Want to live a long and healthy life so you can keep doing real estate deals and making money for a long time…
read the book WHEAT BELLY by Cardiologist Dr. Davis.
This was an amazing book which explains why people get cancer, become diabetic, get dementia, and a slew of other health problems.
Learn why wheat and other glutens are your enemy #1.
I agree Jackie!
My brother lost 30 lbs following the principles from that book and my father who is 78 years old and a borderline type II diabetic dropped his A1C level over 1 point which moved him out of the borderline category. That translated into not requiring medication (which causes a whole load of side effects) and also not causing heart/circulatory problems which being a borderline type II diabetic can cause.

Had not one of the websites I regularly follow not carried an article about the Wheat Belly book, I would have known nothing about it. As a result, when I stumbled across an article raising some non-trivial questions about the author’s claims, I saved it.This is very much out of my bailiwick, so what you see is what you get … to judge as best you can. This is that partly contrary article:

My scientific expertise on such matters is probably most inspired by an old quip from Mark Twain, who wrote to “Beware of diet books. You might die of a misprint.”
But that doesn’t provide much technical guidance, which in an era of conflicting claims, is understandably frustrating.

It is not a diet book – though eliminating gluten has helped a lot of people lose weight
The book explains how the constant ups then downs in blood sugar levels cause havoc on your body which leads to diabetes, heart problems, joint pain, headaches, and a slew of other problems.
Another book, Grain Brain – explains the damaging effects blood sugar spikes has on your brain which will lead to dementia
The one thing which causes the biggest spikes in blood sugar is wheat. So, eliminating wheat can make a big difference in your health.
