We have been attacked from all over with information good as well as bad. This attachment pertains to consumption of modern day wheat .
In the 70's and 80's Medical personnel all over the world opined that cholesterol was the root cause for atherosclerosis ,heart disease and death . So we became conscious of our food avoiding foods that contained cholesterol and fat. So we kept all the Laboratories occupied with blood samples.
Now the research has reversed the findings and has said cholesterol is important as it is the basic material for all the beneficial enzymes.
The attached article says that Wheat is more harmful than the rice in increasing the blood glucose. So the author advocates :
*I encourage people to return to real food: vegetables and nuts, unpasteurized cheese and eggs and meats in all forms, avocados and olives.
*People have been eating it for thousands of years, why is it suddenly such a problem?
WHEAT REALLY CHANGED IN THE 70'S AND 80'S DUE TO A SERIES OF TECHNIQUES USED TO INCREASE YIELD, INCLUDING HYBRIDIZATION AND BACK CROSSINGS. IT WAS BRED TO BE SHORTER AND STURDIER AND ALSO TO HAVE MORE GLIADIN, A POTENT APPETITE STIMULATE.
*The wheat we eat today is not the wheat that was eaten 100 years ago. Wheat has also become a much more central part of the American diet.
*What if I remove the wheat, but I’m still eating carbohydrates?
So, for example, I stop eating my sandwich every day, and I start eating rice with chicken and vegetables. Will I still have the health benefits? Will I still lose weight? Most do, yes. Because rice doesn’t raise blood sugar as high as wheat, and it also doesn’t have the amylopectin A or the gliadin that stimulates appetite. You won’t have the same increase in calorie intake that wheat causes.
That’s part of the reason why foreign cultures that don’t consume wheat tend to be slenderer and healthier.
DOES EVERYONE NEED TO STOP EATING WHEAT, OR ARE SOME PEOPLE MORE AT RISK FOR THESE PROBLEMS THAN OTHERS? more
