Did you actually read that article? First of all, there's a huge difference between refined white grain flour and whole wheat flour. The article also talks about the advantages of sprouted wheat, which is relatively easy to find these days. Secondly, that article cites no scientific studies showing negative impacts of modern wheat.
Modern wheat is perfectly healthy. There are many studies showing this. The anti-wheat brigade is simply jumping on the latest snake oil fad that is based on pseudoscience, misinformation, and anecdotes.
I just think if people believe they have a problem with wheat (or any other food) don't eat it. Many of us have no problems.
For myself, I have cut down on my wheat consumption but I eat it every day at breakfast. I mostly eat sourdough which I make myself, or imported wheat products (which I prefer the taste of).
I don't think it is any worse than anything else people eat. Just don't eat it breakfast lunch and dinner (and dessert, lol)
Pure conjecture and pseudo science. The actual science shows that whole wheat is health enhancing.
You have provided no links, and there is absolutely no evidence that would ever suggest that Americans need to eat modern wheat, especially the idiotic assertion that the USDA has put out that asserts 5+ servings of "whole grains" a day on the "food plate." That is absurdity, and partly the cause of our current obesity crisis in this country.
Processed foods (many contain wheat) consumption increased starting in the 1980s, correlated with exponential increase in obesity levels in Americans. Even in my local area I've noticed few people in the expansive "bread aisle" anymore, that is pretty huge on the ground evidence in my book.

Logically speaking it would be pretty hard to isolate that from the tragically bad "low fat" craze.
