Friday the 13th movies are about a deranged killer called Jason who scared me to death when I was a little boy. In hindsight maybe Jason just has a wheat addiction and that is what makes him so irritable that campers having fun really gets him mad? How could wheat have this affect on someone? Well, chances are it won't be that dramatic but wheat does contain a protein called a gliadin. This protein does something most foods don't do. It interacts in your brain with the same receptor sites that opiates do. (Opiates=Morphine, Heroin, etc...) Think about that... eating wheat can have a similar effect as using hard drugs.
Wheat "users" do not get the same pain killing high but the addictive response is still there. That is why people sometimes have withdrawl like symptoms when they first stop eating wheat. It can be that powerfull. Wheat is also a powerfull appetite stimulator which of course could explain why wheat has found its way into almost all processed foods. It's like the drug dealer is dishing out breakfast cereals, protein bars, whole grain breads, or really almost anything found in the middle aisles at the supermarket. And like the drug dealer, they know you will be back for more sooner or later.
