It's a weird video. Sometimes he cites a source and explains the process and thinking behind it. Sometimes he just says "Wheat with fewer chromosomes is more better". Like. OK, there's a difference between the modern GMO plant's gluten protein and the heirloom varietal's gluten, sure. But the number of chromosomes isn't really the deciding factor here. It just sounds nicer to point to a clear numerical distinction, even if its not really relevant. It's sloppy documentary work.
ChatGPT 'assisted' research, I bet. Plenty of slop images in the video, no reason to believe they stopped there
