This just nuts. If it wasn't for wheat and other grains two thirds of the world would starve.
If you want to know what we were NOT designed to eat it's MEAT.
The human species evolved from tree dwelling apes that subsisted mostly on fruits and nuts. A true carnivore like say a cat, is designed to eat meat. It has the teeth, claws, and a digestive tract designed to processes meat. Animals like cats have a short bowel system. The meat they ingest is quickly processed for it's nutritional content, and the residual matter is quickly passed.
Humans on the other hand are natural vegetarians. When we eat meat it moves sluggishly through the bowl. It is retained so long in the bowel it putrefies, in effect it rots inside of us and releases toxins that poisons our system. Our immune system works overtime to hold down toxic infections while the sluggish mass of rot impacts the bowls. Heavy meat eaters are constantly constipated and don't even know it. They think a bowl movement every four or five days is normal. Colon cancer is the result of eating meat period.
If you are concerned about genetically modified grains (and you should be as Monsanto continues to poison us) then you better be concerned about the antibiotics, growth hormones, and processing bacteria that goes into meat. Remember, the minute an animal is killed it begins to decompose (rot). God only knows what kind of chemical brew the meat processors add to this rotting carrion in the form of preservatives to make it colorful and not stink.
If you want to be healthy, don't make your body a grave, and don't fall for 'fad' diets that do nothing but make a fast buck for the authors of such junk science. I see you are still buying into the government/mega-business brainwashing about "healthy whole grains." Do a little research and you'll find out pretty quickly that we ARE genetically optimized for meat and green leafy stuff, not crops (meaning grains).
Colon cancer didn't show up until maybe 9,000 years ago when we started learning about agriculture. IOW, when we were hunter-gatherers eating mostly meat and green leafy stuff, colon cancer was non-existent, as was diabetes, atherosclerosis, arthritis, etc. When we started eating wheat, these problems appeared, and for a few millenia, the average life span shortened.
You are totally wrong about how the body handles meat. When the digestive systems are not "wounded" by having to handle wheat, meat is very much what we need, and is easily, and nearly totally digested. Very little "residue" and the veggies provide the fiber to keep things tidied up. When I would prepare to fly an F-4 from Georgia to Denmark (requiring 12-14 hours away from a toilet) I'd eat only chicken, fish, eggs, and cheese for a couple of days before hand. It would ALL be digested (no residue), and I would have no worries for what we would refer to as a "physiological incident" at 35,000 feet. When we got to Denmark, I'd go back to normal eating, and the next day, normal pooping. It wasn't constipation, it was no residue -- it was ALL being digested.
The point you make about the world starving were it not for wheat is exactly right, and it is one of the reasons wheat is so harmful. Yes, it provides lots of "food" but the harm it does is a tragedy for two reasons: 1. To get wheat to be so ubiquitous, the scientists had to morph it into something that is way more damaging than its natural state of 10,000 years ago. It has changed so much it can't grow on its own -- it needs specific care (chemicals, water on schedule, etc.) for it to grow at all. 2. The billions of people eating this toxic matter don't mind at all because it sure feels better than going hungry. Want to win a Nobel prize?,... find some way to make a few types of nutritious vegetables as easy to produce as wheat. Think about how much healthier the world would be if the billions eating toxic wheat would switch to veggies!!
Although I agree with you, this statement proves you have not researched the issue, "If you want to be healthy, don't make your body a grave, and don't fall for 'fad' diets that do nothing but make a fast buck for the authors of such junk science." You are a hype buyer. 1. The first 12 words I agree with. Stop eating wheat and you will keep your body out of the grave for many years longer. 2. The rest of the statement I agree with too, but not because of what you believe. You are wrong about wheat. Yes, there are some crazy fad diets out there (cabbage soup, full moon, eskimo, suzanne somers, etc.) and yes, they probably do make a fast buck. However, had you actually studied this issue a bit, you'd not apply this accusation to the wheat tragedy inflicted on all of us for so many decades.
You are not stupid. Why do you not question the hype? Why don't you research this stuff a bit? When you begin to sort out which studies/research are valid vs studies done by folks with an agenda, you'll see an ugly picture developing.
Maybe you'll even try the wheat-free thing for, say, a month, just to do your own research and prove us wrong!!!
It's been about a month for me, now. My skepticism has nearly evaporated. I know I am a pretty small-sized data sample (1), but this study (me) shows several of the benefits associated with freedom from wheat are real.
