Many people out there, both lay people and various health professionals, have expressed their opinions on the subject. Those who defend the consumption of wheat and gluten argue that there are not enough studies on the harmful effects or that the question of whether they are “bad for you” is a mere “food fad” and that every human being has their own biochemical individuality, which would therefore prevent generalizations.

Have you read it? Then let's continue.
As a doctor with more than 20 years' experience, I've treated tens of thousands of people and since I started using orthomolecular medicine and notions of functional nutrition and nutrology in my medical practice (I'm not a specialist in these, it's worth emphasizing), I've noticed something about wheat and gluten:
- Almost all patients report improvement when they remove both from their diets.
- My family and I all feel much better when we avoid wheat and gluten.
- Almost all patients with overweight/obesity problems and inflammation in general (and related disorders) reported improved symptoms and better treatment results when they removed wheat and gluten from their dietary routines.
- I've seen hundreds of cases of patients with generally good lifestyle habits who still had some disorders that were improved or even cured by removing gluten and wheat from their diet.
If there are no arguments against facts, the people at GreenMedInfo “closed the discussion” in this recent article: hundreds of good scientific evidences that back up what I firmly believe these days, by proving theory and practice - that gluten and wheat are bad for everyone:

Many people may have such discreet symptoms that they don't even notice them or report them to their health professionals... Others may not even associate their symptoms/illnesses with the (mainly recurrent) intake of gluten and wheat.
But what I can tell you is that there are plenty of articles, books, opinions from reliable professionals and clinical experience that prove that, nowadays, wheat and gluten are bad for all of us, and can be the cause or aggravator/maintainer of any symptom or disease.
Got it? It's as simple as that.
