Is "Whole Wheat" really good for your body?

I was impressed with Mike Geary's latest reasearch about "Whole Wheats". He writes in great detail about various aspects of Whole Wheat". I was really surprised to see these facts and I am sure you will be equally surprised.

Wheat is one of the biggest sources of calories in the average person's diet (along with corn and soy, which are equally bad).

Breakfast

Most people eat wheat at every meal...bagels, muffins, or cereal at breakfast... a sandwich at lunch... crackers, pretzels, and other wheat-based snacks all day long... bread on the side at dinner... and maybe even some cake or brownies for dessert.  Yes, a day in the life of the average consumer makes most of us look like "wheat-a-holics".


As per Mike Geary's research, he sees grains on a scale like this:

* oatmeal and rice -- Not the most ideal food, but not so terrible (only if you're VERY active)
* wheat and corn  -- Not much healthy about these at all  (regardless of your activity level)

Mike Geary also talks about Dr. William Davis's book "Wheat Belly" and sums up the following points.


1.  The wheat we eat today is very different biochemically than the wheat even just 50 years ago.


2.  Wheat has addictive properties similar to opiate drugs.


3.  Wheat makes you consume more calories.

4.  Wheat raises your blood sugar even more than table sugar.


5.  Excessive wheat consumption leads to visceral fat in the abdomen.


6.  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Acid Reflux may be linked to wheat consumption.


7.  Wheat consumption leads to accelerated aging.


8.  Too much wheat in the diet can cause ACNE problems.


9.  Wheat consumption contributes to heart disease risk.

10.  Eating wheat adds a large acid burden that your body must deal with.


11.  A link exists between wheat consumption and joint degeneration, including arthritis.

These are only a few tips from Mike Geary. If you really want to have healthy life style and need to know more about body fitness myths, you must go through his ebook "Truth About 6 packs Abs".
