They're waking up, it looks like.

Just waking up? This is another case of recent-history amnesia in the healthy-eating community. Just as Atkins conveniently forgot about Banting et al., this scientist cannot remember J. I. Rodale, who built his organic-farming publishing empire, in part, on his monthly series "Don't Eat Wheat!" I was still in my teens when I read those issues of Prevention magazine, and I haven't read anything new on the subject since.

There are those who claim that problems with wheat come from failure to ferment the dough (as in a natural sourdough). However, as one who has been wheat-free for some forty years, it's hard for me to understand why someone would go out of their way to make wheat edible when it is so easily avoided.
