For decades, health advocates and nutritionists have urged people to add more whole grains to their diets for improved health. Unfortunately, it was bad advice.
While health-conscious Americans have avoided white bread like the plague, they didn’t realize that whole-wheat bread was just as bad for them, increasing their blood glucose levels more than pure sugar.
Plus, wheat could actually be the hidden culprit behind chronic weight problems, high cholesterol, digestion issues, even arthritis and other health concerns.
In the New York Times best-selling book Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health, author and famed cardiologist William Davis, M.D., details why wheat is the leading cause of obesity in America.

Dr. Davis says wheat has been genetically manipulated to get people to eat more of it.
“Wheat has been changed,” Dr. Davis says. “So the wheat we’re sold today is not the stuff mom or grandma had… It has odd things about it that no one tells you about, like appetite stimulation.”
Dr. Davis argues that for many, the gluten in wheat simply does not react well with the body.
In fact, Dr. Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to our nationwide obesity epidemic.
Furthermore, drawing on his decades of clinical studies and extensive gluten-free diet research, Dr. Davis observed that wheat can cause a broad spectrum of health problems including cancer, diabetes, heart issues, dementia, digestive complications, aging, acne, and even wrinkles.
Dr. Davis came to his conclusions about gluten’s dangers, and the revelation that a gluten-free diet was the answer, after working with heart patients for many years.
Through his research he found that once his patients eliminated wheat from their diets, they enjoyed weight loss of 20, 30, even 50 pounds in just the first few months.
He also observed other health benefits, including improvement in total cholesterol, recovery from intestinal woes, relief of skin conditions, suspension of hair loss, less arthritic pain, increased bone density, and enhanced brain activity.
