Whole wheat's special ability to piss off your intestines makes it an excellent tool for maintaining regularity. All thing in moderation, fucking hypochondriacs!
MSG and Aspartic Acid are BOTH powerful excitotoxins. The body CANNOT properly digest gluten in wheat. The by-products of this faulty digestion are addictive and toxic to the human body. HFCS in another toxin.
If the body cannot properly digest gluten in wheat, then why hasn't anyone noticed this before in the last 11,000 years? And why have Asians in China and Japan been eating MSG in the form of soy sauce forever without suffering 'excitotoxic' effects?
Maybe because we weren't adding extra gluten to products. Take a look at the package for that nice, soft white bread you're eating, and I'll bet they're adding wheat gluten along with the flour.

In the late 80s there was some goofy food trend where someone decided that tomatoes and eggplant were bad, because they were part of some 'nightshade' family of plants that grew at night. Also quite poisonous. Guess that stupid trend came and went too, and people like Italians ate these vegetables (as well as lots of bread), blissfully unaware that they were being killed off in droves by powerful toxins.
Not until they've subjected you to a battery of expensive tests to insure you're not part of the tiny percent of people who truly have problems with them.

It is a myth that pre-agricultural people did not eat grains. How do you think the grains we eat today became domesticated? It did not happen over night. As people evolved, they domesticated wild grains, sheep, cattle and dogs. It's not like tesosinte turned into corn instantly. Hunter-gatherers were harvesting it, grinding it, and eating ancient tortillas. It gradually evolved via human selection instead of natural selection.
There is a HUGE difference between bound glutamic acid, which occurs naturally in fermented soy products, and free glutamic acid. Wheat gluten cannot digest properly. Nobody is capable of digesting wheat gluten properly. Some people have major problems associated with their inability to digest wheat gluten. In it's worst form it's called celiac disease. Regardless, the byproducts of the digestion of wheat gluten are chemicals which resemble opiates to the brain. Other byproducts have toxic effects within the body.
I suppose you think that when comparing table sugar to HFCS, sugar is sugar, as far as our bodies are concerned...
It is increasingly recognized that certain fundamental changes in diet and lifestyle that occurred after the Neolithic Revolution, and especially after the Industrial Revolution and the Modern Age, are too recent, on an evolutionary time scale, for the human genome to have completely adapted. This mismatch between our ancient physiology and the western diet and lifestyle underlies many so-called diseases of civilization, including coronary heart disease, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, epithelial cell cancers, autoimmune disease, and osteoporosis, which are rare or virtually absent in hunter-gatherers and other non-westernized populations. It is therefore proposed that the adoption of diet and lifestyle that mimic the beneficial characteristics of the preagricultural environment is an effective strategy to reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases.
