Wheat Causes Brain Damage(Not).
« on: June 17, 2011, 06:02:14 PM »
  This is a classic example of hyperbole filled pseudo-scientific garbage that circulates on the internet. Opioids from wheat are not released by normal digestion in any significant amounts, nor do they cross the blood-brain barrier, and even if they did, no brain damage from it would result. Opioid receptors, unlike glutamate and gabaergic receptors, are not implicated in apoptosis(induced cell death). hence = no brain damage.

  They eat enormous volumes of food, but the amount of calories they eat is only about 4 times greater than what humans eat. The reason for this is that they get most of their calories from fermentation of cellulose in their small intestines, and cellulose has very low caloric density. They eat up to 100 pounds of plants a day, but that yields only a few times more calories than humans eat each day.
