So what’s going on with wheat? You might be surprised. Wheat is technically not GMO, however there is something else going on with wheat that’s even worse. Mutation breeding.
What happens in mutation breeding is that the entire DNA of wheat is hit with radiation and chemicals to produce mutations. They look through the mutations and see if there are any new traits which are desirable and if so, it is bred into the new wheat.
This is just as serious as GMOs, if not more. Treatment of wheat with these methods is scientifically proven to generate completely new genetic diversity. In fact, it was found in one new wheat hybrid that 5% of its proteins were not found in either of the parents. That’s just one wheat hybrid. Multiply that by the thousands of hybrids that have been done and you have some very different wheat.
In a 2014 study, one scientist stated that mutation breeding generates:
“nonsense, missense and silent mutations.” 1
Anyone want to eat food that scientists are calling genetic nonsense?
In another study done by several scientists examining mutation breeding in plants, they said:
“…these mutations pose a risk regarding biosafety. The transgenic plant should in their opinion be as identical to its parent as possible.” 2
“If the transgenic plant was to be released in the environment, genotypes with mutations should be discarded.” 3
They also found the following alarming facts:
Currently, mutation breeding is completely unregulated.
I believe that there is a connection with mutation-bred wheat and developing genetic mutations.
Notice what these new mutations commonly cause in the wheat:
“Nonsense mutations can cause loss of gene function, with truncation or loss of expression of corresponding protein.” 5
Question. If you’re eating food that has been mutated with a loss in gene function, do you think that might have an effect on your genes also?
Since the completion of the human genome project in 2003, science has been finding that we now have lots of genetic mutations which are contributing to autoimmune diseases.
Some of these genetic mutations are a big reason why the autoimmune epidemic has grown so big. These genetic mutations frequently involve a loss of gene function.
You are what you eat. What the science is going to start showing is that when you eat mutated DNA, it mutates your DNA.
On top of the genetic mutations, if your bread is not organic it’s likely that it has been doused with Roundup® (containing glyphosate) just a few days before harvest. It’s called “pre-harvesting.” We’ve already see all of the terrible things associated with glyphosate.
Another issue with mutation-bred wheat is that it is clearly proven to induce autoimmunity in the body. 6, 7 The immune system confuses a virus called adenovirus 12 with the gluten protein in wheat and starts treating wheat like it’s a virus.
Then the immune system in turn confuses wheat gluten with the proteins in the intestine wall itself and starts attacking the walls of the small intestine. This is how celiac disease develops. Celiac is a serious disease which affects millions.
However, studies show there is an even larger group of people who don’t have full-blown celiac disease, but are still getting damage the intestinal lining when they eat wheat. Maybe this is you?
When they eat gluten they get symptoms like:
Like me, some people don’t notice any problems with wheat until they go off of it for a few months, then try to start eating it again. This happened with me. After a period of staying away from it, when I accidentally had a small amount of wheat, it laid me out on the bed with extreme fatigue.
In short, gluten causes damage in the small intestine leading to leaky gut. This creates holes in your small intestine allowing bad bacteria, viruses, and toxins to get into your bloodstream and cause problems in the different organs in the body.
Whenever people with an autoimmune disease ask me about testing for gluten problems, I recommend the gluten IgA gut allergy test.
Don’t do blood tests as they’re not accurate enough. It needs to be a stool test that is sent overnight to a lab. What this test will look for is too much antibody presence for gluten. If it’s positive, then wheat is defiantly contributing to your autoimmunity.
When I did this test myself, gluten was at the top of my list. The antibodies for gluten were seven times higher than the normal range!
Literally every person I know with an autoimmune disease who takes this test receives results showing their body is having an autoimmune response to wheat.
Also multiple studies now show that mutation bred wheat is also linked to disorders like schizophrenia,8 autism,9 and epilepsy.10,11 In many of these studies the patients saw relief from their mental illnesses symptoms when they were put on a gluten free diet.
There is also an autoimmune disease called gluten ataxia (A-Tax-ia) in which gluten triggers an attack on the cerebellum leading to irreversible damage and problems with balance, speech, vision, and motor skills.12
In summary modern wheat is a huge problem for people with an autoimmune diseases.
This is why modern mutation bred wheat is the #1 autoimmune causing toxin found in your kitchen.
I hope this information has been as helpful for you as it was for me.
If you would like more info about how exactly I put these 5 steps into practice just see below.
The answer is in the 5-step plan I followed. We’ve written all everything we did in our book that details this 5-step plan and how we completely put my autoimmune in remission.
Doing these five steps faithfully was the key in reversing my autoimmune disease and doing it quickly.
