According to Dr. Williams Davis, wheat is a chronic poison. Wheat contains a protein known as gluten which can cause about 55 diseases including cancer, heart disease, IBS, migraine, epilepsy, and other autoimmune diseases. Also, wheat contains compounds such as phytates, which obstruct the absorption of macro minerals such as zinc, calcium, iron, and others, thereby causing the mineral deficiency.
