  1. Most botanists consider spelt to be a variety of wheat Triticum
    aestivum although some give it species status. Nutritionally, they
    are the same.

    I've heard it digests better, which makes a big difference
    since poor digestion means more of it becomes fat.

    poor digestion means a lot of it passes the GI tract witout being digested
    or in other words:
    less of it "becomes fat".

    I wonder where that meme originated, and I wouldn't be surprised if "poor
    digestion can make you fart" got transformed into "poor digestion can make
    you fat" in the interests of delicacy at the expense of accuracy.
