Gliadin

I've read that a cardiologist named William Davis is trying to persuade people to stop eating wheat because modern wheat (I suppose that excludes heirloom wheat(?)) has been cultivated to produce an opiate called gliadin. What do you think? It sounds like alarmism to me—although to be fair, it's not clear to me at this point whether Davis thinks gliadin will harm the brain or just make us all very hungry—but I don't know exactly who William Davis is or what gliadin's place is in the human diet or body, and right now I'm feeling too unfocused to investigate it myself. (Maybe that's the wheat crackers I just ate. ) Even if gliadin is an opiate, just how much of it is in wheat, that it should be a cause for concern? Cocoa and cinnamon contain stimulants and garlic contains a narcotic, but I don't hear anyone raising alarms about those.

If you're a skeptic who eats wheat and feels bored (on an opiate? ), now you have something to do.
