Here is my very unscientific opinion:
It's not the wheat! It's all the other crap in processed food where wheat may be the dominant ingredient.

For instance: Frozen pizza or frozen spaghetti dinner. Is it the wheat or all the other questionable ingredients?

Of course you would feel better when you start eating “real” food. Think of all the processed food you can't eat when you are “wheat free.”

Give us this day our daily bread. Personally, I make my own and it is to die for!!!!

i make my own bread too ~ from white corn. Drop a little bit of crushed red pepper in it and the stuff tastes like bread.

Doesn't hold together as well as wheat but it tastes right.

BTW, I take a white corn tortilla and put pizza toppings on it and it tastes like pizza and i suffer no ill effects. it's the bread; not the topping!

I only use organic flour and make my own bread, usually about 3/4 whole wheat and 1/4 white, or thereabouts, and often toss in some barley flour.

My hub is skinny and muscular and if he doesn’t eat a lot of bread the weight drops off daily.

I agree. It’s the quality of the wheat that counts. Would the kind of wheat that was grown before they “messed” with it in the 1960s/70s be healthier? Maybe. But so would milk and plenty of other foods that are now GMO or otherwise tinkered with. We can’t eat “nothing”. And if people think meat is better; well the animals have been eating all those “poison” grains, much of it GMO soy and corn. Plus tons of hormones and antibiotics.

The best way to eat, generally speaking, is to eat home cooked food with simple ingredients and avoid preservatives, artificial colors, flavors and so on. Take more time (so I’ve heard, I never buy pre-made food) but it’s cheaper and healthier. And tastes much better.
