Also the clinical trials dealing with wheat and health issues in those who are not celiac or gluten intolerant would be interesting
Thank you
Check out Dr. Mercola. He's always a great place to start.
Link the studies please
It's your contention, your burden of proof
lol, my burden of proof? I did not realize this was a court case. I think you guys take message boards waaaay too seriously. Thank you for reminding me of my life behind a computer screen before I got off my rear and into shape.
That's how the world works. You make a claim, you have to be able to provide support for it.

Some people think that claims should be backed by some sort of evidence. Whether the claim is made on a computer is irrelevant. Do you think online statements should have a lower standard for accuracy than statements made in other ways?0 -

I'm going to assume you don't have anything to support your claim at this point,
This isn't the world sweetie. This is a message board.

..... on Canadian Western Red Spring Wheat.The comments are directed at me, even though I was not quoted. The article was about a study done by independent sources, not by the Canadian Wheat council.
http://cerealchemistry.aaccnet.org/doi/abs/10.1094/CCHEM-02-15-0029-R
Most of the grain that you consume is not from this variety.
Example: Most pasta products are produced from Durham Wheat.
A totally different species which goes back to "all wheat is not created equal."
What is the difference between that wheat and durham wheat and how will it impact how my body processes it?0 -

Oh so you do understand
If you post a weight loss theory on MFP it is helpful if you are able and willing to support your claim
Otherwise it's just more media based dieting industry woo that will just keep people on the merry go round of loss and gain and that's all we are trying to counteract

I'm not checking any more notifications. Go ahead and believe conventional everything, dismiss everything else. If you want to believe there's no studies because I refuse to waste my time citing studies that you can pick apart and dismiss then so be it! They exist and a little bit of research would prove that to you. I used to believe that organic, whole wheat bread was a superfood!! After tons of personal experience and research I changed my mind. And It's not even 100% changed! New information and/or experience could change my mind again! I am open to everything and attached to nothing. I'm not a mindless fool who will accept anything that the mainstream feeds me. And I am proud of that. Like I said, I refuse to check any more notifications. You guys just want to argue. If you truly wanted to learn you'd log off of here and LEARN!!-1

If you change your mind and become willing to share the studies that convinced you, I'd still love to see them.0 -
Now you are asking the right questions.janejellyroll wrote: »What is the difference between that wheat and durham wheat and how will it impact how my body processes it?
The only way you are going to know for sure is to eliminate wheat from your diet for a period of time and then reintroduce it for comparison purposes. Don't expect the processor to get down to the plant species in their product when the law says labeling it as "wheat" satisfies the requirement.
It is regarded as a oxidant (inflammatory). That does not mean that your body will react that way but it's a great source of instant glucose.0 -

The only way to determine the differences between wheat strains is to do individual experiments? But how would this even work when I don't know the species that I am eliminating and reintroducing?
Is there any evidence, other than individuals reporting on their self-experimentations, that our body processes different strains differently?0 -

Why should I go through the trouble of looking for these studies you claim exist and run the risk of finding the wrong ones or none at all? That would turn out to be a huge waste of MY time, and it is also not my responsibility to prove your claims for you. If you truly wanted to educate, you'd pony up the links.0 -
As someone forced to cut out a large portion of foods that I used to eat regularly due to an allergy, I am holding onto my carbs until someone rips them from my cold, dead, carb-lovin' hands.
Unless you have an allergy or intolerance it just seems silly to cut all of any type of food from your diet.0 -

Which is interesting, since whole-grain products are considered an antioxidant food source.0 -

So you waste just as much time arguing that you can't be bothered to share the studies that changed your mind on wheat consumption and would rather argue the toss?
Personally, if I'm so convinced there's cold hard evidence for my unconventional views you can be damn sure I will share them with all and anyone who expresses a vague interest in seeing them. But then I like basing my arguments in fact and not anecdote or flimsy opinion.0 -
I have a diabetic friend who was told to cut back on carbs and lost a lot of weight very quickly doing so, and has kept it off. If carbs are something you have a problem with, scaling back for a while will probably help your weight loss! Just make sure that when/if you add them back in you don't go hog wild, and continue to count your calories, or you can very easily gain the weight back. I hope this is a good solution for you guys! Having someone in the household who can't eat the carbs might help keep you in check. Good luck!
EDIT: Oh, this thread is super old. My bad.0 -

It's been newly active. it's okay.
The reason that your friend lost so much weight is because of the calorie deficit. Cutting out a food group without replacing those calories by bumping up another food group leads to a calorie deficit, which leads to weight loss.0 -

...... or not. Low carb has been around since before the calorie unit was even implemented.MYTH #1: YOU MUST COUNT CALORIES TO LOSE WEIGHT
Back in the 1800s there was a very fat man named William Banting who thought he was going deaf.
Banting was a prosperous 66-year-old London undertaker who was so rotund he couldn’t tie his own shoelaces. At 5’5” and 202 pounds (!) he was so fat he had to walk downstairs backwards. In August 1862 Banting took himself to see a doctor named William Harvey, who promptly figured out that Banting’s problem wasn’t deafness; it was obesity.
His fat was pressing on his inner ear!
Dr. Harvey took a look at Banting’s diet, which was heavily laden with bread, sugar, pastries and beer, and put him on a diet of meat. Instead of starting the day with sugared tea and toast, Banting now started the day with 5 or 6 ounces of beef, mutton, kidneys, bacon or broiled fish. He stopped eating potatoes and pastry. He still consumed some carbs, but only a fraction of the amount he had been consuming previously.
The calorie as a unit of measurement hadn’t been invented yet, but we know now that on the meat-centered diet Banting was consuming close to 2800 calories, which is a lot.
He lost over 50 pounds in 6 months.
Postscript: He kept the weight off and lived comfortably till the age of 81.0 -

A way to measure the energy in food wasn't invented, or a name for it but calories still existed. Cutting out carbs just reduced the energy intake. The name for it is irrelevant, the science remains that energy in was less energy than out resulting in lost weight. This can be achieved without cutting whole food groups.
This excerpt only gives an estimate for calories after carbs, not one for the period he did consume them. It's a terrible example for the argument against carb consumption all round.0 -

This makes no logical sense. If you don't know the calorie count of what he was eating, how can you say what the calorie count was over a hundred years later, and that it made no difference?
