In this episode Angela shares with us the very real dangers and concerns around eating commercially produced GMO wheat. Unfortunately wheat is no longer what it used to be 100 or even 50 years ago... wheat is not a natural grain, it was hybridized from spelt (an original, truly natural grain), wheat has 3 times the amount of gluten than spelt has and now in most western countries is genetically modified.

All of this contributes to wheat being a highly inflammatory grain and one the causes harm in a lot of people, whether through immediate food intolerance symptoms or as a chronic, low grade inflammation over years that can lead to disease. Listen to find out more and learn about some great, yummy wheat alternatives!
