..So there it is guys, this is your challenge which I invite you to participate in. There are enough believers here to step up to the plate, but if you don’t then you and they are living in a fool's paradise being led by fools or people with an agenda other than saving the world that involves a certain self aggrandisement.
I wrote and posted the above 2 months ago, 177 replies and the post still live, where do we go from here?
My challenge was to people believing that long wheat is somehow different to short wheat and has nebulous miracle properties (I can't believe I'm writing this; however).
So believers, how has it been?
Have you been checking your numbers? Writing a log four times a day so you have evidence to present to the world keenly awaiting for the long wheat miracle?
No?
I thought so.
Post script.
This is not a diatribe against people believing that long wheat is a cure for diabetes.
I understand the craving for easy answers. I also know that Shooter George is a nice man doing his best. However my challenge still stands, if you have followed the long wheat protocol over the last two months and the results are unequivocally positive, then it is your duty to publish the your research to the benefit of the T2 diabetics worldwide.

Hmmm....I am using long wheat....I don't know about cure....may be cure will not happen..as I am not following exact Long wheat mash diet.
But what I found is ...long wheat spikes less than normal wheat...
Any one can check this at home meter..
Further I can not vouch for long wheat...as I am following both..LCHF(Which I found very logical and also got immediate results) and Long wheat( which I found reliable after checking on home meter).
It's a paradigm shift not to have grain based meals
Many just cannot even imagine such a diet
I am looked upon as a wierd kind of person if I mention of grain free meals..

It is not about the lower carbs in LW shashikantiyengar. Truth is LW or rather Emmer wheat belongs to the class of wheat known as ancient wheat, meaning that they have not been genetically modified.
Modern wheat is genetically modified and contains very high gluten, a far cry from say Biblical wheat which Yahweh himself recommended as staple food along with milk and honey. High gluten can wreak havoc on the body as we are not designed to handle that much gluten. The other 3 ancient wheat grains are
[1] Spelt (now being introduced into India by a Dutch company - a joint venture with Indian govt),
[2] Khorasan a.k.a. Kamut,
[3] Einkorn.
In Italy the general umbrella term "Farro" can apply to any or all of the 3 grains: spelt (F. grande), einkorn (F. piccolo), emmer (F. medio)
I think Kamut and Einkorn wheats are not found in India but one can order them online.
There are other grains/seeds that are ancient and mostly unmodified genetically like quinoa, chia seeds, teff,

@cure Hidden - thanks for the feedback SKY (sorry takes too long to type your name). I forgot to add that high gluten is now a high suspect in causing intestinal inflammation, intestinal permeability and the link to diabetes is there... consider the explosion in diabetes globally and if you look all the big cities... there is also an explosion in the bakery industry which is churning out genetically-modified wheat products... much of the genetically-modified wheat flour is also bleached with alloxan. Google up alloxan and you will be shocked to read that is the chemical used in the lab to induce diabetes in experimental mice, rats, etc. !!! So there are at least 2 causal culprits here... rubbing salt (alloxan) to the main injury caused by GMO wheat as they say.
Natural Health: "You may want to think twice before eating your next sandwich on white bread. Studies show that alloxan, the chemical that makes white flour look "clean" and "beautiful," destroys the beta cells of the pancreas."
I am prepared to concede that long wheat may not spike blood sugar as much a modern wheat variety, nonetheless it is still an easily digested carbohydrate. The same effect can be observed by eating resistant starches such as peas and beans, but they would hardly be offered as a 'cure' for diabetes.
Very true....even same type of effect can be created by mixing psyllium husk and fenugreek seed while grinding wheat.
But as we see calories are not calories...when we consume high fat low carbs diet....do we have answer where those extra calories goes????
I do agree carbs are carbs....but there are many ppl on net cursing modern modified grains...Wheat..
As we see there is huge increase of diabetes in India....to me reason is these modified grains...
Long wheat is unmodified wheat(besides some experiments done by Dharwad university).
I don't know about cure.....it may happen or won't.....but as I am indian....our diet is grain based (here I would like to mention that we mostly consume whole grains only) If at all I am consuming some grains...I am choosing long wheat over other grains....
I am yet to graduate to keto diet yet.
I have managed to be grain free some of the days
Really felt good
But difficult to do every day due to resistance from spouse
Very true....Infact i suggested that it will be interesting to read original scripture...and verse from the ancient text..where long wheat is mentioned as cure for diabetes......
It is said that Dutch introduced wheat to India....
And that was just 16th century...not very old....
But diabetes is known to Indians for 1000 years...But I never heard long wheat as cure prescribed in any Ayurveda scripts.
But may be mentioned in some old texts from Kerala....kerala is known for ayurveda...
I don't know what is science behind that....
But before refuting that I must give it a try.
I am also going for new castle experiment.
Let us see....
Guidance of you all....mike...you(anup) is very valuable for me.(Also shashikantjee)
Wheat has been cultivated in India at least since 6000 BC.
The Dutch never got a proper foothold in India to influence the agriculture here, and were nearly wiped out by Martand Varma of Travancore in early 1700s.
While we are at it, I came across this piece, which suggests that Lauric acid, that forms the bulk of MCTs in coconut oil, is not metabolized like its other components that bypass the lymphatic system, thus providing instant energy -
Given the track record of this chap of spinning lies to promote his brand of coffee, I am taking this assertion too with a fistful of salt. What do you think?
You did mention elsewhere that Dr. Attia consumes 30 gm of MCT oil every morning. It would be interesting to know the composition of MCT oil that he drinks. Does he respond to queries on email?
What I have read is that Lauric acid(C12) is separated from MCT oil derived from coconut, and is used in making cosmetics. The residual MCT oil which is predominantly C6, C8 and C10, is sold as dietary supplement Liquid MCT. The article claims that lauric acid doesn't bypass the lymphatic system, while the Liquid MCT does.
