“Quick: Name a common food, consumed every day by most people, that: Increases overall calorie consumption by 400 calories per day; Affects the human brain in much the same way as morphine; Has a greater impact on blood sugar levels than a candy bar; Is consumed at the rate of 133 pounds per person per year; Has been associated with increased Type 1 Diabetes; Increases both insulin resistance and leptin resistance, conditions that lead to obesity; Is the only common food with its own mortality rate. If you guessed sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, you’re on the right track, but, no, that’s not the correct answer. The true culprit: Triticum aestivum, or modern wheat.”
