I don't recommend consuming wheat. But, let's talk about the important differences between consuming wheat from America vs. wheat from Europe.
When people consume wheat products in America, they often experience bloating, acne, inflammation, and lethargy. But you don't see much of that from European wheat products. Why?
American wheat:
• 60% of the wheat is red wheat (it's soft, fluffy, has a longer shelf life, and is higher in carbohydrates and protein)
• It has more gluten (gluten causes a lot of problems in the gut)
• Glyphosate is used (it affects the human microbiome)
• Refined grain products are fortified with synthetic vitamins and iron (the type of iron used sits in the gut and can generate pathogenic bacteria)
European wheat:
• It is mostly white wheat
• It has less gluten
• GMO foods and glyphosate are banned in many European countries
• European countries like France, Denmark, and Sweden don't fortify their grain products

Ever since I’ve moved back to the States from Europe, I’ve started having health issues and had to completely give up any gluten products. When I was living in Europe I was ok eating any gluten products with no issues ever. American food is also banned in most European countries!!! If that doesn’t tell you something I don’t know what does.

Bingo! I owned a bakery and I had several customers ask me if I could make gluten free bread because they were gluten intolerant. I would ask them to try my bread and I actually gave them a small loaf. No one....no one had a gluten reaction and they were shocked. It's about the wheat. Is it true 100% of time? Maybe not, but my little bakery test proved a lot to me

Please be advised it is NOT the gluten - it is the IRON. Much of iron is a poison and the type of iron placed in our foods (in most cases) is poison (iron filings collect and rust in the intestines which creates holes and allows leakage into the bloodstream). The gluten would never be a problem for most of these people if they did not have the underlying problem of holes in the intestines. Please research the following immediately - - Dr. Thomas Levy about Iron and the dangers of reduced iron watch?v=Y9SbPqO_Ay4 - (bonus research) Linus Pauling's Papers and Legacy Remember that if you make your food healthy, it adds value and people will always remember you. Good luck.

Also, in France at least, it is against the law for wheat to be bromated, which was begun, as I recall, in the very early 1900’s in the U.S. and has been connected to gut issues and the rise then of cancer. Also in France, also by law, they must leave the wheat for three days before packing up and using, to, I do not recall why, but in some way lessen or eliminate what otherwise would be a health threat. I learned this a few years ago but darn, I don’t recall the source now, I’m sorry - so to be verified. In the U.S., grains and rice are sprayed with glyphosate to dry them faster, even some organic grains. Best to shop the small farmers you discover refuse to do that.

YUCK! BUT, that type of diet was pushed all the time. And , wheat things were sold everywhere. But, when I ate wheat products my belly ached SO BAD, I could hardly stand it. This has been since I was a child, and it still is LIKE that. I have to limit my wheat intake BECAUSE it hurts so much, and gives me terrible bloating and gas bubbles. Yikes. Good video, and it's good to hear you say you don't recommend eating wheat products....thank you.

This was interesting Dr. Berg. This, in part, goes a long way in explaining why the French can enjoy their baguettes and croissants and not have the obesity rates of the United States. It should also be noted that the French, until fairly recently, use butter and other whole fats in their pastries, which don't disrupt mitochondrial function the away linoleic laden seed oils do. These seed oils that are nearly ubiquitous in the United states - corn, canola, soy, cotton seed, etc - all contain this obesogenic linoleic acid. For more information on linoleic polyunsaturated fats, and how they may a major culprit in insulin resistance, I highly recommend looking into the presentations and podcasts featuring Dr. Chris Knobbe, Dr. Cate Shannahan, Dr. Paul Saladino, and Tucker Goodrich.

Try the grains in asia (including wheat). No symptoms. On the other hand people that have "gluten intolerance" seem to experience the same symptoms with grains such as oats which dont have gluten and dont experience any symptoms when consuming pure gluten (wheat protein meat substitute)! If you have gluten intolerance try it. So I think the gluten intolerance thing is actually a cover up for something in american grains that people have developed an allergy to. Its gives people with symptoms a reason to avoid certain foods while letting the companies get away with it.

I have bought the original hard red winter wheat grown from seeds before the hybridization of it with a wild grass. The grains are much smaller and have a lot less gluten and starch. It has much to do with the introduction of a different form of gluten and a change to the composition of the whole grain complex due to selective breeding (GMO by breeding) in the 60's. When I grind it, there is much more bran and germ than the modern variety of semi-dwarf hard red winter wheat bred for industrial farming in the great plains and the Russian steeps. Flour ground fresh and fermented using yeast yields a fine heavy loaf lower in carbs, with digestible protein and high in fiber. The thing is, it's really hard to acquire the ancient varieties of wheat, red or white, that haven't been sprayed with glyphosate as a drying agent on the grain itself. Most modern grain products from the US, including barley, are all tainted with the crap. That means beer too folks. The alky is bad enough for you.

I have lived in Europe for over twenty years, now live full time in the USA. The biggest transition I witnessed was dairy. When stores in North America were stocked full of lactaid milk, Europe didn’t know what it was. Why? People were getting milk delivered by their local farmer, not going to a multinational food chain buying it in plastic and ultra processed. Now Europe is the same, with lactose free milks on the shelves. I could drink milk back then with no problem, return to Canada and within two weeks the digestion problems returned. Wheat in many parts of Europe still have a lot of wheat germ, and are not as highly processed as the USA. Pesticides ect. are also used less or certain ones illegal. Yet again, that is changing now. All in all, food in Britain is far healthier than the USA. When I first tried chicken in the USA from a supermarket I said to my wife, I can’t eat this, it’s wrong, it’s not chicken. Local farmers always, from fresh deep coloured eggs to fresh meat, you can’t go wrong.

In The Netherlands it has to be specified on the lable when there are GMO ingredients used in food, so you can avoid them easily. If I want to be even more sure I'm eating healthy, I just buy organic, but for foods produced in The Netherlands that isn't actually nessesary. We already use way less chemicals and pesticides, most of the times even none at all. These laws even count for pet food. :)

I live in the US and have celiac disease. I went to Iceland a couple years ago and because of lack of breakfast options a had a large piece of fresh bread with toppings. I did not have the gluten reaction I normally do. I was not sure if because I had not had gluten in so long if maybe my body could just handle one piece of bread or if the bread was really safe for people with celiac. Apparently Iceland ships wheat to countries such as Sweden and Germany.

Moreover, I didn't gain weight and notably, I was also drinking a bit of beer and wine. Perhaps not the healthiest lifestyle but I can attest that the bread in particular is 100% better in Europe. I avoid all refined grains here in the US.

On top of all this, or maybe because of all of this...

In The Netherlands most of us tend to eat bread for breakfast and for lunch, with a warm dinner. But some people love bread so much, they also even eat it for dinner sometimes. :D For people with gluten allergies you can also buy different kinds of gluten-free bread etc. at almost every store.
