You're forgetting the role of opioids in grains. Glutens contain
at least five distinct opioids---morphine-like substances---and
they are found repeatedly in the structures of a single protein.
These exorphins also have an impact on insulin production.
And anyone who is severely insulin-resistant can testify that
carbohydrates can make them act like an alcoholic and a shot---
it triggers cravings that spiral into truly addictive behavior.
Opioids in grains are indeed addictive, and carbohydrates in
insulin-resistant individuals, because of the havoc they wreak on
their insulin and blood sugar levels, definitely do make you
binge.
