Glycemic load is what is important in terms of metabolic effects. The glycemic load of whole wheat is 7-9. The glycemic load of sprouted wheat is 0.5. The glycemic load of cake is 17-24.
Modern whole wheat has been shown to improve health.
The Mediterranean Diet has a pretty significant amount of wheat in the form of bread, pasta, couscous, and cereals.
Modified paleo is a better approach to take, single ingredient foods are what to focus on that include: vegetables, fruits, some starches, and lean meats. That is what I generally adhere to.
Modern wheat is very deleterious to health, it has nothing in common with wheat consumed 50 years ago and is in a large percentage of processed foods. The percentage of the population of the US that is obese or overweight is around 70%. That figure would be much less if the populace stopped consumption of modern wheat.

Modern whole wheat is beneficial to health. High intakes of whole wheat and other whole grains are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, obesity, hypertension, cancer, and diabetes, to name just a few.
Right, that is why many people are hungry two hours after eating a meal filled with wheat and why snacking is a prevalent part of US culture that was non-existent 30-40 years ago before the advent of modern wheat into our food supply.
People are not more hungry after a meal with whole wheat. People who eat whole wheat and other whole grains have lower body fat than people who do not.
I have always eaten in a healthy, sensible manner. So, of course I have never been overweight.
