Cardiologist Dr. William Davis explains how eliminating wheat from our
diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse
myriad health problems. Over 200 million Americans consume food products
made of wheat every day. As a result, over 100 million experience some
form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes to high blood
sugar to unattractive stomach bulges preventative cardiologist William
Davis calls "wheat bellies." According to Davis, that excess fat has
nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: it's due to the
whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2000 patients
regain health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing
conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the
nationwide obesity epidemic-and that elimination of wheat is key to
dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes
the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering
and agribusiness being sold to the American public as "wheat"-and
provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a
new wheat- free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science and
nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have
experienced life-changing transformations in health after waving goodbye
to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making
Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly
benign ingredient.
