Gluten: The Enemy Within: A timely expose of all the lies about GMOs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479211845)

The author earned degrees in psychology and holistic health in Cambridge, MA and London, England. She has been a journalist, magazine articles writer and professional artist and is now focused on writing mystery fiction. When searching for a diet to get rid of her post-menopausal "frontal pouch" she "stumbled" upon the gluten free lifestyle. This led her to hundreds of hours of research for her own enlightenment and then this book to share with her readers what she learned and how her gluten free experience has changed her life. Share her shock and disgust at the scams, lies, misleading diet information and outright omissions from those we trust to guard our health and food consumption. If you have ever wondered about the pandemic of obesity, the escalation in the incidence of diabetes and other auto immune diseases, gastrointestinal miseries and other ailments in the past few decades the answer is the introduction of deadly GMO's, Genetically Modified Organisms, into the American diet a few decades ago. We all know the mantra, EAT MORE HEALTHY WHOLE GRAINS. Well, if ever there was an oxymoron this wins the first prize! When we began eating "Frankenfoods" or "food products" rather than real food we became victims of agribusiness and such culprits as Monsanto who still refuse to admit that when you alter the chromosomes and genes of a food it is not still the same old reliable food. Join the multitudes of angry protestors demanding that foods containing GMOs be labeled as such so that you can be alerted if you value your good health. Monsanto has allotted $4.2 million to fight this labeling. What are they determined to hide? If you read no other book this year read this one: it may save your life. The author is a cook and foodie and her mystery fiction protagonists are usually foodies so she was at first concerned about losing her joy with food. Not so. She is still loving good bread and all the other formerly wheat-based foods by substituting rice flour, coconut flour, almond flour, chick pea flour, etc. She not only lost the belly but her sugar lows and food cravings, and is eating less and enjoying it more. She has more energy, sharper focus and never felt better. Last year's annual blood sugar test that came back in the pre-diabetic range is now safely down where it ought to be. By the way, the reason we become "addicted" to wheat is because the transformed gluten in the "new wheat" adheres to the same brain receptors as opiate drugs. Bon appetit
