Savage-rob, it sounds like you are more than half-way there. I'd really like to know your reaction to the book.
You already have an appreciation for most of the basics. Once you actually learn the fundamentals about the unhealthiness of wheat (and grains in general), I'd expect someone like you that actually analyzes these things to be quite impressed, rather than just going with baseless beliefs like bill does.
Even if you don't read the book, if you were to be WFGFSF for 30 days, you would surprise yourself. I have not seen it fail yet. -- Anyone who gives it a valid try always comes away impressed. -- The several I know of that say it did not work, say things like, "oh, yeah, I did that wheat belly thing, but, hey man, I just can't live without sugar." or,... "Sure I'll cut out wheat, but I'll get all the grains I need from oats, corn, rice, etc." You can just dismiss these situations as being not at all applicable to what is in the book.
The book itself is quite different than what you would expect. I thought it was just another fad diet book. -- I read it the first time with that mindset. -- Afterwards, though, I started mulling it over. "Hey wait a minute!. There might be something here, but I better validate all this." -- I spent several evenings laboriously checking the references in the back, of which there are hundreds. -- In a previous life I learned that often these references were either simply made up, or, if real, they didn't at all support the author's point. -- After verifying the first 40 or so, I stopped,.. figuring that it was a waste of time to keep validating valid references. -- This guy, Dr. William Davis, did his homework and he corroborates it all with the thousands of lives he has saved as a preventive cardiologist. Apparently his motivation is to get the word out and correct the criminal situation the govt is foisting on us ("healthy whole grains").
My own personal experience backs all this up. -- Try to imagine what it is like for me to be free of the intense headaches (several per week) I had for decades before this. No more headaches. It's so relaxing! I don't have to put up with constant side effects from hogging down aspirin all the time (tinnitus, easy bruising, slow healing, etc.) -- Think about how it is such a pleasure (and a huge safety factor when motorcycling or gyrocoptering) to be able to twist my head around to look at things over my shoulder. -- My neck used to make the sound of a turkey leg being ripped off a turkey on T-day -- Now I can simply turn my head way to the left or right easily because the chronic joint swelling and inflammation is GONE!!
These are just a couple of the ways my life has changed. Here is a compilation:
