I attended a webinar recently presented by Denise SanFilippo, a Gluten-Free Chef & Industry Consultant who supports the SHAPE organization. (Supporting Health as Partners in Education). During the call someone suggested that Wheat Belly was a great book. I mentioned that I have what I like to call a “Cliff Note” version of the book and wanted to share with my subscribers.
A local professor in town Dr. William Davis had one of his students write a review of the book. This 2 page overview really gives the hightlights of the book and how wheat has been found to be a culprit in many of the health issues that we face as a society today. If you haven’t already heard the details, you will be surprised to find that the wheat grown in our country is NOT the same wheat that our grandparents were fed.
The book gives loads of examples and stories of people who have come forth and said that their ailments were cured after removing wheat from their diets. People with diabetes, MS, neurological issues, heart disease, acne, and many others. If you need to see more facts for yourself, I suggest reading the entire book, but if you are just intrigued by learning a bit more about the buzz around this book check out this book review. If you are seriously thinking about reducing or eliminating wheat from you diet, and are looking for some additional advice or support, feel free to reach out. I have been focusing on reducing and eliminating wheat from my diet for the past couple of years.
