The real danger in bread isn't the gluten. In this video, we'll explain why bread can be unhealthy, how it affects insulin and blood sugar, and what you can eat instead if you decide to stop eating bread.0:00 Introduction: Why bread is unhealthy1:14 The bread blood sugar spike 1:50 The gluten myth 2:54 Bread dangers6:37 Is whole wheat bread healthy? 7:40 Gluten allergies8:22 Modern wheat dangersDownload Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Bread is mostly starch, which is a chain of glucose molecules. Even if the label says zero grams of sugar, that starch is quickly broken down into sugar in your bloodstream.Wheat is in many of the foods people eat regularly: pizza, cereal, granola bars, and more. The average American consumes wheat almost every day.One of the biggest problems with bread is the blood sugar spike. In some cases, bread can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar, despite being labeled as having zero sugar.Gluten-free bread isn't always a healthier option. Many gluten-free breads are made with potato starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, or cornstarch instead of wheat flour. These ingredients can spike blood sugar just as much as, if not more than, regular sugar. The starch in bread doesn't just affect blood sugar. It may also contribute to higher LDL cholesterol, fatty liver, and glycation.When bread spikes your blood sugar, insulin is released to bring it down. But where does the excess sugar go? Much of it gets converted into stored fat in the liver and around the belly. Over time, repeated blood sugar spikes and high insulin levels can lead to insulin resistance.While a small percentage of people have a true gluten allergy or sensitivity, for many others, the real issue with bread is the starch. Modern wheat has also been heavily hybridized and engineered to contain higher levels of gluten.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Wheat allergy, celiac disease, and non-specific gluten intolerance all share overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms that can confound primary care diagnosis. This episode addresses the core diagnostic challenge of distinguishing IgE-mediated wheat allergy (including ω-5 gliadin–associated wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis) from celiac disease and non-celiac gluten intolerance. We cover epidemiology, clinical presentations and timing of IgE reactions, component-resolved diagnostics, serologic algorithms for celiac disease, when to refer for biopsy, and management implications including gluten-free diet counseling and emergency planning for anaphylaxis. Practical takeaways emphasize improving diagnostic yield in primary care, appropriate use of specific IgE testing, and when specialist referral is necessary.

Dr. Nicole Rambo and equine specialist Heather discuss a case where an allergy panel suggested a horse was allergic to wheat, explaining that true feed allergies in horses are rare and many blood or hair tests are unreliable. They describe how elimination diets followed by ingredient reintroduction are the most reliable way to confirm a feed reaction. The episode also explains why wheat middlings and wheat bran are commonly used in pelleted feeds, noting they provide moderate energy, protein, and fiber while improving pellet quality. They also clarify that, unlike humans with celiac disease, horses do not appear to have a gluten-triggered autoimmune response.

What actually works in wheat weed control when the old spray plan starts slipping? In this episode of Red Dirt Agronomy, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall, and Josh Lofton sit down with Liberty Galvin at AgriFest in Enid to talk through the real-world decisions that separate a clean wheat field from a frustrating one. The conversation covers pre-emergent herbicides, burndown programs, delayed planting, competitive wheat canopies, and why one weed-control strategy rarely fits every field. Liberty also breaks down why producers need to think beyond chemistry alone. From no-till residue and seedbank behavior to variety selection, tillage timing, and even the role of fire and chaff lining, this episode is packed with practical ideas for Oklahoma wheat producers facing ryegrass, brome, cheat, and other tough weed problems. It is a sharp, funny, highly useful discussion about managing weeds with better timing, better systems, and fewer assumptions. Top 10 takeaways Wheat weed control has to be system-specific now; one standard program no longer fits every field. Delayed planting can be a real weed-control tool because it lets producers target the first flush before or near planting. Variety selection and crop competition deserve more attention as weed-management tools, not just yield tools. A dense, fast-closing wheat canopy can suppress weed emergence and make herbicides work in a friendlier environment. In heavy-residue no-till systems, burndown programs may sometimes outperform soil-applied pre-emergent products because of poor soil contact. Bare ground at green-up is not always a disadvantage; it can create an opening for spring residual herbicides. Herbicide timing and rotating modes of action matter as much as product choice when resistance is in play. Weed seedbanks behave differently by species; many grasses are shorter-lived than broadleaf weeds, which can persist much longer. Occasional strategic tillage may have value in long-term resistance management, but timing, moisture, and erosion risk all matter. Fire and chaff lining are not silver bullets, but they may become useful post-harvest tools in integrated weed-management systems. Detailed Timestamped Rundown00:00–01:34 — Dave opens Episode 509 and frames the show around a question many wheat producers are asking: what do you do when the old reliable spray program is not getting the job done anymore?01:34–03:03 — The crew records live from AgriFest in Enid, with a quick round of banter before introducing Liberty Galvin and setting up the conversation around current wheat weed-control challenges.03:03–05:06 — Liberty gives an update on building her program at OSU and describes her “spaghetti plate method” of trying multiple ideas until a clearer research direction starts to form.05:06–06:06 — She explains a pre-emergent herbicide study funded by the Wheat Commission, including trials at Lahoma, Perkins, and Chickasha, and how dramatically different those environments behaved.06:06–07:15 — Liberty shifts to a cultural weed-control and IPM study, comparing multiple systems, including variety selection, to see which wheat types compete best against weeds.07:15–09:28 — The discussion turns to delayed planting. Liberty explains how cooler temperatures and moisture patterns affect winter weed emergence, and why delaying planting can help knock out the first flush.09:28–11:02 — Josh and Brian push on the tradeoffs: smaller, later wheat may conserve resources for spring, but more open soil can also invite weed emergence.11:02–15:13 — The group digs into species-specific weed behavior, especially Italian ryegrass, and talks through spring residual opportunities, bare ground at green-up, and mixing herbicide timings and modes of action.15:13–17:34 — Economics enter the picture. Liberty points out how hard it is to recommend multiple passes in a $4 wheat market, while Brian argues that badly infested fields can still justify stronger programs.17:34–20:21 — They compare delayed planting, tillage, roundup burndown, and no-till systems, with Liberty sharing observations that residue-heavy no-till fields may not always favor soil-applied pre products.20:21–24:23 — The conversation moves into tillage in long-term no-till, including when precision tillage might help, how moisture affects the operation, and how occasional soil inversion could influence resistant weed problems.24:23–28:01 — Dave asks how long weed seeds persist. Liberty gives a great primer on seedbanks, explaining why many grasses tend to have shorter dormancy while some broadleaf seeds can remain viable for years or even decades.28:01–31:44 — Josh shares a story about deep flipping fields and unexpectedly bringing crabgrass back. That leads into a broader point from Liberty: selection pressure drives weed problems, so no single tactic can carry the whole load.31:44–35:14 — Josh asks Liberty to explain her identity as a weed ecologist rather than a purely herbicide-focused weed scientist. She lays out why understanding weed biology helps producers exploit weak points with smarter management.35:14–39:11 — The crew tackles the myth that healthy soil alone eliminates weeds, then pivots into fire as a weed-management tool, including controlled burns, chaff lining, and research showing seed destruction under the right conditions.39:11–42:31 — They explore what fire can and cannot do, how residue burns sometimes create cleaner zones, and why chaff lining could eventually reduce sprayed acres by concentrating weed pressure into narrow strips.42:31–45:56 — The show closes with a plug for Winter Crop School, more Oklahoma burn-talk humor, and a final thank-you to Liberty for a practical and entertaining conversation.

On this Ohio Ag Net Podcast, powered by Ohio Corn and Wheat, Ty Higgins catches up with Jeff Osterhaus, seed innovation manager for CROPLAN about how the pest pressures that corn and soy growers faced last year is informing their seed decisions for 2026. Plus, rising beef-on-dairy returns are changing breeding decisions on farms across the country, and those changes may have long-term implications for the dairy herd. Corey Geiger, Lead Dairy Economist with CoBank, joins Joel Penhorwood to discuss how strong beef prices are influencing the use of beef semen on dairy cows, reducing the number of replacement heifers entering the milking herd in the years ahead. Then, navigating today's grain markets is not for the faint of heart but having a holistic view of the world's needs and shifting production levels can be very useful in making long-range decisions. Leist Mercantile's Ryan Metzger shared his thoughts on what farmers should be looking for when marketing their commodities.

If you've ever wondered where your wheat flour is coming from, who is milling it (and how), or how it came to be such an important staple, then this episode might be for you. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless speaks with host Scott Catey about People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas (U Texas Press, 2026). This book examines the history of wheat in the six counties of the North Texas wheat belt, and how wheat growing, milling, and baking shaped the people and culture there. In the national imaginary, America's amber fields of grain lie in the country's center, but for more than a century, they also grew across one pocket of the South: North Texas. From the 1840s to the 1970s, the state's agriculture, dominated in lore by cotton in the east and livestock in the open range, was heavily invested in the cultivation, processing, sale, and consumption of wheat. Recalling a forgotten history, Rebecca Sharpless shows how the rhythms of the wheat harvest—and the evolution of the milling, distribution, and baking industries—governed daily life in what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. In the 1840s, Anglo settlers discovered that grain flourished in North Texas and quickly built an economy that included wheat in fields, mills, and kitchens. After the Civil War, hand labor gave way to mechanization, greatly increasing production. Commercial bakeries churned out novel confections, and big cities were built on the bounty of the countryside. In the second half of the twentieth century, as production moved northward, industrial milling and baking declined, but home baking boomed, flour advertising supported regional music, and wheat fortunes financed the region's cultural life. Sharpless covers 150 years of wheat's very human history and shows how the labor that cultivated it, the sustenance it provided, and the prosperity it generated left an indelible mark on the people and institutions of Texas. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless is a Professor of History at Texas Christian University. She specializes in Gender & Sexuality, Texas History, and American History. She is the author of three previous books: Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South (2022); Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960 (2010); and Fertile Ground, Narrow Choices: Women on Texas Cotton Farms, 1900-1940 (1999).
