ALL ABOUT GLUTEN, YOU NEED TO KNOW! CONCLUSION According to Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, “This new modern wheat may look like wheat, but it is different in three important ways that drives obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia and more” [53]. He also states the three point that we in this paper have already concluded. Dr. Hyman lists the three reasons wheat should NOT to be consumed as… (direct quote from his blog site): #1 It contains a Super Starch amylopectin A that is super fattening. #2 It contains a form of Super Gluten that is super-inflammatory. #3 It contains forms of a Super Drug that is super-addictive and makes you crave and eat more. End quote. Avoiding wheat, especially if it helps in improving your overall health is an outstanding strategy. The key question here is, are you aware of what is behind the health conditions you are facing. There is a possibility that knowledge gained from this paper may help you evaluate that question. Let us analyze this in greater details. WHAT IS GOOD HEALTH? In a universally acceptable language and in layman’s terms that definition in five words would be “absence of bad health conditions”. None of us can disagree to that statement. Doctors scientifically put this by the following five statements and if you answer any three of the below statements in affirmation, then you have a metabolic syndrome. 1. Wide abdominal area? (based upon your height, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI); 2. Fasting glucose is over 5.6 Hb-A1c (122 mg/dl or 6.8 mmol/l); 3. Blood pressure over 135/85 mm Hg; probably readers may not agree with this as it is not matching 2017 recommendations from the American College of Cardiology [54] [55]; 4. Triglycerides over 1.7 mmol/L [56] or 200 mg/dl [57];
5. HDL <= 1 mmol/L or <= 40 mg/dL; The higher the better; If any three out of five biomarkers positively answered as “yes”, then you have metabolic syndrome. Take this up with your doctor. If one or two are “yes”, then you are at the borderline. In either case you can work to reverse the identified condition(s). What you need is knowledge and determination. So good health is the absence of disease and it could be accomplished by providing your body cells with building blocks (materials), which are nutrients [58] [59] [60] [61] that includes minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids and keeping your body away from the inflammatory foods. If this statement is understood and translated in practice in your life, many health conditions will simply cease to exist. Minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids are the building blocks for the chemical reactions in your cells. Today’s food does not have the same mineral and vitamin contents as it use to have back in the time. Moreover, the environment and toxicity today compared to hundred or thousand or ten thousand years back is completely different. When the construction materials (building blocks) are in short supply, your body cells cannot perform their intended function properly. Health problems starts to accumulate. Another way you are creating problem for your own body is by taking foods that are causing inflammation inside of your body. What you put in your mouth is absolutely in your control and will contribute to the problem or the process of resolution. If what you put in your mouth is creating health issues, then it is your right to understand it and take necessary actions to change it.
