Skip to 30:14 in this video – to learn about how a protein in wheat can impact mental health: The protein Gliadin in wheat is an opioid that causes auditory hallucinations in Schizophrenia, mania in Bipolar, angry outbursts in ADHD and the stimulation of the appetite in us all. In the video, Dr. Davis tells the story of F. Curtis Dohan who visited New Guinea many years ago before modern food came to that society. He found only one person in the whole society had Paranoid Schizophrenia. He watched the rate of Paranoid Schizophrenia go up 65 fold as Western foods, like wheat and beer became popular in this primitive country. Dohan later conducts a test in the Psychiatric ward of the VA Hospital in Philadelphia to see if wheat could have an impact on Paranoid Schizophrenia patients there. He eliminates wheat from the diet of 40 mental patients to see what happens. The patients got better over 4 weeks. Then he added back the wheat for four weeks and they got worse. Then they took it away again for 4 weeks and they got better again. Then once again, they added wheat back and the patients got worse again. The whole section is less than 5 minutes long, if you skip to 30:14 youtu.be/qeyKvCkxp2o?t=30m22s
