Wheat Benefits Are Larger Than Issues For 98% Of People – Benefits Of Wheat-Free Diet Are A Myth

A new study suggest that the wheat benefits largely overcome the issues some people might present with this cereal grain - all in all, 98% of people showed positive results from a wheat diet.

Many things have been said against the wheat benefits in the body, but it seems like these myths are nothing more than that. According to Science Daily, a new  study from the University of Warwick suggests that the great majority of consumers would greatly profit from a diet based on this cereal grain - around 98% of the population.

The investigation, entitled "Wheat in diet: Study on health impact of wheat challenges Stone Age myths and costly diets, providing you go whole grain" and regarding wheat's benefits in the consumer's health, was a review that was launched last Wednesday at the Food Matters Live conference in London.

The study on wheat benefits examines two different questions regarding this cereal: the first is whether grain products are positive or negative for health; and the second, whether there was any scientific evidence that could sustain that wheat and gluten-free diets were actually better for the health of those consumers who don't suffer intolerance to the compound.

According to The Huffington Post, the review regarding wheat benefits showed that, for those without any gluten intolerance (those who suffer from celiac disease, a condition that only affects about 2 percent of the world population), there was strong evidence that suggested that diets based on whole grain could be good for the body.

The leaders of the study suggest that consumers without celiac disease who find that sometimes they may have problems processing wheat should lower the amounts they consume rather than skip the cereal entirely, due to the fact that among the many wheat benefits there's the fact that it gives the body enough fiber and energy for its daily routine.

Last year, a specialist told Today.com that there was no such thing as a "wheat allergy," only conditions such as celiac disease, wheat allergies and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
