Fri, 11 Sep 2015 15:56:08 CDT
Wheat has been successfully feeding civilizations for over 10,000 years and has the nickname "Staff of Life". That is a name that no other crop in the world holds, so why is wheat being
called a villain now? It is packed full of important vitamins, nutrients and fiber and is made into delicious products. Are the so-called experts really telling the truth about wheat or is their goal to gain attention and money while hurting their followers in health and nutrition with Fad diets that will be refuted a few years later.
