Wheat like any grain is good for you. It is a good source of carbohydrate with some protein as well as various nutrients including iron, manganese, tryptophan and magnesium.

However in today's society, the levels of nutrients that we actually get in most wheat products are very minimal, if at all present. This is because of the processing that the wheat goes through.

To obtain the full amounts of nutrients present in the wheat grain, it is best to eat it as unprocessed as possible, hence the reason why we talk about eating whole grains.

But then when you do eat whole grains, you do need to chew the grain, processing it in your mouth to get the optimal benefits.

No, whole grains, including wheat, has been proven to have bad health effects on humans. In the words of Dr. Joseph Mercola, "Contrary to what you've been hearing for years about the nutritional value of whole grains, there's a sizeable body of scientific evidence that they frequently do more harm to your body than good. Grains contain anti-nutrients and lectins that can damage your gut. And it's the fibrous portion of the grain-the bran-that actually contains most of the anti-nutrients. These components can cause inflammation, intestinal permeability and 'leaky gut.'"

Dr. Mercola goes on about wheat: "Wheat and other glutinous grains are the worst of the bunch. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) has been found to be inflammatory, immunotoxic, cardiotoxic, and neurotoxic, and can pass through your blood-brain barrier and interfere with neurotransmitter function."

Just like with any sort of junk food, all which has been proven beyond a scientific doubt to be bad for you, if you must have whole wheat or whole grains, moderation is key. Otherwise, believing that whole grains are still good for you and relying on them as one of your main sources of nutrition can be the worst thing for your body and well-being. If someone argues that whole wheat is good for you, take it with a heaping pile of salt.

No, in general wheat is not good for you because it causes a spike in your blood sugar which causes the production of insulin which tells your body to store fat as well as bring your blood sugar to an unhealthy low. Whole wheat is better than processed white flour but still should be consumed sparingly.
