I just want to eat wheat products without nutty people trying to convince me that it is 'poison'. The evidence vastly supports wheat being awesome for your health, not detrimental.

What evidence is that?

  Thousands of years of human consumption without negative effect might be a useful starting point.

    Lack of negative effects are not proof of a positive effect.
    - SwellJoe 12y ago
      Survival is a positive effect, I guess.

        "It will help you to survive" is a far cry from, "The evidence vastly supports wheat being awesome for your health," though. Based on that logic, all food is "awesome for your health." :P
