In french (or should I say «in Québecois» which is more accurate), there is an expression that one can use when he just learned something new and of a certain value that translates as «I’ll go to bed a little less stupid tonight»(«M’a m’coucher moins niaiseux à soir») So it is in this spirit that I’m I inviting you to take a look at this week’s episode of Canada's premier investigative documentary program that never fails to probe all aspects of a subject or issue: "The Fifth Estate" , a true reference in the field for almost forty years ...
This week they were investigating the "war on wheat" and if it made sense or not. Everyone knows someone who stopped to eat wheat or all kinds of grains and / or gluten etc ... But where does this idea come from and does it really have any scientific evidence to back it up ?
If you're wondering what's the relation with “While sipping a last one" it is simply that beer contains these supposedly harmful products and any argument about beer is worth being heard, especially when it denies false truths ... or should I say : when it demolishes those who are against it to be totally clear !!!
So check it out and make up your own mind ... "THE WAR ON WHEAT"

And while you are at it, look into some of the other shows, you will surely find something else interesting as well !
Have a good week !
