with only a drizzle of simple fats or vinegar and oil instead of heavy dressings. Rice has also become a nutrient deficient item. Stripped of most of it's vitamins and fiber during processing to give us a fluffy, light item to carry a sauce or gravy for flavor. Brown rice is better, by keeping it's fiber and nutrition and it keeps us full longer - allowing our bodies time to process any sugars that are added by consuming fruits, vegetables and sauces that are added to the meal. This helps us avoid the glucose spikes that diabetics often experience. As our species have explored the glove and discovered new and exciting foods - we want them. But many don't travel well in their natural state so they are harvested before they are ripe or are processed with chemicals to survive the travel. The real health culprits are in those things that our bodies were not designed to eat and the fact that industry has not found a way to keep foods in their natural, intact state long enough to get them from the farms to the table without spoiling. It is cheaper for them to strip the nutrition that allows food to spoil quickly and add in synthetic additives, salts, sugars and preservatives that our bodies can't process.
Funny how you claim that sugar (a 100% carbohydrate) is dangerous, but whole wheat which is also carbohydrate by 75% is nutritious, lol. No, it is not, it's poison by 75%, not to mention the gluten thing in addition.
@@leykimayri Sugar and highly processed foods containing little fiber or nutrition are dangerous. Ingesting large amounts of simple carbs will spike glucose levels very quickly for those who are diabetic. Whole grain Durham wheat does have carbohydrates but it also has protein and nutrients that slow it's being absorbed - allowing the body time to handle the more complex carb. As a diabetic, I have studied and experimented with many dishes containing carbs to manage my glucose levels without having to take insulin. It is a matter of moderation and balancing carb and protein intake. Yes, wheat products do contain gluten and that is a problem for those with gluten intolerance.
@@fertilizerjunkie4410 That is correct Fertilizer Junkie. Wheat is not a gmo technology crop. There are many companies even foreign companies producing and selling Glyphosate(Roundup). Glyphosate is the safest herbicide ever used by farmers even safer than many of the Highly toxic pesticides Organic Growers use.
After years of sinus problems and over production of mucus I stopped eating wheat and lowered my intake of carbs in general and my problems disappeared.
same here... after seeing many Medical Doctors over about 50 years. Was living on nasal sprays and 12 hour Pseudophed. Stopped all gluten and sesamie as per my own internet exploration. Like night and day. Sinus issues cleared up. Also Brain Fog cleared-up. Doctors should advise cause could be dietary. Their training Is to cure only with meds Shades of BIG PHARMA.
What a great book - and what a difference following Dr Davies' advice made in my life - after a month or so of being grain free - I felt and looked a decade younger. this was about a decade ago - I would never go back to eating grain - especially the GMO stuff most Americans and Canadians eat/ Most people tell me I look a decade or so younger than I am
I agree too. I didn't see any war on wheat. If there are people who don't want to include wheat in their diet and that makes them feel good, then they should do it.There are so many different diets, some people don't eat pork, some people don't eat beef, some people don't eat meat at all, some people don't like spinach, other don't like mushrooms. Why the fuss? Is there something essential in the wheat that makes it necessary to consume it daily? Apart from the western diet, many cultures don't include wheat in their diet.
There is a Russian saying my dad used to say; keep your feet warm, your head in the wind and your stomach in a continuous state of famine and you'll end up living to over 100 years.
Godisknocking 777x7, Quite a few years ago, I read some Research into Life Extension, (1970's), and the authors recommended systematic UNDER-EATING but, my Grandfather was taught as a Boy that he should always leave something on his plate, (depending on the Culture), and that he should leave the table a little hungry. I have always followed that advise from when I was a Lad. Both sources were right on the Money for reasons that should be obvious to anyone
Studies have shown that calorie restriction in rats causes them to live something like 30% longer. The bible says "don't live to eat, eat to live." We all eat WAY too much food now a days and it's mostly junk.
Johnny B That’s exactly right. I go to bed a little hungry at night. And wheat is a staple in my diet, just not a lot. I’m almost 50 and take no prescriptions and weigh 123 lbs. People eat way too much and way more than we ever have in history.
I have told many people here I only eat twice a day. Lunch & Dinner and at nearly 50 yrs old, I'm still wearing a size 30 waist jeans (since 20 yrs old) high energy, no afflictions... fasting does a body good! We're not designed to have access to 3-5 meals a day.
It never occurred to me that wheat was addictive but I see it now, when you walk past a bakery and smell that freshly baked bread, even now it's almost irresistible. Sugar is easier to resist, you can't smell it.
@@familyrabinovsky2875 Well, that's because you're talking about cocaine. If you're addicted to something. Cigarettes, for instance, you don't have to be attracted to the smell of it. You can however be attracted to the smell of something you like and really be addicted to something like freshly baked bread or donuts but try being attracted to the smell of a chocolate bar.
I'm sure he hasn't next sugar from his diet, which is the root of his diabetes to begin with! Ground-up grains have the same insulin response, if not greater than, sugars.
Processed wheat, flour. When you drop those things from your diet and when you avoid all processed foods AND processed oils, you get positive results within a week or two. Couple your food choices with time restricted eating (going longer between meals, no snacks) and for sure you're gonna see improvements.
The problem with wheat in Canada since 1990 is: The use Roundup used to dry (desiccate) it at harvest. This depletes it of magnesium and selenium( concentrated in wheat germ) etc.Ref: Use of Hovis bread since 1800's in England for sick male children (Likely mercury exposure from coal)
Farmers don't Desiccate Wheat. I grew up on a farm and live in a farming community. I have NEVER seen or heard a farmer doing that. My Brother is a big farmer and he has never done it. NONE DO get your facts straight.
@@norm7015 I grew up around cats. I have NEVER seen a cat give birth. My Brother has NEVER seen a cat give birth. Therefore cats don't give birth. NONE DO - get your facts straight. (I'm not sure where all these kittens are coming from but it's definitely NOT cats.)
@@norm7015 You don't even have to leave the comfort of TH-cam to see that you are in error about farmers not doing that. Just put "glyphosate wheat desiccation" in the search engine and see what you find. Good for you that you didn't in your area. It's been the prevailing practice since the early 90s. and roughly 25-35% of wheat in the US is sprayed with Roundup days before harvest and in Canada, it's much higher than that. It's not just wheat either. Dozens of crops are sprayed with glyphosate just before harvest. Be well
Why are these experts and Dr.s so offended? If giving up wheat makes someone feel better, then that's great. Dr.s have no problem giving people medicine full of chemicals and dyes.
Cassi, Our good doctors are as uneducated as general public about chemical toxicity in our food supply or environment. Just read a modern medical manual of "Toxicology" from which our doctors are trained. Sad, sad to read that fluoride, aluminum and mercury was blanked out from the list of most toxic elements to our body. So, if the doctors don't clue in and they are not allowed by PROCEDURES to seek the cause of us being sick, then who will help us??? Well, only the ones who are not under the system pressure to sell and profit: Holistic Nutritionists. Do you know any?
I have gone grain free and there is a clear difference in the way I feel. I’m working on getting all processed foods out of my diet. I just want to be all natural for a better quality of life.
I had the same problem, and the test results showed that I have no Gluten allergy. So the doctor called it Chron's disease and prescribed dangerous drugs such as IMURAN and steroids. I decided to go Gluten and lactose free. After 1 year the doctor was shocked that the colonoscopy showed that all the polyps disappeared and no redness and inflammation. Now 10yrs passed and I fell great, I dont need Gluten or lactose to enjoy eating..
Vannessa, Have you ever heard of the placebo effect. Pick any goofy diet you choose, Get on It... and you will feel better right away due to the placebo effect.
Yes, my daughters both had IBS or Chron's type issues until they changed their diets. Both separately traveled Europe and each noticed that they did not have the digestive system distress while eating there: breads, pastas, etc. didn't affect them like they did in America. Subsequently they went gluten free and/or more plant-based organic diets and their health improved! (Anecdotal, but definitely signals that there is something wrong with the American grains comparatively.)
It seems like this video wants to paint people who don’t eat the wheat as wackos. They keep avoiding the fact that our wheat is genetically modified THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.
Burton wallace Genetic modification feeds the billions. This is a case of where the positives outweigh the negatives. The precautionary principle has no place in the production of food. Mankind has become so afraid of everything. It has moved from the ridiculous to the sublime. Everything in moderation is the key to a healthy life. Every one of the anti-wheat advocates in this video are profiting from there rhetoric. Gluten free is required for celiacs but not for non-celiacs. Those of us who struggle to get by every single day eat wheat because it’s cheap. That’s where our motivation lies. If I could eat something else, I probably would, but I would still consume wheat based products. The “precautionary principle” is going to destroy our species. How about we all practice a little common sense instead of being so damn gullible. It’s rigoddamndiculous!
@@techluvin7691 haves you learned about or investigated genetically modified organisms/ foods? It is so bad for you. There is evidence that it actually changes DNA. WHY WOULD YOU EAT GMO's when you can eat many of the original strains f wheat?
Jim Riopelle Look at Europe and how they avoid gmos. Their health is far far better than USA. What does it profit if your belly’s full but your falling apart???
Changed my diet to GF before reading Davis’ book but I agree (and experienced) with much of what he wrote. Not for everyone but there’s so much out there that makes us sick. Wheat, milk, sugar, fried foods, red meat... all inflammation inducers. Sugar I would say is the worst culprit. Worse than gluten (except for celiacs of course). Wheat is cheap, manufactured sugar is even cheaper and both permeate much of what’s in the grocery store. We eat like crap in the US... corporations, mainstream doctors, and the government has made it hard to know how not to 😕 Educate yourself, know your choices, and most importantly listen to your body!
Wow. That was painful. Extremely biased and sarcastic. The narrator was clearly not interested in how wheat is hurting people. I loved it how they went to a bread research lab to find out what has changed about wheat. No conflict of interest there! I personally stopped eating bread a few years ago and immediately lost 10kg and my energy levels improved. Now I’m experimenting with the ketogenic diet to take this to the next level.
I had major stomach issues for 28 years, which inadvertently affected other parts of my health. I saw Specialist after Specialist to no avail. I went gluten free, dairy free and sugar free and within 1 week I was cured. I wish Doctors told me this 28 years ago! I’m not saying this will work for everyone, but it most definitely worked for me.
P1
Being wheat free is jot patentable
Its not the grains its what they spray on it.
So which one was the culprit, gluten, dairy or sugar? You should have eliminated each one separately. The fast majority of people have no issues with gluten or dairy. Absolutely everyone has issues with sugar. I’m glad you’re doing better, but don’t be to quick to Blane it on gluten until you’ve been medically tested.
@@vry3555 yes pesticides are bad but the wheat causes cravings which make it almost impossible to not overeat. Wheat lobby of course would point to anything but the modified wheat. I have lost 50 lbs and got off meds within 3 months so wheat is one big issue
I am almost 72 - I stopped eating grains & sugar in Feb 2017, and what I thought was dementia disappeared, dizziness gone, years of insomnia gone, pains in my head gone, horrible depression gone and energy increased so that I go all day long. I feel 10 years younger. How can the naysayers explain what this did for me? I had no expectation of these benefits!
I would wager the sugar removal was key.
Amazing
Gmo modified wheat so it can withstand glyphosate (roundup) and the leftover of at least 2 spraying of same is good for you. Believe Monsanto. Dedreased plowing to control weeds and more spraying
@@SoulBirdy glucose is 100 on the glucose index refined wheat is 150.
claudine escoffon-😂😂😂 Right.
What this documentary doesn't reference is that glyphosate specifically binds to the gluten protein. This is described in plenty of scientific literature. A lot of the negative reactions to gluten are not caused by gluten per se, but by glyphosate.
I can tolerate, even enjoy pastries in Paris! Found that out in 2019. It was wonderful! Anyone who's been knows what I'm talking about.
yup...........didn't get into roundup at all.....
Yes and apparently the symptoms of glyphosate poisoning are virtually identical to those of celiac. So it might not be the gluten it might be the glyphosate. And it's sprayed on wheat, corn, oats, soybeans and more which means that if it is the glyphosate, merely avoiding wheat is not the answer.
Great Info …
Stephanie Seneff said two things :
2. Glyphosate (in everything we eat/drink) uncouples the tight junctions in the gut that protect us from food waste moving through the gut wall.
The uncoupling allows toxins in and is the cause of many illnesses (not least leaky gut)
2. Glyphosate molecule is similar to that of GLYCINE which is very necessary for our health. This allows the totally toxic Glyphosate to bind to the receptor sites for Glycine - so our health deteriorates.
Authorities claim Glyphosate is harmless ??? Apparently it is used world wide and is poisoning the planet. Research ZACH BUSH -his *Vermont* lecture is a good place to start.
This documentary is made to promote toxic GMO modern wheat by a state funded televition channel where 10% of world Wheat production is made. Stop eating toxic GMO Wheat, Dairy and Sugar for a month and see the difference. Then decide.
There is no harm in trying to abstain from taking wheat, and see the results.... After all, you are responsible for your own health.
Since giving up all wheat and grain products (by going gluten free), I've been able to come off anti-depresssants after being locked in to them for 26 years, and my arthritic joint pain and inflammation has gone! Extraordinary. Wonderful.
dinahnow ..Thankyou for your Info..I think I'll follow suit...
Do you know if it's wheat itself that causes your problems or GMOs and pesticides? The novel proteins introduced by GMOs can be an allergy trigger.
so, you should live forever after this? See you (on TH-cam) when you reach 100 yrs old
It is quite simple. Stop eating it for a while and see how/if your body reacts.
Karine T. Knudsen
Yes, simple and deep . In deed your body will tell you the truth .
Elimination of all grains for six months will amaze you! Anything that is grassy - oats, wheat, corn, barley and other grass seed. IT's great if you're a ruminant (even then in small quantities!) but not if you're a primate. ESPECIALLY in the ridiculously HUGE quantities we are eating in the west.
Eating anything comes down to having a healthy gut bacteria. If you want to eat grains, its best to sprout them like they did in the past. Watch the You tube video called Nourishing Traditions to find out how various food products were prepared before being consumed.
Karine T. Knudsen
Works for me!
I love wheat. I stopped eating meat for a while and never felt better. Wheat was never a problem for me.
So how much did the wheat industry pay you to produce this?
I had very painful tendonitis in both of my shoulders for over 2 years. Nothing helped it. My range of motion was severely reduced and I had difficulty sleeping. I was skeptical about going grain free, but decided to give it a shot. I KID YOU NOT - 4 days later my pain was GONE. I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and realized that I could move my arms around with no pain!! I actually woke my husband up just to tell him, I was so overjoyed. 6 weeks later, the pain has not returned. Make of that what you will.
Jen Phillips ..that is Wonderful!
I know this goes against the findings in the documentary but my mental and physical state improved drastically when I cut out wheat and refined sugars. I recommend trying it for a week at least once in your life time
what about me , that I'm fine as long as I eat bread , when I stop I get hungry and feel sick ????
Of course you feel better. You cut calories. And it's the refined sugars which are documented to be metabolically bad for you, not to mention addictive. Correlation does not equal causation
Here we eat wheat as it is no refining a or additives, I have never experience ant problem.
Try it for a life time is better than living for a few more weeks
@@bobsaturday4273 you are sicker than you can possibly imagine
I did an experiment for 30 days cut out bread completely. My brain fog was gone and physically felt better. But I did this experiment long before there was a book on wheat . It works.
Agree'd.We are overdosed on processed carbs,or read it as it is....sugar.
Rosie Balberde... Same here Rosie
Within how many days did the brainfog go away ?
My wife discovered that she is gluten intolerant (diagnosed by a physician). She cut the wheat and I went along for the ride. I guess I never knew how it was affecting me until I stopped eating it. Lost weight, feel a LOT better, more energy and better mental clarity (memory). There's definitely something to it. Since then, I've talked to a lot of people who have had similar experiences. I'm pretty skeptical, but this is pretty obvious. Also, you need to follow the money to understand the propaganda. Who has the money -- The wheat industry.
My 10 year battle with palm eczema, cracked and bleeding, was finally healing after 72 hours on a wheat free diet and was completely healed within 30 days. It may not be the gluten but perhaps the glyphosate or other chemicals or additives. Another small patch of eczema on the back of my neck started oozing clear pus and itching within an hour of ordering seasoned french fries at a drive through. Sure enough, I check the ingredients in the seasoning = WHEAT! My body had been crying out to me for years and I just did not understand the language my cells were speaking. I lost 20 pounds in 2 months even though I was consuming more calories than ever, trying to compensate for the calories I knew I was giving up.
My friend and his wife are becoming walking zombies, they eat so much bread and lots of processed foods.
He looks four months pregnant and she just looks tired and pair shaped.
I quit bread just from being grossed out watching my friends change physically and mentally.
Fresh meat and fresh fruit are doing it for me.

There is a thing called "non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity" which many people are not aware of. Gluten does cause inflammation in many people. Cutting off gluten altogether is absolutely a great thing to do for your health.
I believe most people are quite aware of this and it constitutes the largest group of people who simply cannot tolerate gluten
@@greentea2451 I don't think most people are aware. Most people still eat bread and lots of it. Heck, I still eat bread from time to time. I don't really have much of a problem with it.

🐂💩
This is the first time I came across this Doc and I am not sure that I can confirm everything he says. But I will say this. Until 30 years ago I ate wheat most of my life. In the 1980s I stopped making my own bread and began to eat bread which I bought in stores. Suddenly weight gain began to pile on and my belly grew until it became embarrassing. But the worse part is that my vision began to fail. I can give a long list of side effects. Today if I eat bread from a bakery I get a severe reaction in my stomach as if I am getting a heart attack. However, if we make bread at home using organic wheat, I do not get the heart attack effect. However weight gain still comes on, although at a slower rate and there is nothing you can do to make it go away. When I cut out wheat, I lose weight at a rapid rate. I lost 35 lbs recently and I feel so much better.
My independent test from my own life experience's conclusion, independent of anybody's books, tells me "Eat today's wheat at your own risk".
How much damn bread did you eat?
your conclusion is wrong , from your story is "buy your bread at your own risk is the right one "
Gave up wheat 8 years ago. Freed me from a lifetime of psoriasis, GURD, joint pain and about 20 unwanted kgs.
Will let my neighbor know - thanks!
6 months now. I had the same symptoms...and I got the same results. I lost 25lbs.
Feels nice.
@@dlxinfinite7098 did you stop all grains? Or is it okay to eat organic grains?
0 grains for the first 2 months. Reduced grains after that. Kinda harsh, but it cured my skin issues quickly. Belly vanished after 5 months.
@Clorox Tree we get organic plus non GMO where I live but it's twice as expensive. Which is still okay.
My depression, anxiety and vertigo went completely away with going grain and dairy free.
I'm on the 2 day gluten-free and feel much more relaxed, peaceful and not anxious. I'm happy for you and I will continue in this way too. Btw ( When gluten is introduced in the system, it inhibits the tryptophan availability ultimately leading to decreased production of serotonin. L- tryptophan is crucial for the production of serotonin)

I ate wheat for over 40 years, then all of a sudden I can’t tolerate it. I think today’s wheat is being messed with, I don’t believe today’s wheat, is the wheat we ate decades ago.
My sleep did stabilize somewhat when I quit, definitely neurotoxic.
would you tell me the alter of wheat?
I gave up wheat almost 30 years ago, and I'm so grateful that I did. I suffered juvenile arthritis. In my 20s I gave my body a major cleanse, fresh fruits and vegetables, NO BREAD, no wheat. All my arthritis problems went away but they will come back as quickly if I consume wheat. If I eat a Salada biscuit before bed, I cannot move my fingers in the morning. It is poison to my body
Amazing, but l believe you!
Can you please bring me more facts on wheat matters?
I wish I did this as a child. I had psoriasis and mostly likely psoriatic arthritis (which wasn't diagnosed until my 30s) since age 12 and the only times I was free of either was in pregnancy which brought a natural remission. Hated pregnancy but loved not feeling something uncomfortable or painful at all times. I reacted to my meds and was scared to move to the next that I also did natural route. Ten years ago now. No more meds and now no joint pain or psoriasis. You're lucky. My elimination list is high- no dairy, gluten, nightshades (except bell peppers), peanuts, high carb, sugars, oranges, grapefruit. I'm the same in how quickly the pain comes back when off course. Benefits are worth any of these items.
@@rohitpatel8943 watch what Dr B.M. Hegde says about this.
You're suffering from self delusion and feeling symptoms just because yo believe you will
When I eat commercial brands of bread, I can have digestive issues. If I bake my own bread using just 5 ingredients (flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar which can be optional) I have no digestive issues. I personally believe our intolerance to modern wheat products, comes not from the wheat, but from the huge amount of additives put into bread and other wheat baked goods. When reading an ingredient list it should take seconds not minutes. It should include words you can pronounce, not an entire list of scientific names, many of which are stabilizers and preservatives to make products more shelf stable.
I tend to agree with this
Thankyou!! Because all of a sudden half of the human population has a gluten allergy now a days when in reality its most likely the preservatives and junk they process it with.
Artisan breads are normally good.
Tend to agree.Personally know hundreds of families who eat wheat products made at home three times a day,in moderation, who have none of the diseases mentioned in this video. None of their patents suffers from these decease either.
I have been eating wheat all my life,with no issues.I am almost seventy, bench press 180 Lbs,leg press 410 Ibs.
I believe it’s the wheat that gives me the strength . Don’t eat much meat.
I'm a baker, have been for years both professionally and at home. I have used ALL different kinds of flour from home grown and self ground to H&R flour to supermarket brands. There is a HUGE difference in the quality and nutritional content of the various wheat products. HUGE.
Went keto 6 weeks ago to lose weight. I had no idea how good I would feel, I was ready to ask my doctor for a knee replacement then all pain disappeared. I lost 18 lbs and I keep dropping about 1 lb every 2 days. All I would say to people is give it a try. What have you got to lose
Well said
My son suffered from Asthma symptoms since 6mo. We were at the ER every other week, monthly visits to “asthma specialists” and of course no mention of gluten. Someone suggested I cut gluten from his diet for 3 months. I gave it a try and guess what? Not a single asthma crisis. Introduced gluten back and 3 days after a couple of innocent cookies and garlic bread he was wheezing. Tried that out a couple of times and every time he was wheezing after a couple of days. He is not celiac, but I am convinced the gluten causes his asthma symptoms to flare.
I haven’t taken my son to any “specialists” in 3 years. That “allergy specialist” made fun of me when I suggested I was going to cut gluten. Guess he is sad he is not seeing out money any longer.
My skin has cleared up without grains! I tend to have reddish rosacea-looking on my face and it has cleared up in two weeks, eating a largely Keto diet. I haven't had any grains for this period of time, and the flour I used was from almonds and coconuts. I think Dr. Davis in on the right track.
He was kind of the right track.... but not really. Singling out wheat as the main culprit was off the mark and kind of dogmatic. The latest science has found that it's actually carbs that's the culprit. And in that regard, corn, rice and potatoes are even worse than wheat in carb content and glycemic index. Also, not all vegetables are healthy. For example, beans, sweet potatoes, rutabaga, turnips and beets are to be avoided. At the very beginning of this documentary, Davis is having a meal without wheat but he's drinking red wine... Those of us who follow a Keto lifestyle know that alcohol is even worse than wheat.
What do you make with your flours?
@@Tuxedo2680 If that works for you, great! I'm one of those who can eat corn, rice, rutabagas, beets -- all of those high glycemic other foods -- and not gain weight or become unwell. Maybe there is such a thing as biochemical individuality, as Roger Williams posited back in the 1950s.

I have never heard of this book or this doctor. This is my experience: I suferred from arthritis for 9 years (could not stand fo more than 15mins) and 2 years back the 2nd DMARDs drugs did not work... I was desperate and decided to omit certain foods... I first started with milk, sugar...lastly wheat. For the last 2 years I have been arthritis free(I go for full day hikes!) because I went completely gluten free. Then I tested each food item and whenever I ate wheat, within 1 hr my joint starts to hurt, nose starts getting runny and my voice gets horse ( acid reflux). Who is better to knw my own body but myself? It worked for me and I feel great!
I experienced those exact same symptoms when ever I eat anything with a grain in it. I gave up all of them and now I take fire cider everyday and I have no aches or allergic reactions. I went totally Ketogenic Diet and I've never felt better in my life. So I agree, who knows your body better than you? No one.
I am happy for you. Happy that you discovered on your own what healed your awful arthritis. It could have been anything and you hit the jackpot I guess relatively fast? You are so lucky. Wheat or no wheat, we are all different in the inside, for one going gluten free is the answer, for another something else for the same problem. Maybe. We all have to take things into our own hands and not listen to these gurus and experiment on ourselves to see what works and what not. Bottom line.
I also never heard of either book or Dr, I stopped eating grains all grains as daily staple. Sinuses are clear now. Belly is almost gone. Had not been arthritic but joints do have pain after eating
His book has been totally discredited
@@tonyofarrell2775 what do you mean it was discredited? When and and by whom?
My aunt in Europe use to ask us to bring flour from Canada when ever we visited because she said it stretched better. We never understood this until my wife was diagnosed with celiac disease and we learned more about gluten. Then we started to have people who came to Canada saying they were having gut problems when they ate flour in Canada, but not back in their home countries. I hardly ever eat flour products because of my wife, but when I do I feel like I have less energy. I personally do not have to watch my diet and I have never read the hype or book. But I do feel the difference long before this guy ever existed.
I'm with you on that. I'm thin healthy and run around the oval. I left the dago diet behind over 15 years ago. I looked at the structure of starch. It's all glucose, all sugar. But bread, rice and pasta does not taste sweet. That's the deception. What's happening is the glucose peak. This was the myth. We don't get an energy lift after sugar intake. We actually get a low. I even fall asleep after coffee and toast. The toast is making me tired. Then hours later comes the energy and the massive hunger cravings. This is the cycle and the 'addiction' people claim they have. Along with the mood swings. I test this out occasionally. I may eat a bowl of pasta once every five years and sure enough, I'm half alive and then moody, stodgy bowel, followed by cravings.
Nothing in this report mentioned the glucose peak. This is the crux of everybody's suffering.
I haven't eaten wheat in over thirty years, I'm delighted to say I totally agree, wheat is dangerous.
The reality is that Monsanto chemicals and other treatments applied during grain culturing have been absorbed into those grains. You can assume that these chemicals make you sick, sooner or later. [Aussie in BC]
Not true.
@SKIP AD --Grain is not sprayed with glyphosate to stop germination in the silo.
wheat had to be altered thousands and thousands of times to resist round up, that same resistance to roundup makes me wonder if it also is much more resistant to our body digesting it properly.
Roundup is sprayed on wheat as a desiccant if rain is in the forecast to harvest it before the rain?

Did you go full on and ditch the rest of the high glycemic carbs,like potatoes too? Congrats on your progress,KUDOS!
Everyone who is serious about this should look at the evidence available and then draw their own conclusions. My friend recommended going off wheat so I tried it for four months. The drop in inflammation in my joints was dramatic, but it took that long. I wasn't even doing it for that reason, I was doing it because I wanted to lose weight. I don't know if it helped for the weight loss, but the sharp drop in joint inflammation was enough to make me swear off wheat forever. I personally don't give a rats banana what other people think about it, I did it for my own health and happiness.
My joints felt better after a few days. And my tinnitus is nearly gone!!
Dropping the wheat may be 1/2 of the cause of the positive effects. The other 1/2 may be caused by the substitution of higher quality foods.
By 'cutting out wheat', you also cut out a lot of processed foods, like breads, crackers, pastas, pastries etc which is where most of the health benefits might be coming from.
It might be true for many ppl, but not for those who actually have a problem with gluten so the question is how many ppl have a problem?

If you don't have celiac disease or any sort of gluten intolerance then it won't make a difference. As someone who studies dietetics you people need to realise that people with real gluten intolerance have their small intestine destroyed by an auto-immune response to gliadin (a part of the gluten protein). It's genetic and a doctor can test you to see if your body is producing these immune bodies in high numbers. People without the genetic mutation have absolutely no problem digesting gluten. Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain.
Anne Trieber c
FireProMMA-- Re: "...Gluten also has no effect on your cholesterol profile or weight gain..." Not in and of itself, but if she reduced her total carb intake as part of going "wheat free", that could help weight and cholesterol. Google "insulin resistance".

After decades of stomach issues just cutting out bread, corn, and sugar with intermittent fasting has fixed so much. Mainly getting away from round up, and prossesed foods. I still eat high quality pasta every once in awhile, with home grown vegetables and herbs. I'm getting ready to plant my own wheat, roundup free and fresh ground bread next year.

Besides removing animals from our life, removing glutein was the other biggest life changer. No this wasn't yesterday, last week, last month, or last year.

Its a bloody miracle. That stuff was literally poison.
Some farmers are spraying their wheat fields with roundup before they harvest. This dries it makes harvest easier and slightly improves yield. If you're going to eat it at least go for organic.
Less than 5% is treated and it is safe.
Organic farmers spray pesticides on their crops too.

Now if i eat anything made of wheat i have an instant response. I never heard of Wheat Belly, but Gluten free is not a choice its a requirement.
I felt so much better after going gluten free, within 2 days, my mind was clearer and brain fog was greatly reduced. My friends at work asked me what i did differently and that i should stick to it. I felt so embarassed because when i was still consuming wheat, i couldn't concentrate/focus and i felt inarticulate. I dont think there is enough scientific study. done to study the benefit of going gluten free, but at the end of the day i can feel the difference, mind/mental, physical energy and so on
would you tell me the alter of wheat?
The problem with most people is that they would rather believe what is said than to find out for themselves what the reality is . I have known for years that bread and milk eliminated from the diet as much as possible, creates a healthier and pain free life style . I know this because I have done this for years . Our bodies and it's maladies are the products of what we eat and drink .
I feel that wheat is not the only cause of health problems. It's also the sugar itself that's causing so many health problems that Dr. Davis talked about. That's just the beginning. Even the fruits and vegetables too are being tampered with. I feel it's sad that everything we eat that is supposed to be healthy is making us sick. It feels so frustrating that no matter how well I try to eat well, everything is tainted.
Tip there- start your own internal garden for salads , external -fruits & others with minimum pesticide sprays. While there view about companion planting.
You’ll not only eat healthier, you’ll feel a lot better AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO HAVE A GO & JOIN IN 🤔You can do it !!

As for this instance, why not just try quitting wheat for a while and seeing what happens? Then you can know for yourself -- no need to trust, believe and such.

This show was all about bashing this doctor. I personally reduced carbs out of my diet and lost weight and all my stomach issues went away. So, I do believe that the doctor is telling to truth.
So was it the carbs in general or were all of your carbs wheat? Your story is anecdotal, not proof. The show is not about bashing this doctor, its about people like you who never question anything. For all you know just the simple reduction in calories is what caused your weight loss. I myself am neither anti or pro wheat. I eat bread and pasta on occasion, but not as a daily thing to consume because I consider wheat to be what it is - a mostly inferior food product that has a very low nutrient/calorie ratio. It's basically one notch above pure table sugar in terms of nutrition, especially when you consider the amount of processing wheat goes through before it ends up on your plate. There's better and more nutritious stuff to eat than bread and pasta.
But if it is one notch above table sugar. Then by your own assessment it’s terrible.

@@Morella101 Thanks for sharing this. This gives me hope to try giving up wheat.
I completely cured my life-long affliction with dermatitis two weeks into a gluten-free diet. I know it is the wheat because I break out every time I unknowingly eat wheat that was hidden in the products. There are way too many stories like mine to make it coincidence. Perhaps it is glyphosates, but wheat is heavily sprayed with it before harvesting.
Or the antinutrient in wheat. Or both.
I haven't heard one word about glyphosate and roundup, and the law suit which was succeeded by showing that it is indeed carcinogenic, which is in gmo wheat!! I would think organic wheat would be ok, but i prefer not!
glyphosate can give you colitis for the rest of your life, in which case eating organic wheat won't help you. Once you get sensitized to gluten, you are screwed.
They are spraying glyphosate on all the wheat, whether it's gmo or not. That's why wheat is making everyone sick.
Lawsuits are not about proving science. They're about of lay people trying to interpret data that scientist can't agree on, in this case.The result is juries decide based on emotions not evidence.
You got it. Nothing mentioned about Monsanto or Roundup. think that's just an oversight on a 'wheat documentary" ????
@cobainzlady Most Non GM wheat itself (at maturity) is doused with glyphosate to DRY it quickly just before harvest. This saves the farmer several weeks natural drying time. So the labels reasuring people the packaged food is GMO free are giving consumers false confidence. It is not a different issue when wheat is increasingly causing "allergic" reactions.
my biggest reason to eat no Grains is the toxic poison sprayed on that wheat field.
Another good reason to avoid, but so much of our agriculture is sprayed and probably not the best for us. Eat as organic and local as you can. I do think Davis's claims are totally over board. Wheat because we have eaten too much of it, its been too much of our diet. Variety is important. People have become allergic to different wheat proteins in large numbers, so cutting back on it has helped many people. Don't worry about finding substitutes, simply eat other things.
Chemical trails
@@Maymet the thing that bothers me about this is that usually with allergens, allergies help to overcome them by introducing more and more of these allergens to the person (look up how allergy injections work). So they help people with allergies by exposing them to high quantities of those allergens titrated up over time but in this statement it is being hypothesized that the cause of the allergic reactions to this wheat is the overconsumption of the product?

It sounds like your disappointed because you expected the program to validate your opinions and when it didn't you decided to instead discredit their investigation based on baseless accusations and unfounded conspiracies. You feel personally attacked because this investigation did not confirm your life choice. This sort of close minded position that so easily shuts down opposition without consideration, but with slander, is childish, and quite frankly sad.
Try to be open minded and listen to any evidence put forth. Draw your own conclusions, but base them on the evidence and not on perceived conspiracies or simply because you do not like what you hear.
Am I saying your wrong, no. You may well be right. Am I saying you are opinionated and offer no evidence for your opinions, yes.

It's not about celebrities.. Understand that no medical professional has proper nutrition as a subject in their syllabus.. That's is why difficult to trust MOST of them.. Most of the health issue.. Dangerous health issue originates from metabolic syndrome.. And metabolic syndrome has everything to do with what we eat and the way body respond to it..
Don't forget, soaked in glyphosate. Most cereal tested has above ave glyphosate in it.
Your post is false. Glyphosate can not be used as a herbicide on cereal grain for they are not gmo technology crops. Can you name the crops that use gmo technology? Can you name the gmo technology crops that can NOT have glyphosate used on them? You sound clueless about this subject aerospot2.

In one week my husband became pain free. He stopped all Processed carbohydrates so that would include wheat.
So he did not give up weat. He gave up processed carbs. I bet he also lost weight.

I heard that wheat-free dog food is causing dogs to have heart problems. Vets are seeing dogs feed wheat/gluten free diets are brought in with heart ailments that hadn’t been seen before.
Yasmine Morantes I wonder if he could tolerate raw wheat berries soaked/sprouted and then blended in a smoothie. That’s how I consume wheat. I’m a raw food vegan.
all I can say is if you buy smart bread it will last for months without molding or changing in smell, now if bacteria will not grow on it that leaves a lot of room for thought

The enemy is SUGAR, which unfortunately a lot of wheat products have a lot of added sugar and sweetners. Check your labels espically your sugar content always
Sugar has so many other names you need to do a lot of homework to know all those names written on the labels
Sugar is no where as bad as wheat flour and corn meal, corn syrup.
Megan K-Exactly!!! People are using cause and effect thinking it’s wheat when it’s what’s added to the wheat, which is sugar in it myriad of forms that is problem.

If we'd waited for "definitive proof" that cigarettes were addictive, we couldn't make that claim until the 1980's. Consumers don't need definitive proof. If they want to know if they're addicted, they can just try to quit grains for one month. They can see for themselves whether or not they have overwhelming cravings, dizziness or moodiness, the shakes/jitters, and then a couple weeks later, whether or not they get better sleep, have more energy, etc.. Even if you're right, and not everyone is negatively impacted by wheat, there's no denying that a lot of people are glad they gave it up!
The problem isn't wheat but refined carbohydrates. It the equivalent of replacing cigars with cigarettes because they have a filter, but you're still consuming too much.
Cutting bread only helps if you don't replace it with other carbs. If you replace spaghetti with spaghetti squash, that's a huge savings in carbs and calories. That's what makes the difference. If you're simply consuming gluten free products, you're just switching to cigarettes.
Companies will just create GMO gluten free wheat. Its not going to fix the problem.
@@joemann7971Huh?? Im confused. Gluten, wheat, carbs. Same but different One can eat potatoes and still gain benefits from cutting out wheat. Maybe its the gluten, maybe its the wheat. Maybe its the additives and preservatives. Maybe its the gov subsidies that causes wheat to be included in Everything. Maybe its different for different people.
One doesnt need to be addicted to be adversely affected. I gave up gluten, had surprisingly beneficial results, but never had any adverse affects. No shakes or sweats or jitters or mood swings.
I don't know about that chemist's claim that wheat is not addictive. You put out a pan of warm cinnamon rolls and I just might punch a baby to get to those sweet pastry delights. Not to hurt or injure. Just to ensure it can't beat me to the pan.
Ha Ha you and my wife hell yes it's addictive.
It is sugar with the wheat that is addictive.

Lolololol
I haven’t read this book ever, but after watching this video I am convinced and concerned enough to try cutting wheat out of my diet and see what kind of an impact it has on me. I am already skinny so losing weight is not my goal but going wheat free is solely about getting better health and healing from diseases. If after 6 months I feel better in health then wheat-free lifestyle is something I like to continue.
Any updates?
Within the first days my mind cleared. I didn't even know it was foggy. Just that alone made me keep going.
Try cutting out wheat from your diet for a month or two and see if there are any benefits for you. There sure were for me. Then try adding it back and see if there are any negative consequences. There sure were for me.
I did that and I felt better when I ate it again. Organic whole wheat or sprouted wheat without preservatives or junk is healthy. Try eating Einkorn, it tastes even better
There is nothing wrong with wheat unless you have some allergy to it and that is probably the poison that they put on it. ALMIGHTY GOD put it on earth for people to enjoy.
I cut down to 0 wheat and any wheat products, and I have never felt better.

@@jalalern4714 But that essentially made it a low carb diet which is what the documentary pointed out. I'm willing to bet that if you used the same methodology as Dr. Davis you could get the same recommendation for _every_ food group, vegetables included. Water would be acceptable but in limited quantities.
I found this VERY interesting.. I'm from Australia, and knew nothing about all this Wheat hype...However, I have had a strange allergy now for quite a few years, and have recently found that the onset of my burning lumps came after eating bread... I ruled it out at first because I'd never heard of anyone being allergic to bread.. But after finally listening carefully to my body, I can't rule it out any more.. It's quite evident to me now that it IS BREAD!. Since cutting it out of my diet three months ago, I am now ALLERGY FREE!
Good for you , did you try to make your own bread and see if you have same side effects?
Good for you. If you can't trust anything u hear , but always trust your body

I have been addictive to wheat.the more I eat the more I want to eat. now I see why.Thankyou Dr. Davis.

Thank you to The Fifth Estate for presenting both sides in their reports. While there are certainly people who must avoid certain foods or components of food, that doesn't make Wheat a blanket enemy. Wheat is and has been a nutritional necessity for billions of people all over the world. Those in the 1st world countries are discovering themselves having health issues for many reasons, but mostly because of the nutrient deficient, over processed ingredients in our food. Bread as most of us know it is "white bread". It is made with flour that has been stripped of it's nutrition, fiber and almost all of the components that made natural whole grain flour healthy. Some say that it is healthy because the companies put back in some of the stuff that was removed. But they don't return all, and what they do put back in are synthetic because leaving them in or replacing with natural components would make it non shelf stable. Natural wheat flour bread made with whole grain wheat that is not heavily processed is healthy, but does spoil quickly. The natural flour itself is less shelf stable so it must be used more quickly than people will be able to buy it. The dangerous things added to the food items we are eating are sugar, bleach, synthetic chemicals, fillers, preservatives and in some cases, the pesticides used on the grain during the growing process. Eliminating all products from a diet that contain wheat, eliminates all those bad things but is Dr Davis looking at that? His shortsightedness eliminates a lot of healthy nutrition in order to cut out the items that are the real danger. Will people lose weight on a diet without wheat? Of course. Eliminating all foods that contain wheat means cutting out the over processed flour foods that so many are eating like white bread, pasta, cereals, crackers, bakery, cookies, gravies and sauces - all of which contain wheat, but also contain a host of fats, sugars, salt, chemicals and preservatives that are the real culprits.
Look at people who live in areas where pasta is eaten daily and often at every meal. Many live well into their 90s and even beyond 100. How? The pasta is made with hard Durham wheat and not adulterated with nearly as many chemicals as other countries. The wheat itself isn't the problem - it is what happens to the flour during the processing and what is added to the pasta dish after cooking. The rest of their diet consists of low protein (3-6 ounces per day) and a much higher amount of fresh vegetables and fruits than we typically eat at each meal. Dishes are more natural, served with only a drizzle of simple fats or vinegar and oil instead of heavy dressings.
Rice has also become a nutrient deficient item. Stripped of most of it's vitamins and fiber during processing to give us a fluffy, light item to carry a sauce or gravy for flavor. Brown rice is better, by keeping it's fiber and nutrition and it keeps us full longer - allowing our bodies time to process any sugars that are added by consuming fruits, vegetables and sauces that are added to the meal. This helps us avoid the glucose spikes that diabetics often experience.
As our species have explored the glove and discovered new and exciting foods - we want them. But many don't travel well in their natural state so they are harvested before they are ripe or are processed with chemicals to survive the travel. The real health culprits are in those things that our bodies were not designed to eat and the fact that industry has not found a way to keep foods in their natural, intact state long enough to get them from the farms to the table without spoiling. It is cheaper for them to strip the nutrition that allows food to spoil quickly and add in synthetic additives, salts, sugars and preservatives that our bodies can't process.
Funny how you claim that sugar (a 100% carbohydrate) is dangerous, but whole wheat which is also carbohydrate by 75% is nutritious, lol. No, it is not, it's poison by 75%, not to mention the gluten thing in addition.
@@leykimayri Sugar and highly processed foods containing little fiber or nutrition are dangerous. Ingesting large amounts of simple carbs will spike glucose levels very quickly for those who are diabetic. Whole grain Durham wheat does have carbohydrates but it also has protein and nutrients that slow it's being absorbed - allowing the body time to handle the more complex carb. As a diabetic, I have studied and experimented with many dishes containing carbs to manage my glucose levels without having to take insulin. It is a matter of moderation and balancing carb and protein intake.
Yes, wheat products do contain gluten and that is a problem for those with gluten intolerance.
A lot of wheat products also contain Roundup (Monsanto-Bayer). Toxic and IN the grain.
Your post is False.

@@fertilizerjunkie4410 That is correct Fertilizer Junkie. Wheat is not a gmo technology crop. There are many companies even foreign companies producing and selling Glyphosate(Roundup).

I agree too. I didn't see any war on wheat. If there are people who don't want to include wheat in their diet and that makes them feel good, then they should do it.There are so many different diets, some people don't eat pork, some people don't eat beef, some people don't eat meat at all, some people don't like spinach, other don't like mushrooms. Why the fuss? Is there something essential in the wheat that makes it necessary to consume it daily? Apart from the western diet, many cultures don't include wheat in their diet.

Godisknocking 777x7,
Quite a few years ago, I read some Research into Life Extension, (1970's), and the authors recommended systematic UNDER-EATING but, my Grandfather was taught as a Boy that he should always leave something on his plate, (depending on the Culture), and that he should leave the table a little hungry. I have always followed that advise from when I was a Lad.
Both sources were right on the Money for reasons that should be obvious to anyone
Studies have shown that calorie restriction in rats causes them to live something like 30% longer. The bible says "don't live to eat, eat to live." We all eat WAY too much food now a days and it's mostly junk.
@@GuacamoleyNacho - Obviously it is referring to regulating your body temperature. Warm feet, cool head.
Johnny B That’s exactly right. I go to bed a little hungry at night. And wheat is a staple in my diet, just not a lot. I’m almost 50 and take no prescriptions and weigh 123 lbs. People eat way too much and way more than we ever have in history.

It never occurred to me that wheat was addictive but I see it now, when you walk past a bakery and smell that freshly baked bread, even now it's almost irresistible. Sugar is easier to resist, you can't smell it.
not from expirience but i am prety sure that cocaine you cannot smell but it is addictive . your sentence doesn't make any sence .
@@familyrabinovsky2875 Well, that's because you're talking about cocaine. If you're addicted to something. Cigarettes, for instance, you don't have to be attracted to the smell of it.

Processed wheat, flour. When you drop those things from your diet and when you avoid all processed foods AND processed oils, you get positive results within a week or two. Couple your food choices with time restricted eating (going longer between meals, no snacks) and for sure you're gonna see improvements.

The problem with wheat in Canada since 1990 is: The use Roundup used to dry (desiccate) it at harvest.
This depletes it of magnesium and selenium( concentrated in wheat germ) etc.Ref: Use of Hovis bread since 1800's in England for sick male children (Likely mercury exposure from coal)

You don't even have to leave the comfort of TH-cam to see that you are in error about farmers not doing that. Just put "glyphosate wheat desiccation" in the search engine and see what you find.
Good for you that you didn't in your area. It's been the prevailing practice since the early 90s. and roughly 25-35% of wheat in the US is sprayed with Roundup days before harvest and in Canada, it's much higher than that.
It's not just wheat either. Dozens of crops are sprayed with glyphosate just before harvest.
Be well
Why are these experts and Dr.s so offended? If giving up wheat makes someone feel better, then that's great. Dr.s have no problem giving people medicine full of chemicals and dyes.
Cassi, Our good doctors are as uneducated as general public about chemical toxicity in our food supply or environment. Just read a modern medical manual of "Toxicology" from which our doctors are trained. Sad, sad to read that fluoride, aluminum and mercury was blanked out from the list of most toxic elements to our body. So, if the doctors don't clue in and they are not allowed by PROCEDURES to seek the cause of us being sick, then who will help us???

Going without wheat certainly cured my irritable bowel. My motto is do what works. Davis`plan works.
I had the same problem, and the test results showed that I have no Gluten allergy. So the doctor called it Chron's disease and prescribed dangerous drugs such as IMURAN and steroids. I decided to go Gluten and lactose free. After 1 year the doctor was shocked that the colonoscopy showed that all the polyps disappeared and no redness and inflammation. Now 10yrs passed and I fell great, I dont need Gluten or lactose to enjoy eating..
Vannessa, Have you ever heard of the placebo effect. Pick any goofy diet you choose, Get on It... and you will feel better right away due to the placebo effect.

Yes, my daughters both had IBS or Chron's type issues until they changed their diets. Both separately traveled Europe and each noticed that they did not have the digestive system distress while eating there: breads, pastas, etc. didn't affect them like they did in America. Subsequently they went gluten free and/or more plant-based organic diets and their health improved! (Anecdotal, but definitely signals that there is something wrong with the American grains comparatively.)

It seems like this video wants to paint people who don’t eat the wheat as wackos. They keep avoiding the fact that our wheat is genetically modified THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.
Burton wallace Genetic modification feeds the billions. This is a case of where the positives outweigh the negatives. The precautionary principle has no place in the production of food. Mankind has become so afraid of everything. It has moved from the ridiculous to the sublime. Everything in moderation is the key to a healthy life. Every one of the anti-wheat advocates in this video are profiting from there rhetoric. Gluten free is required for celiacs but not for non-celiacs. Those of us who struggle to get by every single day eat wheat because it’s cheap. That’s where our motivation lies. If I could eat something else, I probably would, but I would still consume wheat based products. The “precautionary principle” is going to destroy our species. How about we all practice a little common sense instead of being so damn gullible. It’s rigoddamndiculous!

Changed my diet to GF before reading Davis’ book but I agree (and experienced) with much of what he wrote. Not for everyone but there’s so much out there that makes us sick. Wheat, milk, sugar, fried foods, red meat... all inflammation inducers. Sugar I would say is the worst culprit. Worse than gluten (except for celiacs of course). Wheat is cheap, manufactured sugar is even cheaper and both permeate much of what’s in the grocery store. We eat like crap in the US... corporations, mainstream doctors, and the government has made it hard to know how not to 😕 Educate yourself, know your choices, and most importantly listen to your body!
