A cardiologist aims to explain how eliminating wheat from the diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic - and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In 'Wheat Belly', Davis seeks to expose the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the American public as 'wheat' - and must provide readers, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, 'Wheat Belly' is a look at what can truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear the plates of this seemingly benign ingredient.
