"We know that the gliadin protein of wheat and identical proteins in rye and barley initiates autoimmune diseases. (Dr. Davis says gliadin also binds to opiate receptors in the brain, stimulating appetite.) We know that consumption of wheat makes paranoid schizophrenia worse. We know that the mania of bipolar illness can be triggered by wheat, rye and barley. We know that people who have rheumatoid arthritis do better and have a better chance of remission off wheat. It's not my speculation. It's that there is an astounding amount of research already preformed. But no one has put it all together and started questioning, well, how appropriate is this for the human diet in the first place?"
