And you thought it was all in your head.
It was!

If you are a morphine addict, you can instantly 
lose your high with an injection of Naloxone, an opiate blocker.  
Surprisingly Naloxone works as a
diet suppressor as well, because wheat acts like morphine on the brain. 

An odd series of clinical studies conducted over the past 40 years has 
demonstrated that foods can have opiate-like properties. Opiate 
blockers, like
naloxone, can thereby block appetite. One such study demonstrated 28% 
reduction in caloric intake after naloxone administration. But opiate 
blocking
drugs don't block desire for all foods, just some.

What food is known to be broken down into opiate-like polypeptides?

Wheat. On digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, wheat gluten is 
broken down into a collection of polypeptides that are released into the
bloodstream. These gluten-derived polypeptides are able to cross the 
blood-brain barrier and enter the brain. Their binding to brain cells 
can be
blocked by naloxone or naltrexone administration. These polypeptides 
have been named exorphins, since they exert morphine-like activity on 
the brain.
While you may not be "high," many people experience a subtle reward, a 
low-grade pleasure or euphoria.

For the same reasons, 30% of people who stop consuming wheat experience withdrawal, i.e., sadness, mental fog, and fatigue.

Wouldn't you know that the pharmaceutical industry would eventually 
catch on? Drug company startup, Orexigen, will be making FDA application
 for its
drug, Contrave, a combination of naltrexone and the antidepressant, 
buproprion. It is billed as a blocker of the "mesolimbic reward system" 
that
enhances weight loss.

Step back a moment and think about this: We are urged by the USDA and 
other "official" sources of nutritional advice to eat more "healthy 
whole
grains." Such advice creates a nation of obese Americans, many the 
unwitting victims of the new generation of exorphin-generating, 
high-yield dwarf
mutant wheat. A desperate, obese public now turns to the drug industry 
to provide drugs that can turn off the addictive behavior of the 
USDA-endorsed
food.

There is no question that wheat has addictive properties. You will soon 
be able to take a drug to block its effects. That way, the food industry
profits, the drug industry profits, and you pay for it all.
