Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi - Have you looked into the types of wheat our culture has been eating? I.e. how long ago did they start refining wheat and then refining the refining process? And what about genetically modified wheat? In other words, is the wheat we eat today the same as the wheat we ate 50 or 100 years ago? I haven't done the research but that is a common argument people make when discouraging wheat consumption. It might be another direction you can take to get to your answer. The other thought that comes to mind is Sally O'Fannon and Enig and the Nourishing Traditions Cookbook. Their info. is usually fairly well documented so you might be able to track some of their sources down. You probably have considered their work already but I thought I'd put it out there just in case. Kathy Sweeney, N.D.
