"Naturally fermented sourdough is less harmful than standard or unleavened wheat products, but any starch tends to stimulate appetite by activating fat synthesis. The same number of calories in fruit would be less fattening, and would keep your blood sugar steadier, improve your sleep and mental energy."
"When starch is well cooked, and eaten with some fat and the essential nutrients, it's safe, except that it's more likely than sugar to produce fat, and isn't as effective for mineral balance."

I think this forums neuroticism often allows for foods be analysed outside of its proper context. While wheat on its own may cause issues, there's nobody that's consuming wheat solely by itself. And in the event that it is fattening, it is thankfully saturated fat.
