Feel like I SINNED

Crime

I made the decision to make up some good old Duncan Hines Wheat Confetti cupcakes. I was Stunned at my emotional reaction to this! I felt like I was baking a batch of ” SPECIAL” brownies ( Wink wink nudge nudge) in my mother’s kitchen! more

Wheat Belly Analogy!

Say you live in a village.

And in this village, everyone drinks water from the same well in the center of town. Everyone brings their own bucket, lowers it, brings it back up and carts it home to have water to drink and cook.

One day, 9 out of 10 people drinking from the well get sick. Suspecting that it’s something in the water, those 9 out of 10 stop drinking the water, retrieving water instead from the river 2 miles away. Those 9 out of 10 quickly get better.

They then return to the well for their water. After all, it’s right in the center of town and not a couple of miles away. The 9 out of 10 get sick again. They stop drinking the water from the well, then get better again.

On again, off again. The process repeats itself over and over again, reproducibly and consistently. Few are spared.

So the mayor declares the water tainted. “The solution is simple,” he proclaims. “Stop drinking from the well and drink only from the river!”

Ah, but then the political fireworks…

DR. WILLIAM DAVIS has a great analogy for the Wheat industry.  Check him out at Wheat Belly Blog dot com.
