    Let’s talk about so-called “healthy whole grains.” Eating whole grains is a widespread diet recommendation, but for what reason?
    Whole wheat bread, for example, is made from whole wheat flour, not refined flour. But, neither type of flour has much fiber, vitamins, phytonutrients, minerals, or protein. Whole grains also contain phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of minerals.
    The majority of studies on grains compare whole grains to refined grains. Many people already know whole grains are healthier than refined grains. So, why aren’t we comparing the effects of consuming whole grains vs. not consuming whole grains or refined grains?
    Aren't whole grains heart-healthy? The Cochrane group evaluated nine random-controlled trials and came to the conclusion that there isn’t enough evidence to say that consuming whole grains will reduce your risk of heart disease.
    However, foods without grains are beneficial for your heart, liver, arteries, and blood sugar levels. Learn more about these foods in my other videos.

    For me it's very easy. For most of human history we haven't touched grain. When we started making bread, it was ground, baked and consumed within one or two days. Today's wheat and white bread will last for weeks without molding. It comes from a totally different wheat stalk that was engineered to give the maximum yield. American culture revolves around grains and bread. This type of obsession didn't happen until the great depression when people needed cheap calories. Grain is literally an emergency food to just get calories and feel full- yet it's now the central part of our diet. Like most Americans I grew up thinking wheat bread was good for me. I read the Wheat Belly book and decided to give no wheat a try. I have suffered from constant allergies since I was about 5 years old, and after getting off wheat my allergy symptoms almost entirely went away. Same for eczema and dandruff/itchy scalp. Anymore I see wheat as basically a poison. If you take any of these symptoms to your physician, they will test and medicate you into oblivion. And I can guarantee if any of it works it won't work for long, because I've been down that road. Not bashing physicians, but our medical system is extremely flawed in America. If people were just taught how to eat a nutritious diet the vast majority of this very expensive medical treatment would not even be necessary. Therein lies the rub.

      We are storing foods as a just in case and if we get to that point, we will add stuff in to stretch what meat we do have, like our ancestors did. I'm going to start buying organic whole wheat berries. I'm also going to buy the type that aren't as tampered with, like the wheat still used in Europe. So if we make any, I'll grind up some of the wheat berries only when I need them and then I'll make sourdough, to try and avoid most of the phytic acid. A lot of allergies are being linked to the destruction of our gut microbiome, and one of the biggest culprits is from the pesticides being sprayed on non organic wheat, and so many other things. Yuck

      Been gluten free 18 years now. Cut the grains about 13 years ago. I will every now and then have 1 or 2 Mary's seed crackers, which does have a little rice flour. But I consider it a junk food treat. Not real food. The big slice of Brie cheese that I put on it is real food.
      We went to visit my daughter for 3 weeks in the winter. I never thought to freeze my husband's bread before leaving. I never touch it so didnt think about it. We have a divided kitchen. It wasn't until I was on the plane back that I thought about it. I was prepared for a big, purple nasty mess in his bread box. The bread looked like it just went in. I threw it out.

    Dr. Berg, your informative videos changed my life! My hair (scalp and eyebrows) was falling out and though I was tested for several autoimmune disorders the blood work always ruled them out. Your videos on how pesticides found on whole grain can cause your body to attack itself when consumed was the first time I had ever heard about that. I decided to eliminate grains from my diet to see any noticeable changes. Within a week or two my hair started growing back!!! I was mind blown!! I’d been losing patches of hair for over a 2 year period. It made me very self conscious and depressed. You helped me heal my body and I’m forever grateful!! I share your videos with everyone I can.

    Recently I've been in doctors' offices and hospitals with my father who is having heart issues. It is amazing to me how many nurses are putting forth their "learned" knowledge of the benefit of eating grains and other foods that we know are harmful. The one statement that really astonished me was the vitamin D3 levels in a 2,000 IU pill was toxic. Is this what is being taught in medical schools? Unbelievable. All doctors and health care providers need extensive training in nutrition in addition to normal medical protocol.

    I believe both of those flours are refined grains. The whole wheat flour means that company started with the whole grain before they cut it up and refined it themselves. So as long as they start with the whole seed they can label it as that.

  • @AdventureAwaits972
    @AdventureAwaits972 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    You are comparing processed whole grains - flour to actual whole intact grains. There is a huge difference between flour (processed whole grain - cereals) vs whole grain berries ... like wild red rice, steel-cut oats, barley berries, einkorn berries, rye berries ... etc. While whole grains seemingly don't have a lot of nutritional value, they still provide powerful health benefits in their whole intact form ... especially if you soak them for 24 hours or sprout them.
    You don't have to eat a large amount. I sprinkle a couple of spoons full of whole intact grains (berries ... oats) in a pot ... soak them overnight ... the next morning ... cook them down for 1 & 1/2 hour-plus. They have little flavor ... so mixing them into my veggie (green leafy veggies ... avocado ... etc.) concoction along with a quality protein works well
    It is about dietary patterns. The ancient wisdom of our ancestors is correct. We have forgotten thousands of years of that wisdom ... Africans ate millet ... Asians ate rice ... South Americans ate quinoa ... Italians ate Farro ... and on and on. They did not have supermarkets with Cheerios. Again eating a small amount of the whole grain berries is different... that is what is causing the confusion

    I’m from Kansas, wheat country, and my childhood memories bring me back to when my German grandmother would come to visit and would make her bread, from her own memory, kneading it lovingly, covering it, letting it rise, then baking it in our oven, there in the kitchen. We would then eagerly eat a freshly cut warm slice of her “secret family” bread recipe, dripping with butter, chomping down in thanks that she visited, but after…..I writhed in pain on the floor with gas that I never associated with her baked gift, ya know? Bread is biblical, in a way, and sandwiches have become the go-to for so many, since a person can drive back to work while gobbling down a sandwich….lol…..and it is so easy to get all the food groups in a “Dagwood”, for lunch usually. Bread seems like the optimal “convenience food”, and I came so close that day at the store, when I bought all those mark-down veggies and such, glancing at the Ezekiel sprouted Bread and remembering how much I loved some buttered toast in the morning…but I resisted, and stayed strong, but that comfort food of bread is sometimes equally as strong to draw some back in. It is also in the way that it is processed. Here in the Heartland, I have heard that they will spray the grains numerous times before it goes out from the elevator, and some opt to use smaller family processors because of that very reason and the lack of that spraying that occurs for our betterment, they say. Nice topic, Doc. 🤔 Extremely relevant here in the bread basket of America. Peace out, Doc. ✌️(just not a piece of that bread, don’t ya know?…lol)

Homemade alfredo sauce is super easy to make and you can just whip it up whenever you want to make that dish. Been eating it like this for years. I don't eat sandwiches too much because deli meat is full of nitrates, sugar, and other preservatives. But when I do a lettuce wrap works great. They now sell lettuce wraps in Walmart and places.

    I think whole grains can be healthy. I belong to a small group of local stone millers and we stone mill and distribute and use whole flour fresh, so that helps with the oxidation issue. We also buy from farms that use good agriculture, the university hear has studied the grains of farms using these farming methods that build health soil vs. the current GMO/chemical model and of course the grains grown in good soil are much higher in nutrients especially minerals. And for phytic acid its best to process grains in traditional ways, like make bread using a culture which will make nutrients more bioavailable. So I think grains can be very healthy but you need to go back to farming, milling, and baking processes that we did say 100 years ago.

I know KETO is what your platform is built upon and I too am keto, but the mistake you are making with this flour is that it is NOT whole grain-- it is just as processed as the white flour. Whole grains are just that--whole, unprocessed grains like quinoa, wheat berries, millet, etc. These are not in the same category as that flour or fake bread. It is misleading marketing that makes many see them as equivalent and interchangeable. That said, I think you may be inadvertently doing the same to promote keto and believe it may be best to present the whole truth then let people decide for themselves what they want without creating more confusion.

And the only reason that company was allowed to make its flour without bleaching is that they were considered historically significant to the state legislators as a company that had been started some time in the 19th century. Because they find it hard to compete otherwise though they do make products that are not whole wheat and it is very hard to find their flour but easy to find the pancake mixes. People are simply not willing to pay extra to have non bleached products, but they are if a quarter cup of baking soda and baking powder are added to the bag.

    Wahay, so well said! We have had dubious 'studies' for decades now making us believe all kinds of nonsense, sadly.

As a keen skipper (or dumpster diver as you say in the US), I know a bit about the reality of foodstuffs and what we can expect in terms of quality, and so an experiment began: We put one of these pies each in the microwave, heated it and left it in over room temperature (warm autumn) in the sun all day, then refroze it, heating them the next day and eating them for lunch. There were no obvious bad effects. We called each cycle of heating, standing a day in the warmth, then freezing then heating and eating a 'level'. We tried level 2 pies, level 3, level 4 and onward... We got to level eight before my friend travelled back to Switzerland and we stuck a level 8 pie in an envelope and posted it to him - he ate it days later when it arrived. No bad effects: I don't think there is actually any food substance in these things at all - at least none worth having in my view.

We have a big advantage here in general, as we have no GMO and all our cattle are grass fed and live natural lives. Our food has generally far less chemicals in it than in the US ( I lived in NE for a few decades ), so I can compare. I eat a bowl of Organic oatmeal every morning topped with seeds Flax, Pumpkin and Chia and 3 types of nuts, together with some berries and maybe sliced Apple pieces . I add some 1% fat milk to top it off. Great slow release energy from this complex carb and along with a non sedentary lifestyle gives me healthy blood readings and a feeling of wellness.

    I'm doing IF and it's doing wonders for my health. Haven't gone keto yet but have changed to slow carbs gluten free whole grain as part of my diet. It's commercially available whole oats based bread (from regular super markets) and what works even better for me is the biological bread from the nude oat variety, 'avena nuda' in latin. The latter is preferable because that way you can be certain there's no glyphosate in it, but I don't think it's available internationally. GMO is not a worry because I live (and eat) in Europe.
    I'm monitoring my health by how I feel and don't want to rule out that I'll make the step to keto still at some point. First I will get some blood work done to see if how I feel is reflected in the numbers.

    Keep in mind that wheat is in the grass cereal family, along with rice, corn, sorghum, and many others. Grass is one of the most common allergies. So if you’re experiencing subtle (or not so subtle) health issues, especially gastronomic distress, consider looking critically at the cereal grains in your diet.

      @halfrank9789 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TrulyWOW - One of the reasons for that might be the opportunity/frequency of exposure. I believe that in Asian countries where they eat a lot more rice, rice allergy is more common. Also, I have heard from people who are allergic to corn, that if they are sensitive to wheat gluten, there is something in corn that is quite similar, so they react to corn because of that similarity. From what I know about corn reactions there are apparently many different ways that people are reacting to grains. Many allergists will say that you can only react to the proteins so if you remove the protein the food will be safe. But proteins are pretty small so I'm not sure how anyone can be sure that processing will leave a food 'protein free'? Also, there are things that don't have protein that people are allergic to, like metals.

    In high school, I was taught about the "miracle" of agriculture. The Tigris Euphrates and crop production. Agriculture may have been a miracle for increased population growth, but not a miracle for good nutrition.
    “Sapiens” by Yuval Harari (2015)
    Even today, with all our advanced technologies, more than 90 per cent of the calories that feed humanity come from the handful of plants that our ancestors domesticated between 9500 and 3500 BC - wheat, rice, maize (called 'corn' in the US), potatoes, millet and barley. No noteworthy plant or animal has been domesticated in the last 2,000 years. If our minds are those of hunter-gatherers, our cuisine is that of ancient farmers.” p. 77, 78.
    “But the best thing fire did was cook. Foods that human s cannot digest in their natural forms - such as wheat, rice and potatoes - became staples of our diet thanks to cooking,” p. 12.
    “The foragers' secret of success, which protected them from starvation and malnutrition, was their varied diet. Farmers tend to eat a very limited and unbalanced diet. Especially in premodern times, most of the calories feeding an agricultural population came from a single crop - such as wheat, potatoes or rice - that lacks some of the vitamins, minerals and other nutritional materials humans need. The typical peasant in traditional China ate rice for breakfast, rice for lunch, and rice for dinner. If she were lucky, she could expect to eat the same on the following day. By contrast, ancient foragers regularly ate dozens of different foodstuffs. The peasant's ancient ancestor, the forager, may have eaten berries and mushrooms for breakfast; fruits, snails and turtle for lunch; and rabbit steak with wild onions for dinner. Tomorrow's menu might have been completely different. This variety ensured that the ancient foragers received all the necessary nutrients.
    “Furthermore, by not being dependent on any single kind of food, they were less liable to suffer when one particular food source failed. Agricultural societies are ravaged by famine when drought, fire or earthquake devastates the annual rice or potato crop. Forager societies were hardly immune to natural disasters, and suffered from periods of want and hunger, but they were usually able to deal with such calamities more easily. If they lost some of their staple foodstuffs, they could gather or hunt other species, or move to a less affected area,” p.51.
    “The transition to agriculture began around 9500-8500 BC in the hill country of south-eastern Turkey, western Iran, and the Levant. It began slowly and in a restricted geographical area. Wheat and goats were domesticated by approximately 9000 BC; peas and lentils around 8000 BC; olive trees by 5000 BC; horses by 4000 BC; and grapevines in 3500 BC. Some animals and plants, such as camels and cashew nuts, were domesticated even later, but by 3500 BC the main wave of domestication was over.

    Dr.Berg,first of all I must thank you! It was by watching your videos that I embarked upon my journey of fitness and fatloss by practicing Keto and OMAD! In the span of 55 days I lost 30 kgs of fat. From 140.2 kgs of weight I got to 109.5 kgs and also got rid if my grade 2 fatty liver which measure 19.8cms. Now my liver measures 14.1cms and the fat has been stripped of it.
    But I happen to injure my knee and the MRI showed soft tissue swelling and effusion. My doctor prescribed a medicine called Collaflex which contains glucosamine.
    I have been hesitant to have it sice I know that glucosamine is a amino sugar and it may kick me out of ketosis. Dr.Berg I would be grateful to you if you could tell me if it indeed would kick me out of ketosis and also I am in pain due to knee problem.

    Historically, grains started to enter the human diet about 13,000 years ago, depending on which part of the world you look at. Forensic archaeologists have traced dental decay, estrogenic effects on men, and other health issues in ancient Egyptians, which was a big wheat grower and exporting country.
    They also followed the adoption of grains into hunter-gather groups and the same effect followed the adoption of predominately grain-based diet.

    I’ve been a bread fiend all my life and eaten some of the “best” grains out there. I’ve always had digestive issues. And never had any feeling of satisfaction from grains. On the contrary, I always wanted more. The fact that grains turn to sugar and that grain goods are made with extra sugar mostly cheap ones, should be enough to make us turn away. Then add all the chemicals like stabilizers to make each bun in a package of buns look like twins? I have completely removed grains from my diet and I have never felt better. My digestive tract is healing and I feel sated. They lose whatever goodness they might have immediately after milling and the so called after market nutrients that are added, are just that…. after market. Synthetic reproductions that our bodies can’t process.
    So proceed with caution when it comes to grains and the foods that are made with them.

    I know it is a cultural thing but a big change needs to happen in the US & UK, bread should be a part of everyday food, but with the Chorley Wood method it causes so many gastric problems. All you need to do is take the middle of a slice and squeeze it into a ball, it doesn't spring back, this is what happens in your stomach.
