Wheatophobia: Will avoiding wheat really improve your health?

[djean111]

21. Don't know why some people get all fired up over what other people choose to eat. Or not eat.

I feel wonderful sticking to an Atkins-type diet - and by diet I mean this is what I eat; by definition, to me, a "diet" is whatever I am eating.
But I don't go around Publix grabbing baguettes out of other people's carts and flinging them down the aisle. (The bread, not the person.)
Just because someone writes about about their own particular eating regimen doesn't mean anyone else has to do it.
If I eat bread, I get a bit of intestinal upset. Euphemism.
If I eat ice cream or any other sugary thing, my feet sort of swell and I get foot cramps at night.
I am totally uninterested in why that happens, really. And totally uninterested in any theories or naysayers - that's silly to care.
I just skip that kind of food. I don't need it.

Just books! Just theories! That being said, I wouldn't trust any geometrically- or plate-shaped formula for eating put together by our government, no matter who is titular head. Everyone has an agenda, and I just want to be happy with what I eat.
Maybe I would feel differently about that stuff if I dabbled in wheat futures or whatever.
