I love that phrase... "The perfect, chronic poison."

Wonder if my sister will listen now?

I too love that phrase...../ my thoughts are the same as Dr Davis about wheat!!!!

I'm onboard w/ the opioid peptides, but a little disappointed that the source article Open Original Shared Link says

"It's an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the '60s and '70s," he said on "CBS This Morning." "This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there's a new protein in this thing called gliadin.

Gliadin is new??????

Then it brings up an opioid question - is the term 'comfort food' much newer than I thought, as in starting w/ the 60s-70s strains? Doubtful, right?

My money's on opioid properties of 40s wheat, for instance, existing & contributing to ppl calling mac&cheese comfort food.
