when he took patients off wheat to cut their blood sugar, and then noticed that it made a big difference in their lipid panel numbers What's missing from that is that he hasn't isolated the result to wheat. It could be that by cutting wheat, they effectively reduced their starches or sugars or their calorie consumption. You cannot conclude that it was the wheat. You need more. Maybe he has more and he just isn't telling us. Or maybe he's just thinking sloppily. Had he taken his patients off white foods, would it have been "white" that caused whatever resulted? Of course not. Say a patient was getting most of his wheat in the form of donuts, then it could easily have been the reduction in sugar that caused the result rather than the wheat. I wonder if he ever tried to correlate patient results with wheat allergies. If someone is wheat addicted, then the resulting reduction in calories and accompanying weight loss may be a better explanation than glycemic load. That explanation enables differentiation between wheat and other grains and it also enables his lack of differentiation between processed wheat and wheat bran.
