    This is not true. Here is the specific chart which shows 36% more protein in einkorn over modern wheat: https://youtu.be/6fciEfyYyK4?t=128 https://youtu.be/6fciEfyYyK4?t=128 It also has 62% more fat.

    Nope. It turns out if you breed wheat for higher yield, most of that bulk comes in the form of carbohydrates.

"Put it all together: wheat and related grains are potent appetite stimulants and obesogens–foods that make you fat." I was just reading this today in the Wheat Belly cookbook. I'll dig up the studies references if I get time but there is data out there that suggest this. https://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2015/08/wheat-makes-you-hungry/ https://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2015/08/wheat-makes-you-hungr...

  The thing about nutrition is that we don't actually know anything about it, which means that the internet is full of pseudo-scientific woo. Pick a position and you'll find some obscure blog to support it. So what? You can find blogs about bigfoot too. The claims in that link do not seem credible to me. If wheat increases the appetite, it does so because it's delicious.
