  • well I'm not 100% sure of the technical aspect of wheat vs. gluten, i just know that wheat is bad and makes you fat. If you research a book called wheat belly, it's interesting the people that completely eliminated wheat from their diet and all the positive results from it including weight loss across the board!

    • Yeah yeah yeah heard it all before: do you think all these people selling books aren't in it for the money? Are all the people in the book the subject of a long term scientifically based research project covering a lot of people or is all this just unverified anecdotal "evidence" from a small number of people, complete with lots of words in capital letters and lots of exclamation marks?

      I don't believe ANY food is "bad", especially not a natural one like wheat which has been eaten by humans for tens of thousands of years. OK I know it's not naturally produced these days, but it's not that long since it was grown organically as a matter of course.

      I know lots of people who eat lots of wheat products and aren't fat and vice versa: you're just being fooled by the latest dietary craze.

      • I'm sorry but the book is not a fabricated conspiracy to make money. The wheat plant had been mutated a few hundred years ago at some point and bread this way. Before you run off half cocked assuming everything I say is a lie, you ought to have an open mind about it and you ought to look at the data.

        • I wasn't suggesting you were lying, only probably misled. When exactly was "at some point a few hundred years ago" and what's your evidence for this statement? You're the one making the assertions, it't up to you to give references to the data, not up to me or anyone else to go looking for it, and by data I mean peer reviewed scientific research.

          "Bread" instead of bred is pretty funny, was it intentional?

          Why so touchy about my genuine questioning of your statements and reasonable request for actual evidence?

          • I'm very sorry for my typo, ok? Now you're just being snarky, rude and condescending. You really ought to be neutral before you have familiarity with the data. If you're going to be such a nazi bitch about it you ought to know you're right before you talk out your ass about something you have never even looked at.

            • Oh for goodness sake, calm down, I was teasing you about the typo, I said I found it funny and I wasn't being condescending or snarky or rude, merely friendly.

              Calling me a nazi bitch is a bit of an over-reaction, don't you think? I am a bitch sometimes, but wasn't to you, and I'm actually an Anarchist, the total opposite end of the spectrum to any form of fascism.

              Talk about lowering the level of debate to personal abuse, rather than actually producing evidence for your assertions
