Environmental Working Group made a video that was aired on PBS TV tonight.
It included a lecture by the author of Wheat Belly. He explained that the
New Wheat (GMO) is nothing like what we grew up with. Some amino acid (a
word similar to gluten) was altered and emulates opioids (or is an opioid)
so the unsuspecting junk food eater gets hooked and becomes obese. It takes
5 days of withdrawal symptoms to be done  with it. Those not aware of the
effect will get and stay fat. He recommends a wheat free diet to avoid
diabetes and heart problems related to high triglyceride levels in the
blood. Three cheers for good TV for a change thanks to EWG a Sanet-MG
member for many years and Turner Broadcasting for funding. Finally, the
truth about GMO wheat is in the news.

Glyphosate: not JUST a carcinogen
http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2015/10/glyphosate-not-just-a-carcinogen/
Sample:
"There is growing suspicion that glyphosate can act as an *antimicrobial or
antibiotic*. (Monsanto even has a patent
<http://www.google.com/patents/US7771736> for glyphosate as an
antimicrobial.) Animal model data
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23224412> demonstrate that glyphosate
selectively kills beneficial bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis,
Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus badius, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and
Lactobacillus species, while allowing the proliferation of undesirable,
even disease-causing, species such as Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella
gallinarum, Salmonella typhimurium, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium
botulinum.

Lactic acid producing bacteria that have beneficial effects, such as
lactobacilli, lactococci, and enterococci, generate bacteriocins, or
factors that suppress growth of undesirable bacterial species.
Specifically, the bacteriocins produced by lactic acid producing bacteria
help keep Clostridium species at bay, such as C. difficile that often
emerges after antibiotics are prescribed. (Farmers in Europe are even
seeing an increase in botulism in livestock due to emergence of Clostridium
botulinum that is suspected to be due to glyphosate.)
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23396248> This selective effect of
glyphosate, killing off lactic acid producing bacteria while leaving
undesirable species untouched, may be one of the ways by which humans
develop dysbiosis, or disordered growth of bowel flora, that can cause
abdominal distress, irritable bowel syndrome, the intestinal “leakiness”
that adds to risk for autuoimmune diseases, and other conditions."
