While a bit of a short piece, I'm so glad to see exposure in mainstream media.
I LOVE the title

"Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says"

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505269_162-57505149/modern-wheat-a-perfect-chronic-poison-doctor-says/?tag=stack

My only objection to the story is, while wheat is bad, so is sugar and omega 6 oils etc.
This short story makes it sound like wheat is our only problem, but I know he gets into single ingredient food shopping which is good.
I truly hope he sells a few books.

    I loved this line:

    "All that literature says is to replace something bad, white enriched products with something less bad, whole grains, and there's an apparent health benefit - 'Let's eat a whole bunch of less bad things.' So I take...unfiltered cigarettes and replace with Salem filtered cigarettes, you should smoke the Salems. That's the logic of nutrition, it's a deeply flawed logic."

    Thanks for the link. I read about gliadins in the MDA post today. Must be the new buzz. Damned you, GLIADINS!!! How dare you permeate my gut!
