Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by William Davis
3.0
BLUF: Valuable information but the author sounds like a fanatic and blames all world problems on eating wheat. I'm not saying his theories are wrong, he does have some compelling evidence but his delivery needs some major work.
More info:
Proposes wheat causes major issues and uses science jargon and sources, with in-depth discussion on celliac disease and diabetes, and some discussion on ulcerative colitis to illustrate what he believes is predominantly caused by "wheat intolerance".
His works ties into low-carb and keto as well but that is not his focus. He does connect insulin issues, weight gain, etc. similar to low-carb/keto proponents but believes wheat to be the main culprit and believes most persons affected with these issues only need to remove wheat to gain benefits. He offers low-carb/keto as a way to go further if one wishes towards the very end of the book, but his main ax to grind is wheat and the problems wheat appears to cause.
Major issues were his fanaticism against wheat and how it causes all problems in life and the overly science jargon in a couple of chapters that drones on and on.
