Foreword to Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded Edition
An excerpt from the Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded Edition:
Have you ever come home from the grocery store with a fresh container of milk, opened it and immediately realized that it was bad—sour-smelling, curdled, unfit to drink?

By SACH JAIN
Last year I was heading to a meeting on a Fortune 500 business campus and stumbled upon a bake sale. It was odd to see someone selling cupcakes and breads on the grounds of a major corporation, so I inquired.

No matter how you slice it, Americans spend more on healthcare than any other advanced economy, with households responsible for 28% of that spen...
