I'm convinced that 95% of our western society's medical issues are related to (1) excessive sugar and (2) excessive grains. Our bodies are not designed for so much sugar (in any form) and processed grains.
Paleo/Keto/low-carb diets are a game changer.
I've got a couple older family members that are "type 2 diabetics". Neither require medication because they keep themselves bone thin; extremely low body fat.
(If the FDA was really interested in our health, they would cut off the grain and corn subsidies. But, that's a different conversation.)
Also parasites that we dont treat or test for and go undetected.
Btw grains are sugars Wholegrain been healthier than white us also a complete lie. Humans cannot digest fibre that makes a grain whole. Ie no different to processed
How about all the people who think each sugar is different. Refined sugar bad, stevia and other weird shit good.
It’s all a sugar and a carb, it doesn’t matter.
Exactly. There are sugars we cannot digest. There are sugars we can but divided into hard to digest and easy to
100% agreed.
excessive carbs
You are correct.
95%
You are incorrect. Try 99%. But yes.
Try 99%
Try not talking out of your ass.
Do you think it's grain specifically or how they are modified by companies?
I'm FAR from an expert, so take what I say with skepticism:
One expert (MD, I don't remember his name at the moment) I read a few years ago suggested that the western 'high grain' diet is causing a baseline gut inflammation in the bulk of the population. (I.e. All grains are bad.) That some people experience it more severely (gluten allergies, etc.) and others with just weight gain, etc.
I'm 75% convinced my mild arthritis is caused by my grain consumption, but it isn't bad enough (yet) for me to go cut out all of the grains in my diet.
This guy commented that we (Europeans) have only really begun to consume grains heavily / daily for the last ~500 years. Before that, the bulk of the population was more rural and there was more consumption of wild greens, fruits, fish, animals, etc. The growth of industry resulted in the growth of cities. And cities are hard to feed without grains.
BUT ... it really wasn't until the sugar levels in our food went up and the heavy GMO work in the last ~75 years have we started seeing a major shift in the health of the population. (W.r.t. a broad view of obesity and related health problems.)
You can get life without bread and the German doctor explains you don’t need carbs and if you do less then 72 from all sources and you’ll slow aging, stop disease etc. he has studies he conducted for years in the book.
I do know the grains we have today are significantly different from the ones our ancestors ate. Maybe in the quest to gain more calories per acre we lost something important.
Our diet requires exactly 0% of our diet to be grains or carbs
