Wheat Is A Cause of Many Diseases, I: Leaky Gut
Posted by Paul Jaminet on October 26, 2010
I realized last week that I often call wheat the most toxic food, but I havenât really explained why on the blog. The book has a detailed explanation, which focuses on toxicity effects and on autoimmune processes attacking the gut and thyroid. Here I would like to add to the bookâs argument by showing how wheat causes other autoimmune diseases.
There are about 50 diseases which are thought to have an autoimmune basis. Autoimmune diseases are caused by three processes:
1.Leaky gut and inflammation. A leaky gut lets bacteria and food toxins enter the body. In the body, these precipitate an immune response which creates inflammation and a chance for antibodies to form.
2. âMolecular mimicry.â A bacterial protein or food toxin resembles a human protein sufficiently closely that an antibody to the foreign protein may also recognize human proteins, potentially precipitating attacks on self tissue.
3.Adjuvant activity. Vaccines are produced by bonding an antigen (the target of the hoped-for antibody) to an adjuvant (a molecule that greatly increases the likelihood antibodies will be made â a sort of catalyst). If a âmolecular mimicâ can bind to an adjuvant, then autoimmune disease becomes much more likely.
Wheat causes many autoimmune diseases because it promotes all three aspects. Iâll look at each aspect in a separate post this week.
(This article can be found by typing "Wheat is a Cause of Many Diseases" on google. It contains 3 parts along with the science backing up the claims).
Do you have any proof that negates this article? I'm interested in nutrition, so if you have some information I'd like to read it. Thanks.
