Wheat and Type I Diabetes Link

Another potent post from William Davis, and a frightening one.  The statistical increase in Type I diabetes is a nasty, nasty trend, and it makes the disease look more and more like a combination of genetic vulnerability which is actualized through an auto-immune response.


Proving the point is tough: Would you enroll your newborn in a study of wheat-containing diet versus no wheat, then watch for 10 years to see which group develops more type 1 diabetes? It is a doable study, just a logistical nightmare. Perhaps the point will be settled as more and more people catch onto the fact that modern wheat--or this thing we are being sold called "wheat"--is a corrupt and destructive "foodstuff" and eliminate it from their lives and the lives of their young children from birth onwards. Then a comparison of wheat-consuming versus non-wheat-consuming populations could be made. But it will be many years before this crucial question is settled.
