In memory of Mother: Watch the wheat, watch the weight part thirty-five

A few years before Mother’s passing, she had mentioned how fat I had become, as well as my son.

“You need to watch it!” exclaimed Mother.

I was embarrassed. I didn’t feel like I was eating like a pig, but I truly was. Due to the long hours and stress of my job, I did indulge more than I should with fast food, especially pizza and hamburgers. I had heard rumors about not eating the bread, just the meat. I did not understand the rumors about bread consumption. Now, I do!

When it comes to man boobs, my son has them. His are not as bad as some I had seen. I had thought it was some kind of hereditary problem. I did not know it had to do with the wheat.

Here’s what causes man boobs:

Estrogen production is what creates female breasts and widening of the hips. Of course, males only have a tiny fraction of the estrogen of females, except when they have visceral fat. A bigger wheat belly in males causes more estrogen to be produce by visceral fat tissue. Since estrogen stimulates growth of breast tissue, elevated estrogen levels can cause men to develop larger breasts, those dreaded “man boobs,” “man-cans,” or the medical term, “gynecomastia.” So, what can a male do if he has gynecomastia? There is male breast reduction surgery, special clothing, compression vests and exercise programs.
