Wheat, which used to be considered a "staff of life," in recent times, has become a dietary scourge for
numerous men, women, and children. What happened, especially when there are so many processed
foods that contain wheat or wheat derivatives?
First and foremost, we ought to realize that wheat grown today is a hybridized version of heirloom
wheat during the early 20th century.
Einkorn, [1] which probably was the oldest variety of wheat known and grown for thousands of years,
has fallen out of favor even though it contains a lower percentage of gluten.
According to Tropical Traditions' article, "Einkorn Ancient Grain,"
Since einkorn is such an ancient grain and the only known diploid classified variety of wheat still known
to exist today, there has been considerable interest in the issue of gluten toxicity.
One way of measuring gluten toxicity is by the gliadin to glutenin ratio, and einkorn has a much more
favorable ratio than modern wheat varieties.
Einkorn has a gliadin to glutenin ratio of 2:1 compared to 0.8:1 for durum and hard red wheat.

While this lower gluten ratio may hold some promise for gluten intolerance disorders, it should be
cautioned that einkorn DOES contain gluten, and so those desiring to avoid all gluten are NOT
recommended to consume einkorn. [1]
Gliadin is another classification of proteins in grains, e.g., wheat, whereas glutenin is the major protein
in wheat (47%).
Gluten is an elastic-like protein remaining after the starches are washed away. Numerous vegetarian
"meats" are made with "Seitan". [2]
As Tropical Traditions explains,
"Einkorn has a gliadin to glutenin ratio of 2:1 compared to 0.8:1 for durum and hard red wheat.
Old Ways Whole Grains Council says, [3]

Different types of wheat have different numbers of chromosomes, and some studies show that the
older wheats, with fewer chromosomes, tend to have lower levels of gliadins, the type of gluten
proteins that seem to cause most sensitivities.
Einkorn, the oldest known type of wheat in our current food supply, has just 14 chromosomes, and is
called a diploid wheat. Durum wheat (the kind most often used for pasta) and emmer are tetraploid
wheats, with 28 chromosomes.
Common wheat (used for most everything) and spelt have 42 chromosomes and are known as
hexaploid wheats.
Research shows that different tetraploid and hexaploid wheat varieties differ widely in gliadin levels,
and it's possible to select "individual genotypes with less Celiac Disease-immunogenic potential."
Some heirloom wheat varieties grew very tall and were not manageable for industrial farming practices,
so newer varieties were developed in the 1950s and 1960s by Norman Borlaug, father of the Green
Revolution.
He [Borlaug] pioneered new "improved" species of semi-dwarf wheat that, together with complimenting
fertilizers and pesticides, increased yield spectacularly.

This amazing new farming technology was propagated around the world by companies like Dupont and
Monsanto, while mid-20th-century humanity applauded the end of hunger. [4]
Furthermore,
So let's reject the profound genetic changes in modern wheat, in favor of traditional species our bodies
recognize. Let's reject the chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and pesticides of modern
industrial farming in favor of organic farming and clean seed. [5]
That's only half of the story regarding what's happened to wheat!

So, what else goes on with wheat?

Shortly before harvesting wheat - about 3 days, farmers routinely spray the crop with Roundup [5]
since glyphosate - its main component - is considered to be a desiccant that enables a more evenly
ripened crop harvest, plus less work for farmers, or so it's been said.
Not only is wheat sprayed with Roundup pre-harvest, so are the following crops:
Oats, non-GMO canola, flax, peas, lentils, non-GMO soybeans, dry beans and sugar cane!
So, it's most important to buy, cook, and eat organically-grown grains, beans and lentils (legumes).
Even if the crops are not GMO, they still can be sprayed with Roundup! Glyphosate, the main active
ingredient, has been declared a Class 2B carcinogen by the World Health Organization's IARC. [6]
Wheat, when stored in grain silos, can be fumigated with toxins such as phosphine, chloropicrin, and
methyl bromide.
According to the University of Minnesota/Extension,
So fumigants are able to penetrate into places that are inaccessible to insecticide sprays or dusts.
All fumigants are poisons-highly toxic to humans and other warm-blooded animals, as well as to
insects. Consequently, they are classified as Restricted Use Pesticides and in accordance with
Minnesota State Pesticide Law can be applied only by certified and licensed fumigators. [7]
When wheat grain is milled into flour, there are other processes that further compromise the resulting
flour, e.g., milling, removal of bran, fiber and germ, to leave a powder-like substance, the endosperm,
which becomes flour, that is bleached and 'enriched' with added synthetic B vitamins and iron.

But that's not where wheat's tragic flour story ends.

The chemical Azodicarbonamide (ADA) [8] is added as a dough conditioner when wheat flour is made
into various food products like breads, pastries, etc. As a matter of fact, there are close to 500 food
items that contain ADA.
According to Dr. Edward F Group, DC, ND, founder of Global Healing Center, ADA can cause the
following adverse health effects:
respiratory problems
skin irritant
disrupts the immune system
is harmful to hormone function [9]
Personally, I imagine that it would negatively affect the gut microbiome and even cause digestive
problems, e.g., heartburn.
Additionally, ADA increases the gluten content in bread! That's not what we need, especially with all
the gut problems and gluten sensitivities occurring in so many folks recently.
Furthermore, ADA is banned in Europe and Australia! U.S. FDA and USDA, what gives with you,
anyway? Why aren't you banning ADA in the USA? Additionally, ADA is an industrial chemical used in
the manufacture of yoga mats, shoe rubber and synthetic leather!
Mmm, mmm, good...!
To top off the above, ADA creates toxic byproducts when heated:
semicarbazide

 ethyl carbamate
Semicarbazide causes free radical damage to DNA [9] and damages human immune cells and DNA of
animals. [10]
So, what's it doing in USA-made wheat products?
Would readers like to know which brands and products contain Azodicarbonamide? Well, here's the
list. Data provided by FoodEssentials as of 2/27/2014.
Wheat is just one example of how a natural food crop, which humans subsisted on for millennia, has
been bastardized by modern chemistry and farming practices into becoming a bane to eaters.
The only way consumers can get relief is to:
1. Purchase and eat only organically-grown foodstuffs.
2. Boycott food purveyors who do not meet healthful standards and practices for the products they
produce and sell.
3. Complain in writing to federal and state agencies about toxins in the food supply.
4. Support those who are taking steps to clean up the toxic mess food has become.
Bon apptit...!

Nearly 500 ways to make a yoga mat

sandwich
If youve planked on a yoga mat, slipped on flip-flops, extracted a cell phone from protective
padding or lined an attic with foam insulation, chances are youve had a brush with an industrial
chemical called azodicarbonamide, nicknamed ADA. In the plastics industry, ADA is the

chemical foaming agent of choice. It is mixed into polymer plastic gel to generate tiny gas
bubbles, something like champagne for plastics. The results are materials that are strong, light,
spongy and malleable.
As few Americans realized until Vani Hari, creator of FoodBabe.com, spotlighted it earlier this
month, youve probably eaten ADA. This industrial plastics chemical shows up in many
commercial baked goods as a dough conditioner that renders large batches of dough easier to
handle and makes the finished products puffier and tough enough to withstand shipping and
storage. According to the new EWG Food Database of ingredients in 80,000 foods, now under
development, ADA turns up in nearly 500 items and in more than 130 brands of bread, bread
stuffing and snacks, including many advertised as healthy.
EWG researchers who are constructing the database found that ADA is listed as an ingredient on
the labels of many well-known brands of bread, croutons, pre-made sandwiches and snacks,
including Ball Park, Butternut, Country Hearth, Fleischmans, Food Club, Harvest Pride,
Healthy Life, Jimmy Dean, Joseph Campione, Kroger, Little Debbie, Marianos, Marie
Callendars, Martins, Mothers, Pillsbury, Roman Meal, Sara Lee, Schmidt, Shoprite, Safeway,
Smuckers, Sunbeam, Turano, Tyson, Village Hearth and Wonder.
This synthetic additive has been largely overlooked because it is not known to be toxic to people
in the concentration approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration 45 parts per
million. According to the World Health Organization, workers handling large volumes have
reported respiratory symptoms and skin sensitization, but ADA has not undergone extensive
testing of its potential to harm human health.
One thing is clear: ADA is not food, as food has been defined for most of human history. It is an
industrial chemical added to bread for the convenience of industrial bakers. In centuries past,
flour fresh from the mill had to age several months before it could be kneaded into dough and
popped into the oven. But in 1956, a New Jersey chemical, pharmaceuticals and engineering firm
called Wallace & Tiernan, best known for inventing a mass water chlorination process,
discovered that ADA caused flour to achiev[e] maturing action without long storage. The
result, the firms patent application stated, was commercial bread that was light, soft and
suitably moist, yet suitably firm or resilient, and that [had] crusts and internal properties of a
pleasing and palatable nature. The FDA approved ADA as a food additive in 1962. It is not
approved for use in either Australia or the European Union.
In the early 1990s, ADA became the preferred dough conditioner of many American commercial
bakers as a result of Californias Proposition 65, which went into effect in 1987. This law
required California authorities to list certain chemicals in food as possibly dangerous to human
health. Potassium bromate, then a common dough conditioner, was found to be carcinogenic in
test animals and made the Prop 65 list in 1991. ADA was widely adopted as a safer substitute.
Over the years, health activists concerned about synthetic chemicals in food have attacked the
widespread use of ADA, but it did not attract nationwide headlines until Hari of Food Babe
circulated a petition demanding that Subway, among the nations biggest fast-food outlets, stop
using the chemical in its loaves. Subway responded that ADA was safe, but even so, it had

quietly been seeking a substitute over the past year. The company pointed out that ADA is
found in the breads of most chains such as Starbucks, Wendys, McDonalds, Arbys, Burger
King, and Dunkin Donuts. Those other fast food giants joined Subway on the defensive.
EWG's Food Database, which is now being tested but is still under development, shows that
ADA is widespread in supermarket items as well as fast food. The EWG project is being built on
data gathered by FoodEssentials, a company that compiles details about the ingredients in foods
sold in American supermarkets. To this data, EWG is adding layers drawn from its research on
hazard concerns such as pesticide residues, food additives, and contaminants such as mercury.
EWGs Food Database will be the first of its kind looking deeply at the nutritional value of
foods sold in supermarkets as well as their potential health hazards and degree of processing. The
interactive project is funded by support from the GRACE Communications Foundation, the Brin
Wojcicki Foundation and EWGs online community and partners. It is scheduled to be made
available to the public in the fall.
The database has two purposes: to empower consumers with the information they need to make
healthier shopping choices and to put pressure on food manufacturers to clean up the nation's
food supply. It draws on EWGs expertise and experience gained in developing online databases
that have dramatically affected policy debates and consumer awareness on topics including farm
subsidies, tap water contaminants, pesticides in produce, hazardous ingredients in personal care
products and home cleaners, and the damage done to public land by oil, gas and uranium
extraction.
The information detailed in this report on ADA, gathered from FoodEssentials on Feb. 11,
represents a snapshot of food market on that date. EWG recognizes that the marketplace is
constantly changing as food processors reformulate, discontinue and introduce products. The list
of products in this report represents an extensive look at the ingredients in food recently
available in stores, but it may not be comprehensive. Shoppers must read product labels to know
for certain whether ADA and other chemical additives are in items theyre contemplating buying.
The consumers search for healthier food may get easier as the clean label trend in food
manufacturing gains momentum. Last month, the trade journal Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery
reported that commercial bakers and snack food manufacturers are seeking new, better
ingredients mostly due to consumer demand for better-for-you products with clean labels and
no genetically modified organisms (GM0s).
Clean label, like natural, has no precise legal definition. Food manufacturers often use the
term to mean wholesome, without synthetic and unpronounceable ingredients notably
azodicarbonamide.
EWG recommends that consumers take steps to avoid the industrial additive ADA in their food.
It is an unnecessary ingredient, its use has raised concerns about occupational exposure, and
questions remain about its potential risk to consumers.
EWG also calls on all manufacturers to immediately end its use in food.
