In reply to the discussion: Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says [View all]yellowcanine
(35,699 posts)The whole thread is about wheat and gluten and you start talking about corn. So who is not paying attention? As for GMO wheat and the Europeans, note I said no commercial wheat varieties. That doesn't mean that companies aren't working on GMO wheat varieties. So that is presumably the target of European edict. But varieties which haven't been released to farmers can't be causing problems in the current food supply. Anyway this current "problem" supposedly dates to the 60s when the semi-dwarf gene was introduced into commercial wheat varieties using conventional plant breeding. There are plenty of peer reviewed studies since that time on the nutritional make up of wheat varieties before and after the semi-dwarf gene. None support the assertions of the wheat belly doctor of a connection between the semi-dwarf gene and nutritional makeup of wheat.
