So what are you saying, no bread at all????? White and wheat same as each other? That is so contrary to everything I have read and if its true, well what the heck do you eat for bread???

Stacy,
Yes, really. All wheat, including the most expensive stone ground organic, etc.It has all been modified and changed, to a point where it does damage to your body. Ask your same friends what a wheat field looks like, and I'm sure they'll describe the "amber waves..." of tall, graceful stalks in the wind.
A modern wheat field only comes up to your knees. It has big, thick stalks and huge awns of grain that are easy and convenient to harvest. It's very profitable; and very harmful.
It is no conincidence that since the USDA started promoting their "healthy whole grain" diet for the last 30 or so years, diabetes and obesity have soared. If conventional wisdom were correct, we'd all be lean and healthy.
I read william Davis' book, "Wheat Belly," and have changed my diet accordingly; no gluten. I eat much less bread. When I do need a piece of bread, I use a millet chia bread that I buy at Whole Foods. It's actually very tasty, and friends who are not gluten free enjoy it.
Unfortunately, I have found that getting healthy is not easy or convenient; not the least of which is being branded as a fanatic by your friends. But I have not found any foods that taste better than being healthy.
