Eliminate Wheat

Today's farmers grow a newfangled variety of wheat "that produces super-size crops."  It also produces super-size waistelines.  Modern wheat raises blood sugar more than table sugar does - which inevitably leads to weight gain.  Wheat has a bigger impact on fat storage than any other ingredient. 
Foods include bread, pasta, products that include starches, emulsifiers, and leavening agents.  Granola, processed meat, seasoning mixes, chewing gum and tortilla chips.

Cutting wheat could cure your arthritis, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, acne, tummy troubles, weight gain problems.
