We do not recommend consuming products made with wheat. The reason we want consumers to avoid wheat, is because the gluten within the wheat is very damaging to our gastro-intestinal tract. Also much of our wheat has been genetically modified. Wheat gluten may cause of the following disease-states:
- Celiac Disease
It is very important to avoid wheat glutens and there are plenty of alternatives available on the market.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Leaky Bowel Syndrome
- Crohns Disease (inflammation of the intestines)
- And many other diseases
However, we understand that in our society it is very hard to completely avoid wheat altogether; wheat has been an American staple. So, we have created a general rule-of-thumb when it comes to eating wheat products: If you are going to consume wheat, make sure it is NOT genetically modified (which usually means organic), look at the nutritional label and if wheat is listed in the first four ingredients, the product should be avoided. Don’t be fooled by “whole wheat” as this still contains wheat gluten.
