Why Remove Bread?
For thousands of years, wheat was a cornerstone of human civilization.
We cultivated it, stored it, milled it, and turned it into nourishing food. It sustained generations and helped build societies.
But in the modern industrial age, we’ve dramatically altered the nature of wheat—and the way we process it—and it’s having a serious impact on our health.
First, we developed machines to strip wheat down to white flour, removing its nutrients and leaving behind an empty shell. Then came chemical and genetic modifications to make wheat more resistant to pests, droughts, and diseases while also boosting yields. During this process, we also increased gluten levels to improve baking properties, making bread fluffier and pastries lighter.
The result?
Wheat today is grown from genetically altered seeds, cultivated in synthetic soils, and sprayed with chemicals. It’s then broken down, bleached, and chemically treated into a fine industrial filler—something no animal in nature would touch.
Is it any surprise that this modern wheat might be contributing to so many health problems?
In addition, bread and similar processed flour foods are often high in refined carbohydrates, which can cause blood sugar spikes and provide minimal nutritional value. And these foods are often deep fried in unhealthy seed oils which also cause harm to our organs and seriously injure our hormonal and nervous systems.
