Excellent post!

I see I have need of updating my knowledge about wheat, so THIS is good timing.

I find it interesting that my body seems to know what is good for it, regardless of what I hear or learn or whatever! Because starting in the 70's, when I was a teenager, I began to have problems. I found later that it's probable that my problems had to do with not wheat, but Glyphosate/RoundUp.

I got off wheat for a time, years, actually, and very very soon I began to feel SOOO much better, not "sticky" or bloated, and all those pimple-like things on the backs of my upper arms went away. I felt great.

After a time, I tried wheat again, not sure why, but my body said "Do it." I made, and make, sure it's organic wheat. I have eaten and baked with GF flour for myself and for others, but mostly I don't like it as a flour, regardless of what the flour is made from. But if I use it, I want organic. Actually, I want organic EVERYTHING. I want food the way we've been growing it for thousands of years!

Great post, I'll keep it for reference! Cheers.

Glyphosate may be the culprit. Now for some warm sourdough and butter.
