Dangers of wheat

Health · asked by user [] · 2007-08-21 · 5 answers
I heard that according to ayur veda wheat is as bad as white sugar for health. I would like to know your experience on this.
I can find quotes saying it is bad and all that but what is YOUR experience and what do YOU do.

No wheat no halava right?

We have here in Slovakia one great homeopatic "devotee" doctor. He told, mainly white flour is unhealty, bad for digestion (because of gluten) and also supports creating musts in the body (on the skin..etc).

I think problem comes from extracting the wheat germ and on top taking it almost uncooked.

We have here at the Canary Islands what is called "gofio".
It is baked whole wheat grain, then mashed to powder. Very popular and I think, healthy.
