More like a Celtic/northern European issue. Wheat used to be like long grass until the stock was shortened and thickened and the grain at the top was turned into a bowl like plant for shorter growing time and a more abundant harvest. We are the human testing guinea pigs and have been since the late 1960s. Try going off Of wheat for a month and see whlat happens...we need fibre but not GM wheat in our daily meals.

A friend who was diagnosed with celiac disease , was told by his Dr. "Oh you have the Irish disease." Seems the Irish and those that are Irish descent don't digest wheat to well. I remember Bill said once that he has a bad stomach just like his Father etc. then he said "It's an Irish thing" Well the Men in my family all had stomach problems. Who knew?

A person with an argument is at a loss to a person with an experience. I have lost more than 5lbs and 3 inches from my waist in less than 4 weeks by just eliminating genetically modified (almost all of it is and has been since the 1960s) wheat fro my menu. My joint pain has disappeared, my belly has reduced significantly and I have more energy...I am 56 years old and about 7/8s Irish ancestry. Get the facts like Bill did before judging....the author is an experienced cardiologist who knows he is going ...uh..against the grain...learn and benefit!

This puts me in the embarrassing position of agreeing with Bill O'Reilly. My wife and I have taken wheat out of our diet for the last two years and never felt better. Being on the paleo diet we've also cut back considerably on rice and potatoes.
