Why Modern Wheat is a Problem

1. Amylopectin-A: The Insulin Spiker
   Modern wheat contains a starch called amylopectin-A, which rapidly spikes blood sugar levels. Frequent consumption can lead to insulin resistance—a major driver of diabetes and obesity.
   🔬 Fact: Studies show that amylopectin-A increases insulin levels more than table sugar!

2. Gluten Sensitivity & Inflammation
   Gluten, a protein found in wheat, can cause inflammation in sensitive individuals. Even those without celiac disease may experience symptoms like bloating, fatigue, joint pain, or brain fog due to non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
   ⚠️ Warning: Undiagnosed gluten sensitivity has been linked to a 4x higher risk of death due to associated complications.

3. Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA): The Gut Disruptor
   WGA is a lectin found in wheat that can damage the gut lining, leading to "leaky gut syndrome." This allows toxins and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream, triggering autoimmune diseases.

4. Pesticides & Glyphosate
   Wheat crops are often sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup) before harvest. Glyphosate disrupts gut bacteria and inhibits detoxification enzymes in the body.
   💡 Insight: A healthy gut is essential for overall health—glyphosate exposure increases the risk of chronic diseases.

5. Nutrient Depletion
   Over-processing strips wheat of its nutrients, leaving behind empty calories that contribute to weight gain without providing essential vitamins or minerals.
