Another reason to avoid conventional wheat. We are learning more and more each day about how important gut health is.

That's another article @treebuilder, the wheat used in the United States is very different when compared to Europes wheat strains. We have more gluten containing wheat through hybridization, also from what I've read Europe has stricture rules regarding chemical applications on their foods.
