years to contain to contain amylopectin A. Amylopectin A rich wheat is a super starch that rates higher on the glycemic index than table sugar. It has also been implicated in the accumulation of visceral fat. Visceral fat has been implicated in many degenerative diseases including high blood sugar and heart disease for starters. Dr. Mark Hyman, whom I respect greatly has published several articles on amylopectin A. BTW sorry this took so long to get back to. I am just getting used to all the features on the new DU.
