Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever. After putting over two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing amazing results, cardiologist William Davis has concluded that it is not fat, sugar, or a sedentary lifestyle that is causing America's obesity epidemic--it is wheat. Here, Dr. Davis exposes the truth about modern-day wheat, which has been genetically modified almost beyond recognition. He sheds light on wheat's connection to weight gain and a host of other adverse effects from diabetes to heart disease to immunologic and neurologic disorders. Finally, to help listeners make the move to a wheat-free diet, he offers an action plan packed with food and lifestyle tips, meal plans, and recipes.
