AACC International publishes science-based response to wheat belly

摘要

Anew article published by AACC International refutes many of the claims published in the recent book, Wheat Belly, which charges that it is wheat consumption that is causing obesity and a myriad of other common health problems in the United States. The AACCI article challenges Wheat Belly's author William Davis's recommendation to cut wheat entirely from the diet.St. Catherine University Professor Emerita and Consultant Julie Jones takes a careful look at a selection of Davis's statements and the current research in the area, identifying which statements are based on good, sound nutrition science; those that have studies that are controversial and have support on either side of the issue; those that have no data to support them; and those that oppose widely accepted data reported in scientific and medical literature.
