Grain Nutrition and Health Benefits. Whole grains are far more nutritious and wholesome than refined grains. Whole grains supply more vitamin E, B, and folic acid than refined grains. And they provide important minerals such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, and iron.While whole grains, such as oats, whole wheat, and brown rice, have been shown to reduce our risk of developing chronic disease, refined grains may actually increase risk. People who ate the most whole grains had significantly slower narrowing of two of the most important arteries in our body: the coronary arteries that feed the heart and the carotid arteries that feed our brain.
General Nutritional Facts of Grains. Grains are composed primarily of carbohydrates, but the quantity varies according to the type of grain. Carbohydrates account for 65 to 90 percent of the calorie content of grain. Protein usually accounts for 7 to 15 percent of the calories and the fat content, contained wholly within the germ, makes up the remainder of the calories.Table – Whole Grains Nutrition Facts.

When you’re eating oats, and you want to feel good about yourself!

Leave gluten alone man shittttt. Learn how to prepare your grains before shoving them in your fat gob
You don’t have to have celiac to have problems with grains. You can be non-celiac, but gluten intolerant, so consuming grains can cause a raft of problems, including bloating, diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, anxiety and even depression. I recommend reading the book Wheat Belly to learn more about this. Once I gave up wheat, my rash disappeared, my energy levels increased and the weight started dropping off effortlessly. These days, I mainly eat meat, fish and veg. No bread.
it’s been about two years since I had froot loops, they used to be my favorite, but after changing my diet, a bowl of steel cut oatmeal with bananas, pecans, and cinnamon sounds more appetizing
Make your own bread: Pour 3 cups of lukewarm water into a container. Add 1.5 tablespoons of yeast and a bit less than 1.5 tablespoons of salt (you can also add rosemary or other herbs here if you like). Mix it all up with around 6 cups of flour. Cover but don’t make it airtight for around 2 hours, then sprinkle the whole thing with flour and make loaves the size of grapefruit by taking each loaf and flipping the dough to the bottom of each loaf, forming a nice ball. Bake at 350 until brown.
Grain is not healthy, 35 years i eat grain, when i stop 50 pound loss and all my body function much better, what cause obesity now??? Grain, sugar??
I skip breakfast everyday and eat my first meal at 12 noon.
Oatmeal and raisins or blueberries.
No sugar. No cook. No milk.
Just water and wait 30min.
I stopped eating oatmeal, cut all grains out of my diet, i reduced my LDL, raised my HDL and my inflammation marker improved too. Oatmeal is NOT the end all-be all! Grains cause inflammation! Music sucks! Say no to statins.
such a goof, love your videos and the information is a life saver.
Everything causes inflammation to a certain extent, except greens. But as omnivorous primates we need the calories from carbs and fruit, or meat if your not vegan. Try eating greens and nothing else and see how long it takes you to die. It won’tbe a pleasant experience.
In 30 years I have not eaten a single food, nor avoided a single food due to any studies or any research. I trusted my own body and I have done extremely well compared to all my peers health-wise and performance wise. Yes I respect the best studies (a very small portion of the total database of nonsense studies, especially about advanced nutrition), but there is absolutely no substitute for real experience.
Water fasting now. Going 100 % Raw Vegan after the 2nd of january (beginning of school, ending fast there).
I cut grain out and feel better and have a flatter belly
Others should try it before they believe any video
Asians live on lots of vegetables; small amounts of rice; and virtually no sugar. Chinese egg rolls are an American invention. Westerners are obese because of overconsumption of refined carbohydrates; and excessive added sugars. Obese persons didn’t get that way from overconsumption of red meat. It was the carbs. Protein and fat are highly satiating; and will curb appetite. Carbohydrates cause blood sugar spikes addiction and bypass normal satiation mechanisms.
Something you should know folks, is that in Randomised Controlled Trials they were useless. Association studies are in comparison, useless. They don’t work.
Best video everer would recommend I watched it at school now every night I wank off to it
I cut grains from my diet four months ago feel so much better and the weight is falling off me.
Increasing whole grains jacked up my triglycerides to dangerous levels…explain that. I was better off on keto.
THIS LADY IS NUTS!!!! DOES SHE EVEN LOOK HEALTHY??? WHOLE GRAINS SUCK AND SO DOES RDA!!!! NO HEALTH BENEFITS COME FROM GRAINS.
Once you remove the bran and the germ, there’s nothing left. Stop promote the factory processed food and go as nature intended.
One size doesnt fit all.. see the problem with people is because we individually might have reactions to certain foods we then push this narrative that its bad for EVERYONE when none of us are genetically the same at all for some grains might not sit well with their digestive system due to genetics and for others such as myself their body loves grains.. When i first started eating alot of grains my digestive system was having none of it I was shitting my brains out but the human body is amazing at adapting to our habbits hence is why alcoholics developed a tolerance overtime so its the same with food another thing people dont realize is alot of whole grain products are processed so those natural nutrients are lost so its good to actually READ the nutritional value on the things your eating and look for foods that have natural vitamins in them and not added artificial crap… I know eating healthy can be pricey at times but its worth the investment because later on in life health issues are gonna cost you 30x more money than if you would have just brought the healthy nutritious stuff thats good for your body.. you think your saving money buying cheap processed foods when your only setting yourself up for medicle bills.. really sit and think about that… �� alot of people really have a hard time processing the fact that their diet is litterally killing them from the inside out then take a bunch of meds to cover it up in which provide you with a host of uncomfortable deadly side affects we are soo brainwashed in this country by packaging till its unbelieveable. The leading cause of obesity is the shitty food americans eat. We are #1 for overweight in the world
Everyone is different. Test for yourself. Get a Glucose monitor. Eat a “healthy whole grain” then test your blood sugar. 1. Before you eat and 1-2 hours after you eat a “healthy whole grain”. If you spike…then you know. If you don’t spike then it might be ok for you. I did the test and my blood sugar goes way, way up after eating something that is “supposed’ to be healthy. To me ( I can only speak for myself) Healthy is: a food that is nutrient dense and does NOT cause my blood sugar to spike. My goal is level blood sugar numbers…that is what keeps me feeling good and healthy.
what jackass would thumbs down this?! unreal…..TY DR GREGER ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!
Im feeling funky on gluten free oats lately. Ive been avoiding gluten since iv noticed brain fog a few years ago. Reviewin my research
If enriched grains are = to or better than whole grains, why is enriched white bread bad for me? Or pasta made from enriched grain? Can whole grains be swapped with enriched grain products for the same health benefits?
Sorry….There are no benefits anymore unless it was grain before we started stripping out all the goodness from food. It’s all chemicals to preserve food on shelf. Let’s not even get into the poison we can’t escape from pesticides. Sorry not buying the food pyramid anymore when it’s built to benefit agencies not people. Why on earth do we drink cows milk. It’s ridiculous think about it. What a scam.
People,why don’t you just make the bread home?I’m 21 and I make it with whole wheat flour/ oats and buckwheat flour+karob powder.As black as it can get.Still,for some time now,I feel the need to eat till I can’t move,maybe I’m addicted to bread,haha.
I have gluten sensitivity. I removed all gluten and bloating in the end of pretty much every day stopped. Also I’m completely free from light astma I occasionally used to have. And I have tried gluten products again every now and then but the bloating a couple of hours later always happens. But 1 slice of bread occasionally doesn’t seem to have much effect. However, 1 slice of bread every day does start to give effects after a week.
I tested this a lot.
I used to eat 6 slices of whole grain bread a day. But it’s just not agreeing with me anymore. And maybe it never did, I had astma in my teens. It got less after that but remembering those days, I also ate less bread. In my teens I easilly ate 10 slices of whole grain bread per day.
Instead of injecting yourself with the deadly T-virus, you can simply ingest a bunch of grains.
just go raw
seeds and these kinds of things r not supposed to make up a large portion of an ape’s diet…especially not cooked
i get stinging in my heart area if i eat pasta with gluten in it (maybe some leaky gut thingy going on the fuq do i care its shit food regardless)
Huh… I would try doing half white flour and half oatmeal… or maybe 1/4 oatmeal… I do that sometimes and I can’t even tell it’s there.
Bullshit! Gluten means in Latin Glue!
Look into the books Grain Brain and Wheat Belly!
And i feeling a lot better when i skip all gluten of my diet! No more heavy feeling on my stomach after eating gluten and not constipated anymore and a lot of other things.
Completely badass doctor. You are helping many people, blessings.
The USA Rice Federation says, “Studies show that including white or brown rice in the diet provides measureable health benefits that outweigh the potential risks associated with exposure to trace levels of arsenic.” Consumer Reports food safety experts believe those levels do carry a risk.
I love puffed amaranth. And it’s not so much easy to grow as it is hard not to grow. One of the best weeds there is
UNTIL…..NOW!!!!!!! XD I want a shirt, with your sites name, with “until now ” on it. I would 100% buy it ha
lol I got a McDonalds ad at the beginning of this video…. bad targeting…. oh well they are wasting their ad money on me.
Combination! I will combine barley, farrow, and brown rice all together!
Can you please make a video comparison between different types of grains!
Thank you,
I love your use of the green screen. Such goofy entertainment!
Yeah, I’m minimizing whole grains and my wife, son and daughter are celiac with leaky gut. The medical establishment, of which you are a part, is responsible for the obesity and diabetes epidemics by pushing whole grains.
He should read grain brain,most grains are toxic to the body.
Question: does our fruit and veggie consumption add to gut flora/ biome. And if so does freezing the produce affect the richness they provide? Or is it the fiber content only of these foods, not destroyed by freezing? Ty
Humans didn’t evolve to eat whole grains. We are hunter gatherers. We humans dont like to be come the hunch back of notredame
I thought I had gluten sensitivity for about a year ago. I was convinced; I had eczema-like rashes on several parts of my body and my bowel movements were terrible. So I went on a gluten-free diet for 3 months and nothing changed. Frustrated, I added back in gluten and my symptoms didn’t get any worse. Then it dawned on me after reading up on casein allergies (main protein found in dairy): I couldn’t tolerate casein. Long story short, I gave up dairy and in two weeks my symptoms subsided and got better and better. My rashes are gone and my bathroom time is a lot more serene. I hope I can help someone out there because I was miserable for a lot of years.
Bullshit. Asians live off of refined grains. They’re skinny and live to be 100.
Whole grains can be unhealthy… glyphosate, bromine, etc. plus gluten, etc.
Poor mishkas, if you want to get fat like livestock, you eat grain like livestock.
Dr GregerI just read your book and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Thank you so so so much. It is hands down the best book I have ever read. I have made so many more changes to my diet that I am really excited about. I have been plant based for 5+ years and had so much room for improvement still! Thanks in advance for making such an impact on my long term health!
I really liked the professionalism of the production of the video series, and I am very grateful for the information in this format, but the Dr. Gregor head popup is really a distraction. I liked the audio emphasis he’s used in the past, but the video effect is jarring, distracting and only takes away from the message rather than adding to it. I really like the very professional nature of the videos… until now…
So the massive amounts of legumes, sweet potatoes, bananas, nuts and seeds (including quinoa and chia) are doing nothing for my gut health? That’s really disheartening. I don’t eat much rice and when I do I try to stick with bismati because of its lower arsenic content. I love brown rice but it’s just loaded with arsenic and my “gut” (heh) tells me that might not be the best plan. Suggestions?
If i eat grains i get flare ups of Psoriasis, if i stick to fruits and veggies it clears up. Some peoples gut lining cannot handle grains.
Why would we not think that eating a variety of whole grains and whole, plant foods is good for our entire bodies, gut flora included? The data is a nice reinforcement, but do we really need all this to tell us common sense based dietary info. It only makes sense that isolated fiber doesn’t help the gut flora, there’s no easy ways out. We have to eat well for sustained period and if so we can reap short and long-term the benefits. Most of us won’t even be able to appreciate the bounty until we get old and we look around to all the sick people our age and go how many friends and family members have died prematurely. Think about the long game
261. The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower. (Q.S. 2: 261)
I just had the best whole grain pumpkin pancakes, with coconut based cheese.
Dr. Greger I have been eating a whole food plant based diet for the past 6 months. I hardly ever eat any processed foods and if I do it will be very rare, for example I will have a vegan pizza from the takeaway (pizza dough, tomato sauce and veggies on top… no cheese of course) and this happens maybe once a month AT THE MOST. I never eat refined sugars. I eat a spoon of flax seed every day. I take a vitamin B12 supplement every other day. I eat blueberries every day on my morning porridge (I think Americans say oatmeal) made with water. I try and eat broccoli every day. My diet is so healthy, I cook everything I can from scratch using fresh ingredients. I exercise at least 4 or 5 times a week… when I say exercise I mean I will run for 30 minutes straight and lift weights in the gym, not just a gentle walk or anything like that. But I have a problem… I have severe bloating that is persistant and I am unsure what triggers it. I have been to the doctors, they just brush it off and say it is IBS, but before I switched to a plant based diet I never suffered with any digestion issues. The cramps I am having are sometimes so painful I can’t walk. My period has stopped and I don’t know what to do. I never want to go back to eating meat, eggs or dairy because since reading your book and watching your videos I am aware of the health implications of doing so and of course I am against the animal cruelty that produces these products. But I just wish there was some explanation as to why my body has reacted in this way. I have not exercised for the past couple of days because the bloating is so bad… I literally look pregnant my belly expands so much! I hardly ate yesterday (I had a small bowl of oatmeal for breakfast around 6am with banana, blueberries, ground flax seed and cinnamon, then i had a small bowl of butternut squash soup at about 6pm… thats all I had) and I woke up this morning with a massive bloated belly. I am wondering what might be causing it, and are there any cases you know of where peoples bodies have reacted in a similar way? I would have thought after 6 months that my body would have adjusted by now.:(
thanks…
every time I watch one of your video’s i hang out for the….. until now.
Sounds good…but what about the flour? I think the idea is to stay away from regular flour, and finding whole grain flour is impossible unless you live in a large city that sell those kinds of products. When I was in college in NYC, there used to be kiosks for every foreign group of people and the foods they ate in the country they came from. It was great. But now I live in the country, and the pickings are mighty slim! There used to be farms here…but nobody farms anymore, thanks to Monsanto!
Dr Peter Osborne is the expert on this subject and he is against ALL grains in cases of autoimmune disease. including corn and rice!
I now do GREAT eating organic whole grain foods. Interestingly, I used to get severely bloated with oatmeal, but I think gut flora was reset when I ate a lot of raw fruits and vegetables, especially salads and bananas. Now oatmeal doesn’t bother me any more. Coincidence?
My greatgrandmother ate whole wheat flour products everyday and lived 85/90+
Grains have terrible Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. I try to avoid all grains as much as possible. If I eat grains, I do eat rice or wild rice, and once in a Blue Moon, when I crave sandwich I eat gluten free (I am still waiting to take the test).
High grain diet cause thyroid, cholestrol, joints, increase insulin or sugar. Eat low carb with good protein, tons of veggies and small fruit and zero sugar. Weight melt off, pains are gone, no bloating, no tiredness, no day time sleeping, sharp focus mind.
I stopped eating grains and my acid reflux disappeared, dandruff gone, bloating is gone, grains are inflammatory
So false, I mean some grains are ok for people, some arent. You cant just gereralise like that
Do i need to be concerned about the phytate content in oats? I tend to add uncooked oats to smoothies, but now worried I’m undoing all my mineral absorption. Reading conflicting things online… that oats have to be soaked, that soaking actually achieve minimal phytate reduction… What to do?
I develop gluten sensitivity in these last years. Never had it before. Now, every time I consume gluten I have cramps and a number of symptoms. I would like to learn more about this but could not locate your vídeo about it. Can you please help me?
grain is frankenfood. you don’t need to eat the crap. I’m vegan and grain free. some rice and quinnoa only
Diesnt it increase the glycemic index?
Isnt that inflamitory?
If I eat corn or wheat I get double vision with my m.s
I was trying to figure our what grains are not genetically modified, what ones I can eat, instead this video was just telling people that get inflation to grain that they are ling. There are a lot of studies that show gmo grain as inflammatory, so I guess I’ll keep looking
When it comes to bread, I’m still confused as to whether whole grain flour is as good as whole grains? I am able to get flour-less from Trader Joe’s and I’m thinking that’s the best way to go.
I get that a certain portion of the population didn’t acquire the ability to digest grains, but I absolutely thrive on them!
Dr Gregor looks great for a 65 year old.
But I won’t go vegan
This guy keeps it very simple but has a good explanation of why people who are not Celiac, may still have an intolerance to proteins in other grains. Doing a food elimination diet or biofeedback session will help you figure out if you have any issues with one or more different grains:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6UxKB-hSZNo
If we follow every diet we eliminate all foods except possibly a few vegetables, a very few in fact. I know some folks are grain sensitive and I’ve cut many grains to reduce glycemic index and gluten. Evidence based research does suggest that fiber in a whole grain diet reduces the chances of some cancers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3312721/
For those that claim the facts please add you research to help us sort through the conflicting views. There is a wealth of journal articles, research, and now even personalized medicine to work from (e.g. 23 and me vs. Dietary response).
Then you ask, how come no one told me about this years ago!!!???!!!!!
Because the truth doesn’t make money. Drugs and the SAD do.
Thank you, Dr. Gregor for sharing these priceless pieces of information that is truly life saving.
Gluten makes me feel sooo bad and makes it feel like I’m digesting rocks. Buckwheat and oatmeal are fine tho
Super food? Kept me sick for 15 years with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I finally figured out it was the grains. Went from nearly bedridden to completely healthy with high energy, once I cut wheat, and then all grains. Last year I had a single bowl of oatmeal, and it put me bed for 3 days with extreme fatigue and body aches. I dont have celiac. Have been tested, even genetic tests. I dont have IBS or any kind of digestion issue. The “healthy whole grain” myth needs to die. The latest research trends are showing that excessive grain based food consumption is at the core of the american health epidemic. Cholesterol also has never been proven to cause heart disease. 5 decades of research has failed to prove this terrible hypothesis. Whole grains are NOT heart healthy, if anything, the strongly correlate to heart disease. This modern/recent 42 EU country study shows exactly which foods correlate to heart disease the most. ANSWER: cereals/grains!
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27680091
the scientific literature has not tried to digest grains and i have
Bollox, grains do cause inflammation. I had eczema for 15 years but since giving up wholemeal pasta, bread and muesli last year, it’s totally gone.
To briefly say it. grains do cause inflammation. Because there are a lot of anti nutrients in grains; not just gluten, others are lectin, gladian,… And whole grain have more of the anti-nutrients along with more nutrients also.
The problem is that people have different levels of sensitivity to grains. And the sensitivity tends to increase with time. So if you conduct an experiment with people who are in perfect health and weight, you will definitely not detect a problem; but that doesn’t means the problem is not building up.
On the other hand, if you conduct the experiment with people who have some kind of fragile health; they will show signs of inflammation.
Yes whole grains do cause inflammation with time when eaten on a regular basis.

So you’re trying to defend your family’s Wheat Farm? Even whole wheat is still garbage; just a tad less garbagy than white flour.
I eat grains and meat and fruit and vegetables and I’m still alive. So is my friend of 86 years.
Wow! What a discussion! Lots of info. Anyone follow or have opinions on Wheat Belly Dr Davis’s views?
Getting off wheat and grains and lower carbs basically made me lose 40 lbs and no longer need cholesterol meds.
Most of the bread sold in the US is not “Whole Grain” and has the same glycemic load as white bread. Also Whole Grains contain lectins that destroy our endocrine system slowly
All this science is outdated
And grains are bad in america dur to the hybridization and gmos
from a scientific level yes grains do have natural toxins in them to prevent most animals from eating them. Even soaking and fermenting people can be sensitive to them. They are basically just ”carbs” very low nutrient bio-a value. Sweet potatoes squash etc are healthier starches #omnivorestrong
You said wheat is genetically engineered. There is currently no commercially grown GMO wheat. Google it.
Paleo diet is the ultimate diet. Dairy,grains and legumes are not made for human consumption. Be aware!
All Whole grains are grains but not all grains are whole grains. If you didn’t understand read again but this time more slowly.
Lies! Grains are the cause of all these fat kids getting diabetes.
In this randomized clinical trial, 50 subjects diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome were randomly divided into two groups (n=25). The first group received a GFD and the second group continued their regular diet. Biochemical markers of MES and blood pressure were measured before and after 8-week intervention. Results: The Gluten Free Diet reduced fasting blood glucose, waist circumference (WC) and serum triglyceride concentration significantly compared with the control diet. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6291063/
Mice studies show similar results: Gluten-free diet reduces adiposity, inflammation and insulin resistance associated with the induction of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma expression. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23253599. Wheat gluten intake increases weight gain and adiposity associated with reduced thermogenesis and energy expenditure in an animal model of obesity. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26443339
I like the caveat about gluten? So grains are great so long as they are not the grains that are sold in every shop in every western country? This guy is more cult than cultured.
Wheat is it a Friend or Foe?

My bread is whole SPROUTED grains. And I eat oatmeal once sometimes twice a day.
I just subscribed. Love how your videos are smart, informative and to the point. You also have a beautiful voice. Thank you.
In the study cited, was the consumption of whole grain compared with diets that were completely grain free?? Because if not, chances are you’re comparing two types of diet where one is higher in whole grain and the other higher in REFINED GRAIN, which is meaningless when attempting to establish the effect of all grain versus none.
ive heard grains are bad for you and that fibers are death please answer
this is a great channel, it’s not always to find useful references to scientific articles!!:)
thanks!
Wait, to clarify, is this saying breads and tortillas are healthy? I need to be sure.
“Quaker Oats can now say that it’s good for heart health.” Of course then, can…but they do not advertise that those studies use the slow cooking variety in about a 7/8 cup serving that has not been drenched in sugar-which many of the off the shelf versions have. Not all oats are created equal! DO NOT believe the heart-healthy symbol on all oatmeal products, as it is a marketing tool to make the American Heart Association money, rather than to help consumer health. WHY? Just check all the sugary kids’ cereals that have the symbol.
There is much more research pointing to the positive benefits of groats and steel cut oats than the other processed forms-especially when considering that most of the quick-cooking varieties have heaps of sugar added to them. If interested in the heart-healthy benefits, go for oatmeal that takes 15+ minutes to cook..no matter what the label says. As seeing is believing, here are a few breadcrumbs for those who are interested (i.e., for those who want to denounce my opinions are not rooted in fact or research).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26330200
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29913230
Also, the processing form not only effects oats but other grains such as buckwheat (another healthy alternative):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26024399
I am so confused now. When I stopped eating gluten products my inflammation marker went from 1250 to 53. I don’t have Celiac and was tested negative for gluten allergies and sensitivities. I have however, ulcerative colitis. Can someone help please?
Total rubbish I suffer with RA and grains make it far worse.
lol I’m sorry, white rice increasing the chance of type 2 diabetes? Yeah maybe if you ate white rice with meat and dairy. If white rice increased the chance of type 2 diabetes, then why doesn’t most of china have type 2 diabetes?
What about Scottish oats? On the packet it says it has no minerals and vitamins.
Eziekiel Bread is sprouted grains. Eat lots of that along with 2 bowls of oatmeal evert day, with berries, amla, pumpkin spices, cardamom,black pepper, almonds, peppermint leaves, kidney beans, ground flaxseed, sometimes ground sunflower seeds, purple sweet potato, and carob powder. Pack as much nutrition in 1 bowl. No wheat belly, no weight gain, blood work gets better and better each time I go to Dr’s. Every 6 months. If have gluten problem, heal gut bacteria 1st, with whole food plants, and tons of antioxidant/fiber rich food, then slowly add some sprouted whole grains. Worked for me.
now hes coming up with studies saying that grains are bad due to high content of arcenic
I avoid unsprouted grains like the plague that they are, and live quite healthfully on a plant based diet with plenty of cultured dairy from relaxed cows that aren’t injected with crack.
Beyond people with celiac disease, there are a lot of people with “gut issues”. Many of them will feel better and do better avoiding some grains. It is an individual thing. This is why there are all those diets and variants telling people to avoid grains-because the person who started it felt better if they avoided grains. In my case I’m fine with oatmeal and white rice (well except for the arsenic), but not brown rice.
There are no benefits to whole grains. Cut out grains and sugar and you will lose weight guaranteed. Whenever I see that MyPlate garbage, which is bought and paid for by the wheat and corn (HSFC) growers, I want to scream. Head of USDA is the former governor of Iowa. Enough said.
Watch out for whole wheat if you are insulin resistant or diabetic see for yourself

I believe environment also plays an effect. If your parents are eating unhealthy, you are at risk for doing the same.
It is only the large intestine that inflames, preventing efficient absorbing of nutrients. So many people are bloated, and wonder why. Than, gluten was the new ennemy, and was taken out of everyone’s diet for no reason. It is the grains. You need to eat more to absorb less, and there goes the snowball.
Dr greger says whole grains are not inflammatory. But we all know that refined grains our very inflammatory. So whole grains are fine as long as you don’t refine them which means bread is out and white rice is out and given the amount of arsenic in brown rice it’s out as well. So what whole grains is it possible to eat without having to grind it up?
Dr why do grains make me feel ravenous. If I want to lose weight and decrease my appetite all I need to do is delete grain. If I eat even brown rice in the morning it will make me ravenous all day and I will overeat.
grains are the worse thing to eat but if you have a body used to them must be carefull if you abandon them. to be an ant or a communist was a lie of a small group of people and that was the old religion that we are trying to leave together with his dogs of snail calves meat or cheese cockraches cows etc…
Trying to decide what is the best type of carbohydrates to eat can be confusing. Are you better off eating vegetables or grains? The general consensus is both vegetables and whole grains are healthy but if your goal is to lose some weight, I would choose vegetables.
I agree 100% with this doctor. I buy only organic grains and make my own breads with whole wheat grains that I grind myself. My large family stopped getting seasonal allergy reactions and we’re healthier since I started doing it 25 years ago. I heard so many doctors make bad claims about grains, especially wheat, without any evidence and knowledge nor practicing it. Why do we listen to doctors about nutrition anymore? They stopped learning about foods and nutrition in medical schools in the past 30 yrs.
You just pull random pages… don’t trust your sources I’ll stick with dr berg/gundry works very well for me I’m much healthier because of them
I am allergic to gluten including the skin reaction, not formally diagnosed. If someone told me I had to eat gluten for a month before they could test me I would say NO! and punch them in the face! I am also not stupid enough to try reintroducing gluten to my diet every year. That would consistently damage my organs and cause me great suffering, for what? for wheat? for science? that is total bullshit. If you were allergic to penicillin would they tell you to try reintroducing it to your body every year? Hell no.
inflammation is not bad. Inflammation is a necessary process of healing. chronic inflammation is bad.
fruit loops seems high in sugar. what about wholegrain bread or brown rice cakes? they seem as they can be digested fast. I don’t know if they are good for your well being. would be nice to know
Every time I tried to eat oats, rice and beans in my life, my intestines got inflamed, felt like crap and i got fat. Whenever i eat animal products i loose my inflammatory symptoms, i get energy and get ripped. Everyone is different. And I would rather be vegan because I don’t even like meat and love grains but they don’t love me.
What about Amylopectin A in wheat and its effect on blood sugar, lectins, phytic acid and mycotoxins? It could be wise to get resistant starches from other sources. Or maybe after healing the gut, occasional grain consumption for diversity won’t be as damaging.
I am mostly vegan. My body LOVES whole grains (small quantities.) Eat mostly greens, fruit, limited b12/omega3 sources. Avoid all processed sugars and foods completely for four years. Ferman GBOMS greens, beens onions mushrooms, salad. Try that for great health and steady energy.
almost 13,000 views and only 466 thumbs up….WTF? These are wonderful and informative videos… they are free and well presented. Oh well, got my “thumb up” 466+1 = 477
MD’s have little or no training in medical nutrition, they are trained in ALLOPATHIC medicine and don’t even know how to cure heartburn. They are servants to big pharma and best avoided…
what about Dr. Asa Andrew. he has his own radio show and he routinely tells everyone not to eat grains to go on his special anti-inflammatory diet which means no grains. Does he or does he not know what he’s talking about
I had Psoriasis which cleared up with the plant based diet…..
Read Wholegrains Empty Promises by Anthonly Colpo and you’ll realize that this video is utter rubbish
This is rant without substance. Shame on you 80/10/10 as you do Dr Greger an injustice. His arguments are sound and represent the leading counter to the LCHF that is on the rise, yet your editing makes him simply sound like he is whining. Disappointing.
Lots of none GMO, ancient grains available…kamut, spelt, einkorn, emmer, barley, rye. Enjoy!
my friend started taking a bowl of oatmeal 5x per week and his cholesterol dropped from 275 to 220 without increasing his exercise regime.
omg. all these foods that’s good n bad. over it. today is good tomorrow is bad
Be right back, I’m gonna go inject some whole grains into my body.
I dont drink sugary drinks or soda but I have diabetes now. Grains cause me to swell up and raise my blood sugar.
lol, it cracks me up when Dr. Gregor makes an appearance in the videos.
When I eat a loaf of bread ( believe me I’ve done it) I get the most incredible pain and my stomach will stretch out twice its size making it difficult to breath for 2 to 4 hours. When I have a 2 cup bowl of gluten free pasta….the same thing happens. I don’t buy the gluten free stuff I just can’t see the difference.
Grains are only bad if you have digestive problem’s or sick with disease like IBD, Colitis, or Crohn’s. During a flare they may cause delayed repair and relapse but meat, dairy and eggs are much worse.
If they can ‘strip’ away all the good parts…why not give us those?
Eat plant based whole foods. If you’re naturally skinny and/or an athlete you can eat more grains and potatoes. If you naturally hold fat, cut them down/out. All of these comments make me sick. Everyone is different. We should all eat a shit ton of veggies, fruit, and fungi. If you need more calories, eat grains. After you become diabetic, your body doesn’t process sugars and starches as well BECAUSE OF THE FAT BLOCKING insulin receptors. You should eat mainly vegetables and fungi (some low glycemic fruit) at this point, but the lipids will be cleared in time. Eventually, grains can be reintroduced. That is if you have type 2. Type 1 is caused by environmental factors (stress, smoking, whatnot) and gene expression. A study in India proved plant based whole food diets along with stress managment (meditation and breathing exercises A.K.A. oxygen therapy) to down regulate 452 “bad” genes and up regulate 48 “good” genes in over 50 cancer patiets with no radiation, surgery, or chemo. Not all of the bad genes were cancer related, but rather diabetes type 1 and other diseases. My sister beat stage 4 liver cancer with a change in diet (not even vegan, but whole foods, but I still reccomend avoiding animal products for heart health and preventing t2d), oxygen therapy, and meditation/prayer. Read some scholarly journals with your own eyeballs instead of blogs and second hand articles, you uneducated, blathering guppies.

Despite popular opinion wheat consumption may not be beneficial to health. Hemp nuts and hemp protein are the answer humanity seeks… http://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/wheat
You forgot to mention they all contain a protein called gluten/lectine which permanently damage your gut causing several immune system reactions.
Erase the word whole grains food from your diet, we were never meant to eat them
Grains indeed caused me inflammation…when I used to eat meat. Now I digest them even better than fruits. Damn sick meat-loving bias doesn’t see the elephant in the room
sponsored by Monsanto, Doc? gluten is really harmful and I disagree with your opinion of coconut oil and coconut based products
But if you already HAVE diabetes is the High Carb element a reason to stay away?
Try telling this to Vinnie Tortorich! He’s no sugar and no grains.
I needed to see this, after going back and forth on the issue… Thank you so much!!!
But when I eat grains like wheat, rice I get inflamed… I think people need to go with what their body is telling them…..and avoid accordingly…. maybe there is another cause but untill I find that cause I di better without the grains. I a also on a no oil plant based diet… so only plants, veggies, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruits…. no night shades….
This is actually dangerous advice (to eat whole grains).
Modern grains are just processed junk only recently introduced within the industrial era (the grains eaten prior to that point were VASTLY different) and are all GMO, pesticide ridden, gluten loaded, junk food.
The opposite of what Gregor is saying is actual true, if you remove grains from your diet than it becomes as effective as taking a drug. The problem is that grains are extremely addictive (thanks to their opioid like addictive compounds) hence why almost everyone (even those with lot’s of diseases) eat whole grains/wheat bread on a daily basis yet still remain sick.
There is absolutely nothing that is beneficial in grains that you can not find in abundance in other natural plant based foods, especially dark green leafy vegetables.
I’ve been grain free for over a week now and I feel at such ease it’s amazing. The benefits from removing grains can be potentially life saving for some people.
Isn’t there a video Dr. Greger produced called, “What about the China study?” In the video he cited that the meat consumption tripled in 2000. White rice and fruit lower all those diseases. DON’T ARGUE UNTIL YOU WATCH, PLEASE!
Love gluten. Bread is an important part of human history. Respect it.
your videos are so addictive to watch! ive watched at least 20 in the last few hours! thank you so much for this interesting contentim trying to better myself, and food is a major part of that:)
Whole grains are not healthy, this guy is an MD and has no training in food nutrition. He serves big pharma.
I understand this, the whole food chain is infected on some level with the GMO tech. Then add the chemicals that are sprayed on the crops, add to this the residues from the chemtrails you are doomed to eat grain at all.We live in a different time not the 1960’s. We are in a very toxic toxic era. And please do not forget Fukisima, we are getting radiation from Japan. You can eat your grains but I wont.
Dr. Gregor, Does the high arsenic content in brown rice make it comparatively worse than white rice, say, if eaten regularly with a vegetarian stir fry?
True! Grains are the biggest disaster! All processed food is!!! go raw
Whole Grains > Whole Wheat > White “bread”.
Grains are healthy and should be a part of the diet. Obesity is an issue in America because of the overabundance of refined “grains”, creams, cheeses, red meats, processed foods, fast food, refined sugars, soda, etc.
Don’t say “Grains are causing the obesity” when there exists quinoa, brown rice, whole grain breads, barley, oats, etc (Food from nature) those aren’t causing it it’s the WonderBread, Mcdonald’s, and Coke.
lower than eating the white rice, NOT lower than eating NONE OF IT. SKIP the grains and you will drop your risk dramatically. This is styled to make it LOOK as if eating whole grains are actually GOOD FOR YOU.. but they are NOT! Listen closely and actually LOOK at the study and you will see the truth.
just make your own bread at home so you have complete control of what’s in it. it’s fun and with a little experimentation you can come up with a bread that you really like rather than settling for something from a store. the house i live in has an old stove and the oven doesn’t work. still, i make good bread in a cheap convection toaster oven. lots of rosemary leaves from a nice houseplant in the crust. smells great.
I’ve seen “Gluten Free” on the most absurd things! Tea bags, Rice, Cheese, Peanut Butter, and other things that would OBVIOUSLY not contain wheat, barley, or rye. It’s turned into some kind of marketing fad to the point where whenever people see something labeled Gluten Free, they think it’s healthy to consume.. Even if they aren’t allergic to it.
And….let’s not forget…without grains, most humans on this planet would STARVE TO DEATH. It is all this PROCESSING of grains that is causing disease. Cookies, uh…biscuits in the UK, anyone?
i don’t think i am a grain guy. I eat white rice when I don’t have enough fruit because a big portion of brown rice hurts my tummy. taters are the best, but you can’t beat a 20lb bag of rice for 10 bucks
Inb4 dozens of Paleo dieters start screaming about lectins, phytic acid, and other assorted topics they don’t understand. Merry Christmas, Dr. Greger.
What about Millet instead of rice? It would be good to know. There are a few statements online saying millet does not pick up arsenic from the soil like rice does. I would love to know if there are test to validate whether that is true or not.
Human health is more complicated then just whether you eat whole grains or not.
My wife is gluten sensitive; does not have celiac disease. Through experiments ( on ourselves ), we found a wheat that is from ancient wheat, prior to massive hybridization / genetic modification: Einkorn wheat flour. She can tolerate it. There are ancient wheat grains being grown now as well. This may help some viewers.
So is bread a refined carb or not? What exactly is a whole grain wheat product?
Actually no not even close. the undigested proteins in the wheat get into your intestines. they are undigested and harm your villi. Enough of this happening will lead to you having no villi and no way to absorb nutrients which will quickyl devolve into a diseased state since you can’t get nutrients. Nutrient deficiency is the cause of all disease
doesn’t that further prove how good the fiber in whole grains are? Can’t digest fiber, there for it helps push out all that other junk in your intestines out?
actually whole grains are the least digestible food on the market today and 60% of all people are intolerant to them.
Thank you, my concern came from Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis.
I heard Wheat in any form is bad… shouldn’t it be excluding whole wheat?
Could you elaborate, what part about phytic acid is being misunderstood?
where do you live? Here in germany you find it everywhere, almost more often than “normal” bread
You’ll want to bake at 450, not 350, to get the loaf brown:)
You do NOT need a hearth: all you need is a regular oven. Preparation of nutritious food is a fairly simple matter, and thinking you “need” complicated equipment (such as a hearth) only postpones-or worse, *prevents*-taking steps to carry out that preparation.
I don’t eat whole grains unless it’s fermented due to the phytic acid.
bb3xhrhj is just going to lie in bed for seven days. He/she will be so weak after 7 days without food, he might even reach nirvana!
Well I never had digestive issues before I started eating Oatmeal everyday my stomach would bloat and hurt all the time
All have high levels of phytic acid. Extremely bad for hormones.
I bet the grain berries such as wheat berries have even more phyto-nutrient content than any kind of bread from the crushed berries. I’m gonna start cooking that up.
It didn’t mention whether these whole grains are cooked or raw. What effect does high heat have on these grain nutrients? And what about sprouted grains?
Can anyone cite for me one single scientific study which has compared a diet high in whole grain to a diet COMPLETELY GRAIN FREE???
I bought some lentils to make soup and put them in a bowl to soak overnight. The bags of dried lentils were fairly small, so I thought I’d need two for my crock pot. I forgot about them in the bowl, for about four days. When I remembered, I thought “I’ll bet they’re spoiled”. They hadn’t. They had increased in size 5 fold and were sprouting. So I ate them raw! Sprouting grains or lentils or beans make great anti-oxidants! Buy raw grains and let them soak…forget about them for a few days.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705319/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21224837
It’s just not easy to find whole grain breads in supermarkets. I paid $4 for a loaf of 12 grain bread that looked nutritious….until I read the ingredients. Yes, there are whole grains in it…you can see them, but otherwise it’s just the same fake wheat bread with all the chemicals. I need a hearth so I can make my own!
Couldnt make it past the 6 second mark, the music made me want to die
This week’s most popular video covered why people who think they may be gluten sensitive should NOT just go on a gluten-free diet.
Watch below or click the link to watch on NutritionFacts.org: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gluten-free-diets-separating-the-wheat-from-the-chat/
If anything whole grain foods bind to vitamins and minerals and block absorption which can make an already micronutrient deficient diet WORSE!
Moderation in all things, I have a wheat allergy if I eat too much bread, my body is my barometer of the physical. However, in Europe we have fought against American GMO for decades. The body was meant to process food, not eat processed food, and I like to make my own bread sometimes,, at least then I know what is in it. RICE IS VERY DIGESTIBLE, especially for children and when people get older. I make no-yeast bread, it’s the yeast that is often the real issue.
Is the rise in NK cell activity really a good thing? A pathogen would cause a similar rise in activity, but we wouldn’t say it’s improving the immune system…
Wheat and other grains are good for you? Ok.
-Wheat Interferes with Vitamin D
-Gluten is directly toxic to intestinal cells: it inhibits cell proliferation, increases cellular oxidation products, and changes membrane structure. In the body, gluten changes the structure of the intestine: it reduces the height of villi, decreases the depth of crypts, and decreases enterocyte surface.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9989255?dopt=AbstractPlus
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10207218?dopt=AbstractPlus
-Gluten sabotages the gut, reducing its surface area and impairing digestion.
As all toxins do, gluten inspires an immune response. This immune response helps to clear the gluten
from the intestine, preventing a buildup of toxins; however, in the process it makes the intestine inflamed.
This inflammation kills intestinal cells and makes the gut leaky.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17519496?dopt=AbstractPlus
http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.ca/2008/05/gluten-links-from-bloggeier.html
There appear to be four levels of immune response to wheat:
1. About 83 percent of the population may have an inflammatory reaction to partially digested wheat
gluten.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17519496?dopt=AbstractPlus
2. About 30 percent of the population develops anti-wheat-gluten antibodies locally in the intestine.
http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.ca/2008/12/gluten-sensitivity-celiac-disease-is.html
3. About 11 percent of the population develops systemic (circulating throughout the body) antibodies to
wheat gluten.
4. About 0.4 percent of the population develops systemic auto-antibodies that attack not only wheat
gluten but also human cells in the intestine, thyroid, pancreas, and elsewhere.
This last group is diagnosed with celiac disease. With the immune system attacking and killing gut cells,
the intestine can be damaged to the point that sufferers have difficulty absorbing needed nutrients.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16214317?dopt=AbstractPlus
-Wheat Consumption May Reduce IQ; Rice Consumption Does Not
In Japan, most families eat rice as their staple grain, but some families eat wheat.
Japanese children who eat rice for breakfast have “larger regional gray matter volumes of several regions”
of the brain and higher IQ scores than Japanese children who eat wheat for breakfast. The IQ difference was
substantial: verbal IQ was 3.4 points higher in the rice group and total IQ was 3.8 points higher.56
The difference between eating rice and wheat could account for most of the IQ difference between Asians
and Americans.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21170334?dopt=AbstractPlus
There’s more than this, but you get the point. Also, when you look at neolithic skeletons from the agricultural era
They had major health issues.
-Average height dropped
-Smaller tendon attachments
-Bone and teeth pathologies / cavities / osteoporisis / hypoplasias
-Increased infection & inflammation
everyone is going on a gluten free diet.
say goodbye to your grains
@g9g9g9 It’d be wonderful if you could post it to this specific video on nutritionfacts. org. This way more people benefit from the response, and I can actually provide you with links (which I can’t do on Youtube). Thanks!
I just watched a video where someone said that oatmeal causes inflammation. Yet this person is a ‘proteinaholic’ who promotes eating meat and eggs ���� WHAAAT?!?
I personally do well eating rice. wheat and corn both fuck up my stomac
Glad I’m not sensitive to wheat lol I could eat pasta all day and whole wheat bread or white bread all day long and I have sometimes and I feel amazing on wheat absolutely amazing I really wish everyone could feel so good eating wheat it’s so tasty.
I found this TEDx speach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6JrHteOsII. Can you comment on it?
Healthy? Bullshit. Whole grains are slightly less horrible than processed white flour. But they will horrendously raise your blood sugar; and why would anyone want to do that? The glycemic index is higher than a candy bar. I’d ditch them altogether. Get your fiber from vegetables. Eat whole grains only if you want to be obese; diabetic and get tooth decay.
3:10
i bet it increases killer-cell activity because the cells fight the fucking gluten
…i bet u wouldnt brush that under the rug if it was an animal product causing the killer-cell activity to spike
It’s a shame that the healthier I am, the more fertile. More reason to get a hysterectomy
Almost a year ago, I switched to a naturopathic doctor, who had me take a very thorough blood test. The results came back that I have a gluten & fructose intolerance. So, since then, I’ve avoided gluten & most fruits; which may sound nuts since I’m a vegan, I do take a Vitamin B, B12 & D supplement.
But I feel so much better now. I no longer have acid reflux, or GI discomforts, I’ve lost weight easily, my cholesterol has dropped by 80 points and counting, and my blood pressure has dropped too. Over the course of the year, I have eaten a bagel once, and another time a plum, from a tree growing in my yard, both times I had a terrible GI reaction. My doctor said it was OK to try these things from time to time, as a reminder of why, I’m avoiding gluten & fructose. This may not be for everyone, but it certainly has worked wonders for me.
Modern wheat is toxic. Try cutting wheat out of your diet if you have IBS or IBD, and you will know if you are one of the Many that are affected by it.
20 parts per million can be toxic to someone with celiac??? im CLEARLY not gluten intolerant then…good to know since ive just gone vegan and was finding it hellish to find wheat substitutes:: hello seitan gyro!!!!��������
Thanks for your unique insights on the nature of whole grains. Keep up the great work. Elevating awareness is going to be essential to changing the way we grow our food. Supporting organic famers and stores is going to be a priority as we reclaim the health of the ecosystem, our youth and prosperity for future generations. Becoming conscious of the necessity to invest in our nations farmers rather then the pharmaceutical industry is going to be at the bedrock of evolving this world. Thanks for you guidance awareness is the most empowering thing we can give ourselves and others.
There has to be a huge difference between intact whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, etc., and whole wheat rolls. Why wouldn’t he remark on that?
There are better ways of testing for celiac disease than packing the diet with gluten and destroying the patient’s gut (and causing neurological damage). Lots of misinfo and bad logic in this video.
cereal is a joke…it used to say made with whole wheat grains…now it just says “whole grains”, and you go read the ingredients…sure enough “whole grain corn” what the FUCK is whole grain corn!!!
Gluten free is another little bitch diet. Most idiots on this diet don’t even know what CD is. Just a bunch of posers trying to follow a trend.
it might be due to GMO gluten products and not necessarily just wheat wheat.
do you even consider that it is common practice to use round up (gmo) on wheat?
Gluten makes one dull and fat and if you really look into it the word gluten which means ‘glue’ actually acts like glue in your guts.
Why Gluten free?
The word gluten comes from the Latin word meaning glue. A human’s digestive tract has structures small hair like structures that gluten can interfere with by flattening them and behaving like glue. Causing things like bloating, gas and a drop in energy. Gluten free is much more than just the latest fad. Studies have found that gluten can cause a host of digestive complaints and making your body feel heavy or sleepy after eating it. Try switching to a gluten free way of being and see how you feel.
So many silly little testimonials, so few people actually trying a blind test for gluten sensitivity. (Which is a bunch of pills with flour vs ones with, say, sugar or MCTs. Easy to set up.)
There is a genetic variant in a gene called TCF7L2 that contributes to Type 2 diabetes by releasing less insulin and higher fasting glucose. That type of diabetes showed an enhanced response to grains and weight loss.
The TCFL2 works as a signalling system that keeps track of how much body fat is available.
I’ve tried gluten free for short periods of time and I actually feel worse than with my typical diet.????
I am in so much pain when I eat even a small amount if gluten I’m not sure anyone could convince me to eat 4-5 slices of bread a day. That may be a huge hurdle in getting real numbers on who really has celiac. Being on a gluten free diet kind of stinks and most would probably have to be experiencing quite a bit of discomfort and be pretty convinced it’s gluten to go gluten free. I hate being gluten free but the pain drives me to avoid it. When I think I can get away with eating gluten I am very harshly reminded by my body. Wish it wasn’t so, I love wheat and think whole wheat is healthy! Everyone who can eat it, enjoy every bite for me!
What is the reddish brown grain in the introductory picture is it barley or rice or something else?
Oh except for CC cookie whom I agree with entirely
We dont know about the whole Gmo thingand Id rather not.
..but even though most of our food has been tampered with ad adfinitum…
we still must eat. So be careful, pay attention, pay your dime and take your best shot.
Good Luck.
If you do not have a sensitivity to gluten. Is it OK to eat oil free gluten meats made with vital wheat gluten at home on a plant-based diet?
Have you ever looked at the Gluten Casein free diet links with autism? It is an interesting subject, especially as it seems to affect the developing brain far more than an adult.
For thousands of years wheat was grown for quality you had to grow your own and if you are going to do all that work you might as well “save the best for last”. That phrase basically means hold the best grains for the end and instead of eating them plant them!! So the best of the crop was always planted out. The best tasting got grown out. This also covers productivity as well. If something tasted great, but there wasn’t anything to save because of low production those traits did not get passed on. Now wheat and any other food crop grown commercially is selected based totally on profit. If something is extremely productive it does not matter if it tastes good, or if it even causes an allergic reaction. It is grown without anyone having a choice in the matter. Genetics is extremely complex and in the course of selecting for wheats that are harder to remove from the stalks this increases productivity other more desirable wheat traits we as consumers benefit from are lost. Another trait selected for in commercial wheat production is very very hard grain so that it will not become damaged by machine harvesting. Another trait is lower fats as this is what will cause the wheat to spoil eventually and is also the reason the germ is removed from the wheat. Selecting for germ that is easily removed is another layer of genetic loss. Wheats used to be selected for high germ and oils because both of these lead to fantastic flavor and nutrition. Oh and the wheat needs to be very very short. The shorter the stalks the less fertilizing is needed to get the wheat crop. And then those short stalks have to be good to go through the machines.. another layer of selection. All this amounts to a genetic loss in flavor, quality, and a lot of unknowns like food allergies and nutrition loss.
The same is true for commercial varieties of corn. Corn fed cattle suffer from untold diseases that the industry isn’t exactly required to admit to and a lot of these health issues in both dairy and meat cattle can be traced directly to the corn.
It all goes back to that old saying “You are what you eat”
I’m avoiding most wheat but it’s the fructans that are the problem for me. Celiac test was negative.
Hey, my dad has bad cholesterol and is eating medicin for this. He has had a stroke and he loves meat, dairy and eggs. He is willing to make som changes but i have to show him som good facts that really shows that his cholesterol will be lowes and he can be off his medicins (after taking blood tests that shows the progress) if he changes his diet and he will not get any heart attacks and (more) strokes. He is also eating medicin because of his bad metabolism. Can you please link me some sites that states this fact that says what he should do. Can he stop with egg and stop eating read med (maximum once a week/month) or tips like this. I’m a vegan and i would love him to be that to. But I have to start som where with him, he is soon of gluten i think ;). Thank you in advance!:)
I am unmistakably sensitive to hybridized, modern wheat, which has been manipulated for higher crop yield and is produced with a considerably higher gluten content than heirloom or ancient wheat like spelt or einkorn and overly processed. If I eat modern wheat, I am itchy within about 20 minutes and covered in eczema within 24 hours. If I use a whole grain, heirloom flour, or if I buy a bread made with these ancient grains, I have no issue with moderate, reasonable consumption (say, a sandwich once or twice per week).
Greger: “it’s linked” meaning it’s CORRELATED, no actual evidence, just a theory that maybe something is the way we see it, but no actual studies have been done long term.
I just assume I’m sensitive to gluten lol. I should actually test it one day. If I do, I think I’ll go all in and eat seitan which is basically pure wheat gluten 😉
Why eat pasta and bread when you can eat quinoa and cooked amaranth seeds? Richer in protein and overall a better option.
Oh Yea!???
Have you ever tried to eat Barley?
Ha!
I didnt think so!
and the rest of you guyz are a bit disturbing as well…
please do more research.
I had acne and it didnt got better with going vegan. For 3 weeks i stoped eating gluten and? Now my acne is gone. Gluten is naturel acid to protect the plant, food with gluten dont want to be eaten.
Another interesting video:) I occasionally eat gluten containing foods. I don’t have any problem with it. Gluten free diets are sometimes a disguise for low carb diets, and this is a dangerous way to go. There are plenty of whole plant foods one can eat to stay gluten free if desired, such as fruits, starchy veggies, rice, quinoa, lentils, beans, corn, nuts and seeds.
I ate whole grain bread my whole life, until my early 40’s when I was bloating in the end of every day. I tested not eating different foods to see what was causing it. Turned out to be gluten.
I can’t tell if this always was a problem but since gluten can cause a leaky gut and occasional light astma completely disapeared as well since I quit gluten, I think it’s always been a problem.
So much for grains being healthy because I always thought they were. After more research I’m convinced that even without gluten sensitivity it is wise not to eat too much of it.
http://paleoleap.com/about-rice/ what are your thoughts on this article stating brown rice and other whole grains have inflammatory compounds built in?
Could I request a video on Liposomal encapsulated Vitamin C? We’ve been making our own for a few weeks and seem to be detoxing??? Thanks for the great videos
I took out gluten (and grains) from my diet over 2 years ago. After 6 months, I was off all my bipolar medication. After 1 year, my hypothyroid and fibromyalgia corrected itself. Reintroduction of gluten/wheat put me in the ER, so I think I’ll just stay gluten free. It’s much nicer than the $600 a month in medication + unwanted side effects that make me semi-disabled. My gut flora is perfectly fine, but then again I avoid processed gluten free foods for the most part and stick with whole, plant-based foods.
“Reintroduce gluten back into the diet every year”? That is the most stupid comment I have heard. There is nothing healthy about gluten it destroys the lining of your gut. Better read up on what Dr. Mercola says about it!
