I realize this is anecdotal. Several years ago I attended a lecture at a homeschool convention. I had previously been avoiding wheat for "health" reasons and discovered someone speaking about the benefits of wheat at that convention. I was desperate to eat bread again, so I attended the lecture. The lecturer changed my world! I now purchase wheat berries (various kinds from various sources including Einkorn and Kamut) and grind them to make fresh flour for all my family's bread needs (pastries as well). My blood work numbers have all changed for the better.

Good point, I guess diets are like fashion fads... they come and go. I'm guessing you haven't strayed away from grains because of the current diet fads? Even my nutritionist told me to go gluten free, but I wasn't celiac..

I think I’m going to swap rolled oats out and swap in a mix of grains. Especially millet… tried it with pre-soaked chia and cinnamon, and diced apple, and it was delicious! I added ground ginger, cardamom, flax, wheat germ, and amla. Loved every bite! And to think I grew up eating bacon and eggs. I wouldn’t go back to that even if it was healthy, my current diet tastes better!
What about Amaranth? I planted a few plants one year in my garden. It grows 5’ tall and throws seeds all over your yard…kinda hard to harvest and then not easy to get rid of. You can eat the plant leaves as well as the grain, if you can harvest it!

Pasta Wheat is significantly different than bread Wheat, having much more protein and other factors, and being a significantly different grain. I try to eat beans instead of grains, i.e. black beans or garbanzos for breakfast instead of oatmeal.
He's over-driving by crowding the microphone and causing distortion that cannot be edited out. He's probably using a fixed mic, but moving around a lot-as he does. A headset mic would probably be much much better once they proximity (raw gain) is set. He did a full show all distorted like that earlier this year. It's made me shy of clicking on them. This one is pretty good except for when he speaks a bit too loudly or crowds the mic. HTH, Cheers!
I started with oat groats and was full ... then a month later I started getting more hungry. Right now I'm eating Costco pumpkin seeds and flax Granola and I've been full all day from eating it in the morning. I don't know why the oat groats wasn't keeping me full when it used to..
yea i sttarted mixing oats with barley in my rice cooker, and i add some chicken broth to flavour it now, makes more full. Oats is good as a snack tho. with fruits
Great podcast. I would recommend switching up the mic, the treble and popping is often and loud. Might help to use a cloth/synthetic filter or high quality mic (I don't know any)
Any vegetable that causes the formation of nitric oxide - Dr Caldwell Esselstyn wants his heart patients to consume kale 6 times a day. And Dr Greger has many videos on CVD.
I would say beans and whole, unsalted nuts; I think salted nuts aren't too bad but the salt can raise blood pressure. Try to incorporate those and get 50-60-plus grams of whole-food fiber per day and I think you'll see good results.
PLEASE. Yes. I quit listening to his podcasts after a really bad one earlier this year. I wish he'd ask someone to help him set up his mic for good audio. It's not difficult but very important for good content. I'm a ham op--we strive to have good audio, and every radio, mic, and voice is different.
@@davidsgardell He makes very many shows at each sitting I am told (and makes sense). I hope he finds someone to review the FIRST of each sitting to make sure settings and setup are such that good audio follows on all the shows from each setup. Some mics today are uber sensitive because quality control is on the consumer rather that the maker in these days of automated remote manufacturing. Thanks. I hope so. Also a NF.O volunteer assured me that they do see the comments.
@@wadepatton2433 Ah, I see! I’m not so sure it is the mic or that the quality was so low, sounds like it’s highly compressed at a really low bit rate, but also clipping. But check out the latest one, night and day difference after the intro. 👍
@@davidsgardell It's fairly common in all the amateur radio gear made since there's no quality control anymore. My own mother bought some cordless phones for her "simulated land line" and they are absolutely awful--we've stuff the cases with cotton to get the distortion down to non-nauseating levels. She's going to throw them out as soon as she gets another set of cordless phones. I have ham friends with newer radios (I like older gear) who have to hold their microphones out at arms length to keep from overdriving the audio--BUT ham gear is usually adjustable, via menus or internal settings. Consumer gear--and what I suspect Dr. G is using is not. It's "learn where to place it, or build a screen, or throw it away" type stuff. Note how singers move microphones far away from their mouths on big loud passages and back up close on really quiet ones. Dr. Greger isn't doing that--and the mic is probably hundreds of dollars cheaper than top-line professional audio gear.
Anyone try "PfitB" peanut butter powder? 87% less fat. This stuff is so good, there's got to be something bad about it. Would love to get the doc's oplnion.
When you say thatt the synergy between barley and brown rice is better than one, do you have to eat them at the same time? Or do you think the same day would be OK? Thanks
This is just a guess, but probably the same day or even alternating days would probably be fine. I think it's probably microbiome diversity that's doing the beneficial results. One beneficial microbe probably thrives on brown rice, while another beneficial microbe thrives on barley. They probably both make by products that somehow combine to benefit the body.
Two groups, both eating isocaloric, nutritionally-complete wfpb diets consisting of fifty identical ingredients, except one group cycles through 10 ingredients/day and the other eats every ingredient every day. Which group will be healthier? Essentially, is it healthiest to maximize daily variety and minimize dietary fluctuation? Or is there some nutritional, digestive or metabolic advantage to simplifying daily food intake while increasing dietary fluctuations on a longer time scale? Better to eat ten different ingredients every ten days, or one hundred ingredients every day?
I think you want to attempt consuming a large variety per week, not daily, so you don’t feel too much pressure to seek perfection. Herbal teas and spices can also provide a wide variety of plants to grow your microbiome too.
The information about heavily ground grains causing insulin spikes, makes me wonder about smoothies. Wouldn’t pulverising vegetables have similar bad effects compared to chopped vegetables?
Ezekiel 4:9 bread (and Genesis 1:29 bread) are both solid sources of whole grains. They both meet Dr Greger’s 5-to-1 Fiber Rule. nutritionfacts.org/2018/05/08/follow-the-5-to-1-rule-for-packaged-foods/
@@KyleGutschow thank you so much that's fabulous just in time as I'm going to do a little food shopping at the market!! I buy the sodium free one (blue) 🌺💙
These are hard to find and very expensive. Too bad. that trying to eat an optimal diet is so so so difficult. I am always looking for these ancient grains and they are so hard to find. Amazon is so expensive, and shipping things all over is so unsustainable. I wish it was a little easier.
You need to find only one grain to round your diet around for energy, or use brown and black rice, not everyday for arsenic content, and use other starch like potatoes with different colors, i hope this helps.
If you are already eating 50-150 grams of fiber almost everyday from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and are meeting all your micronutrient needs, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating plain white rice or non whole wheat yellow (it's not white) pasta or a high quality white sourdough bread on some days. 80-90% of the time I eat whole grains, but I only eat white rice when I do eat rice, and I eat yellow pasta and organic white sourdough bread too sometimes. Can someone give me a logical reason why that is a bad thing if I already eat 50-150 grams of fiber a day and meet all my vitamin and mineral needs?
Why would you want to put something in your body that isn’t doing any benefit? Keep eating what our ancestors were eating and staying alive. All the processed food is killing our cells. Stay healthy. More leafy greens
@@Happy-ze4bm are you really comparing something like plain white rice, one ingredient, with ultra processed fake junk foods with with a long list of unhealthy ingredients? The okinawans also ate only white rice.
@Solo Traveler so if I already eat anywhere from 50-150 grams of fiber a day and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, it's still bad if I only eat white rice instead of brown? That doesn't really make a lot of sense. It's not completely empty by the way, but even if it was it still wouldn't matter that much since I already get everything I need. I don't eat any ultra procesded junk food, no oils or fried foods, never drink, never even been drunk before, and never smoked anything before even once.
Thnk you Dr Gregor. I have a question. I feel like since going vegan, I fear eating too much carbs, and wont more grains and fruit raise cholesterol and risk of cancer and diabetes? If you look on the label for oats and grains, they really dont have much fiber. What is your thoughts?
You probably need more healthy, satiating fats like avocado, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc. People are so afraid of fat but whole fat are essential and are the most satiating foods.
I used to fear carbs, too! I landed in the hospital with heart rate issues on account of it! I then went vegetarian and embraced carbs (because I felt I had to) and never felt better in my life! I eat a lot of potatoes! I eat as much as I want (fruits and vegetables) and enjoy it all! Fruit is better than candy or cake! Eat for health and weight will take care of itself!
How is Nutrition Facts going to keep its channel ad-free now that youtube has told all content-creators that youtube will slap adverts on anyone they want, even if they aren’t part of the ad partnering deal?
Glyphosate is a concern to me in regards to cancer and gut microbes when following Dr. Zack Bush's lectures. It is used in grain harvesting, this is why organic is a better way to go. I guess the fellow who wrote WHEAT BELLY was right when he talked about ancient grains and modern grains..
It's tolerable when he's not overdriving it by proximity or voice volume. We know he "gets excited" and moves around a lot. I suspect this and lack of an audio engineer are the culprits.
"People want their white bread white" YUCK!!! not this people. Give me wheat (and more grains) or give me cornbread. Sliced white bread-only if I was starving. and please find someone to help you set the microphone the best distance from your mouth to cover all the extremes of you up and down voice. It's just terrible the amount of distortion that's coming from the overdriving of the element. Here's my assisitance (as a radio op who understands a litle bit about this stuff): to fix, back off the microphone, especially when you "get loud/excited". This mic has decent audio when you let your voice down into the cellar. You just need to "back off". Some of the radio guys suggest a very dirty sock tied around the microphone to buffer the input---and to force the user to keep his mouth further away from the element. I'm done here. It's just too distracting. I thought after a few months this problem would go away--be fixed by somebody. But it has not and my ears are too battered already. Hope you get it fixed. Thanks
Is this the first time you complained about it? I haven’t seen any other complaints; that’s probably why he didn’t fix it. Can’t fix something you don’t know is a problem. 🤷♀️
I would eat a good quality organic white sourdough bread with just organic wheat flour, water, and salt and nothing else but would avoid white breads at the supermarket.
@@AccurateLedgers No I said something last time and a few others complained on this one. I hope you're not being sarcastic and I'm missing the joke. I try to be helpful because I care and want the message to get out, and in good form.
I think problem is with digestive system and that upon mental health. Food means carbohydrate, but problem is that most bodies are not adapted to carbo diet because they quickly break into sugar. So people are more inclined to protein rich diet because they are complex and take time.
In Finland most people eat oatmeal for breakfast (usually water and a little salt and butter or some milk or "milk" and berries). Most breads are rye or oat based and whole grain or mostly whole grain. They think these breakfast choices are healthy. But then, the oat is mostly the instant kind and the flours used for bread are decomposed and then put together in same ratios as whole grains... I don't like oatmeal because it tastes bland and the texture is disgusting. But I love buckweat in any form. I also love millet and barley. So I ditched the bread and eat my eggs with those (the only animal product I still eat because of choline mainly). Wheat and oats are actually borring besides these grains/"grains"
You kind of answer your own questions? Why white bread seem the same as whole grains bread? Well because they are all first make into flour before they are make into board. Food structure between the two board is nearly the same. We did countless experiements on white vs whole grain, they are nearly the same, as long as they are being make into bread. The only different between the two is that whole grain have bit more nutrition compare to white.
If you look at the daily dozen ap, starchy vegetables are counted under "other vegetables", and he recommends 1 cup of these (cooked) per day. The category is bigger than starchy vegetables, but he doesn't say you shouldn't eat them, just that you should also eat grains.
Why am I, and so many other people, allergic to wheat? You can be allergic to wheat without being celiac. Wheat is one of the top eight known food allergens.

Dr. Greger tells us on his website (videos and probably articles) that most folks are not wheat sensitive or gluten intolerant. I think we have so many allergies these days because folks aren't eating enough fiber, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. And dairy. When I got away from dairy, my life-long problems with sinuses (many doctor visits and tests in my first 20 years because I suffered so much). Turns out that when I stopped drinking milk on a regular basis, that I had ZERO hay fever/allergies problems at all. No one ever thought that dairy could be bad for us in those days...not anybody we knew-including the MD's. WFPB for 6 years not--healthiest I've ever been, despite being 54.
You may notice your gluten tolerance will vary when you're not in the U.S. I have a friend who is straight up celiacs and can eat pasta in Italy. U.S. wheat is spliced to be higher in gluten because gluten is highly pest-resistant. I get bloating from gluten here but in Italy I can eat all the bread and pasta and be fine.
Do you know whether Dr. Greger ever addressed the issue of dried fruits in general (dried figs, dried dates, raisin, etc...) ? Particurally during recent lockdown periods, I ate tons of dried figs !
I think it's only for people with celiac's disease (at least that's what I learnt in nutrition school). I have so many friends who believe they are allergic to gluten but are not celiac. Are you gluten intolerant?

@@deb_is_here1425 nice yea id ditch the syrup and use fruit instead forsure!
Very good!..I mash up the banana and it taste like pudding maybe the mash releases the sugar and makes it taste better
Is it completely safe to eat as much rolled oats as you want without cooking them?
@@dj-fe4ck who knows lol
@@dj-fe4ck I should think so - I've never heard of a restriction on drinking oat milk, for instance.
So where on earth can I get kamut and how would I cook it?
Amazon is your friend for the unusual stuff.
Pasta Wheat is significantly different than bread Wheat, having much more protein and other factors, and being a significantly different grain. I try to eat beans instead of grains, i.e. black beans or garbanzos for breakfast instead of oatmeal.
The grain with the Best gain is...anciet grains like spelt, einkorn, etc
I love this guy
Thanks!
Excellent
Whats up with the mic ? Sounds crackly or distorted at times
He's over-driving by crowding the microphone and causing distortion that cannot be edited out. He's probably using a fixed mic, but moving around a lot-as he does. A headset mic would probably be much much better once they proximity (raw gain) is set.
He did a full show all distorted like that earlier this year. It's made me shy of clicking on them. This one is pretty good except for when he speaks a bit too loudly or crowds the mic. HTH, Cheers!
I started with oat groats and was full ... then a month later I started getting more hungry. Right now I'm eating Costco pumpkin seeds and flax Granola and I've been full all day from eating it in the morning. I don't know why the oat groats wasn't keeping me full when it used to..
Same
yea i sttarted mixing oats with barley in my rice cooker, and i add some chicken broth to flavour it now, makes more full. Oats is good as a snack tho. with fruits
My daughter in law started using Kamut for baking and my son who has had problems with gluten doesn’t have those issues with kamut.
Great podcast. I would recommend switching up the mic, the treble and popping is often and loud. Might help to use a cloth/synthetic filter or high quality mic (I don't know any)
Thank you Dr for such a clear presentation!👍
Thank you Dr for your amazing audio quality! we love you!
What are the absolute best foods to clean out your arteries? Or if you did a video, can you give a link to it please? Thank you
Any vegetable that causes the formation of nitric oxide - Dr Caldwell Esselstyn wants his heart patients to consume kale 6 times a day. And Dr Greger has many videos on CVD.
I would say beans and whole, unsalted nuts; I think salted nuts aren't too bad but the salt can raise blood pressure. Try to incorporate those and get 50-60-plus grams of whole-food fiber per day and I think you'll see good results.
I'd love for you to interview Reiner Fullemich!
Audio signal still hot and clipping. Fix it please
PLEASE. Yes. I quit listening to his podcasts after a really bad one earlier this year. I wish he'd ask someone to help him set up his mic for good audio. It's not difficult but very important for good content. I'm a ham op--we strive to have good audio, and every radio, mic, and voice is different.
@@wadepatton2433 Today’s podcast has better audio (well, after the intro part)! Perhaps they read the comments and made some changes.
@@davidsgardell He makes very many shows at each sitting I am told (and makes sense). I hope he finds someone to review the FIRST of each sitting to make sure settings and setup are such that good audio follows on all the shows from each setup. Some mics today are uber sensitive because quality control is on the consumer rather that the maker in these days of automated remote manufacturing. Thanks. I hope so. Also a NF.O volunteer assured me that they do see the comments.
@@wadepatton2433 Ah, I see! I’m not so sure it is the mic or that the quality was so low, sounds like it’s highly compressed at a really low bit rate, but also clipping. But check out the latest one, night and day difference after the intro. 👍
@@davidsgardell It's fairly common in all the amateur radio gear made since there's no quality control anymore. My own mother bought some cordless phones for her "simulated land line" and they are absolutely awful--we've stuff the cases with cotton to get the distortion down to non-nauseating levels. She's going to throw them out as soon as she gets another set of cordless phones. I have ham friends with newer radios (I like older gear) who have to hold their microphones out at arms length to keep from overdriving the audio--BUT ham gear is usually adjustable, via menus or internal settings. Consumer gear--and what I suspect Dr. G is using is not. It's "learn where to place it, or build a screen, or throw it away" type stuff. Note how singers move microphones far away from their mouths on big loud passages and back up close on really quiet ones. Dr. Greger isn't doing that--and the mic is probably hundreds of dollars cheaper than top-line professional audio gear.
Anyone try "PfitB" peanut butter powder? 87% less fat. This stuff is so good, there's got to be something bad about it. Would love to get the doc's oplnion.
Doesn't it contain sugar?
Yes it does. Coconut palm sugar.
@@toni-joymotomura9893 I think there are plain varieties
@@woodlakesound that would be great! I’ll look into it.

*I'll Take Soaked Whole Oat Groats For $300 Alex... And That's Today's DAILY DOUBLE!!!*
Rolled oats and steel cut oats are better. No one sells them as groats because everyone probably hates them. They're probably too hard to chew.
@@dj-fe4ck they do sell them as groats. I use them as a substitute for rice sometimes.
@A G ever heard of Amazon? Where do you live? In the US and UK you can find them in health food stores
@@dj-fe4ck no one sells them? You are inclined to use hyperbole, aren't you?
You can't just soak whole intact grains; you have to cook them.
When you say thatt the synergy between barley and brown rice is better than one, do you have to eat them at the same time? Or do you think the same day would be OK? Thanks
This is just a guess, but probably the same day or even alternating days would probably be fine. I think it's probably microbiome diversity that's doing the beneficial results. One beneficial microbe probably thrives on brown rice, while another beneficial microbe thrives on barley. They probably both make by products that somehow combine to benefit the body.
Two groups, both eating isocaloric, nutritionally-complete wfpb diets consisting of fifty identical ingredients, except one group cycles through 10 ingredients/day and the other eats every ingredient every day. Which group will be healthier? Essentially, is it healthiest to maximize daily variety and minimize dietary fluctuation? Or is there some nutritional, digestive or metabolic advantage to simplifying daily food intake while increasing dietary fluctuations on a longer time scale? Better to eat ten different ingredients every ten days, or one hundred ingredients every day?
I think you want to attempt consuming a large variety per week, not daily, so you don’t feel too much pressure to seek perfection. Herbal teas and spices can also provide a wide variety of plants to grow your microbiome too.
Thanks for sharing this information, this is really helpful 👍🏾
I just learned of Fonio - How is this compared to Millet or Quinoa?
The information about heavily ground grains causing insulin spikes, makes me wonder about smoothies. Wouldn’t pulverising vegetables have similar bad effects compared to chopped vegetables?
What do you think about Eckzkial bread? I do have oats periodically but never GLYOSPHATE King General Mills ! Only non Gmo organic brands
Ezekiel 4:9 bread (and Genesis 1:29 bread) are both solid sources of whole grains. They both meet Dr Greger’s 5-to-1 Fiber Rule. nutritionfacts.org/2018/05/08/follow-the-5-to-1-rule-for-packaged-foods/
@@KyleGutschow thank you so much that's fabulous just in time as I'm going to do a little food shopping at the market!! I buy the sodium free one (blue) 🌺💙
Your a smart consumer! Glyosphate is a carcinogen, I wish as consumers we have more visibility of the glyosphate testing.
Oh and never heard of that bread lol can i come over for dinner?
@@5unshineBear its delicious☺
These are hard to find and very expensive. Too bad. that trying to eat an optimal diet is so so so difficult. I am always looking for these ancient grains and they are so hard to find. Amazon is so expensive, and shipping things all over is so unsustainable. I wish it was a little easier.
You need to find only one grain to round your diet around for energy, or use brown and black rice, not everyday for arsenic content, and use other starch like potatoes with different colors, i hope this helps.
Kamut "better than regular wheat": what specifically is "regular wheat"? There are many different types of regular wheat.
If you are already eating 50-150 grams of fiber almost everyday from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and are meeting all your micronutrient needs, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating plain white rice or non whole wheat yellow (it's not white) pasta or a high quality white sourdough bread on some days. 80-90% of the time I eat whole grains, but I only eat white rice when I do eat rice, and I eat yellow pasta and organic white sourdough bread too sometimes. Can someone give me a logical reason why that is a bad thing if I already eat 50-150 grams of fiber a day and meet all my vitamin and mineral needs?
You aren’t eating enough fiber, 200 grams is best😂
Why would you want to put something in your body that isn’t doing any benefit? Keep eating what our ancestors were eating and staying alive. All the processed food is killing our cells. Stay healthy. More leafy greens
@@Happy-ze4bm it benefits me. I already eat plenty of greens.
@@Happy-ze4bm are you really comparing something like plain white rice, one ingredient, with ultra processed fake junk foods with with a long list of unhealthy ingredients? The okinawans also ate only white rice.
@Solo Traveler so if I already eat anywhere from 50-150 grams of fiber a day and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, it's still bad if I only eat white rice instead of brown? That doesn't really make a lot of sense. It's not completely empty by the way, but even if it was it still wouldn't matter that much since I already get everything I need. I don't eat any ultra procesded junk food, no oils or fried foods, never drink, never even been drunk before, and never smoked anything before even once.
Thnk you Dr Gregor. I have a question. I feel like since going vegan, I fear eating too much carbs, and wont more grains and fruit raise cholesterol and risk of cancer and diabetes? If you look on the label for oats and grains, they really dont have much fiber. What is your thoughts?
You probably need more healthy, satiating fats like avocado, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc. People are so afraid of fat but whole fat are essential and are the most satiating foods.
I used to fear carbs, too! I landed in the hospital with heart rate issues on account of it! I then went vegetarian and embraced carbs (because I felt I had to) and never felt better in my life! I eat a lot of potatoes! I eat as much as I want (fruits and vegetables) and enjoy it all! Fruit is better than candy or cake! Eat for health and weight will take care of itself!
Wheat products give me migraines, and the more tough, glutenous the worse. I wonder if kamut would help?
How is Nutrition Facts going to keep its channel ad-free now that youtube has told all content-creators that youtube will slap adverts on anyone they want, even if they aren’t part of the ad partnering deal?
Glyphosate is a concern to me in regards to cancer and gut microbes when following Dr. Zack Bush's lectures. It is used in grain harvesting, this is why organic is a better way to go. I guess the fellow who wrote WHEAT BELLY was right when he talked about ancient grains and modern grains..
Glyphosate is a concern and also hybridization.
That mic quality is awful oh lord
It's tolerable when he's not overdriving it by proximity or voice volume. We know he "gets excited" and moves around a lot. I suspect this and lack of an audio engineer are the culprits.
"People want their white bread white" YUCK!!! not this people.
Give me wheat (and more grains) or give me cornbread. Sliced white bread-only if I was starving.
and please find someone to help you set the microphone the best distance from your mouth to cover all the extremes of you up and down voice. It's just terrible the amount of distortion that's coming from the overdriving of the element.
Here's my assisitance (as a radio op who understands a litle bit about this stuff): to fix, back off the microphone, especially when you "get loud/excited". This mic has decent audio when you let your voice down into the cellar. You just need to "back off". Some of the radio guys suggest a very dirty sock tied around the microphone to buffer the input---and to force the user to keep his mouth further away from the element. I'm done here. It's just too distracting. I thought after a few months this problem would go away--be fixed by somebody. But it has not and my ears are too battered already. Hope you get it fixed. Thanks
Is this the first time you complained about it?
I haven’t seen any other complaints; that’s probably why he didn’t fix it. Can’t fix something you don’t know is a problem. 🤷♀️
I would eat a good quality organic white sourdough bread with just organic wheat flour, water, and salt and nothing else but would avoid white breads at the supermarket.
@@AccurateLedgers No I said something last time and a few others complained on this one. I hope you're not being sarcastic and I'm missing the joke. I try to be helpful because I care and want the message to get out, and in good form.
White bread? Yuck!
Hi
I think problem is with digestive system and that upon mental health. Food means carbohydrate, but problem is that most bodies are not adapted to carbo diet because they quickly break into sugar. So people are more inclined to protein rich diet because they are complex and take time.
In Finland most people eat oatmeal for breakfast (usually water and a little salt and butter or some milk or "milk" and berries). Most breads are rye or oat based and whole grain or mostly whole grain. They think these breakfast choices are healthy. But then, the oat is mostly the instant kind and the flours used for bread are decomposed and then put together in same ratios as whole grains... I don't like oatmeal because it tastes bland and the texture is disgusting. But I love buckweat in any form. I also love millet and barley. So I ditched the bread and eat my eggs with those (the only animal product I still eat because of choline mainly). Wheat and oats are actually borring besides these grains/"grains"
You kind of answer your own questions? Why white bread seem the same as whole grains bread? Well because they are all first make into flour before they are make into board. Food structure between the two board is nearly the same. We did countless experiements on white vs whole grain, they are nearly the same, as long as they are being make into bread. The only different between the two is that whole grain have bit more nutrition compare to white.
We shouldn't eat starchy vegetables?
If you look at the daily dozen ap, starchy vegetables are counted under "other vegetables", and he recommends 1 cup of these (cooked) per day. The category is bigger than starchy vegetables, but he doesn't say you shouldn't eat them, just that you should also eat grains.
Why am I, and so many other people, allergic to wheat? You can be allergic to wheat without being celiac. Wheat is one of the top eight known food allergens.

Dr. Greger tells us on his website (videos and probably articles) that most folks are not wheat sensitive or gluten intolerant.
I think we have so many allergies these days because folks aren't eating enough fiber, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. And dairy. When I got away from dairy, my life-long problems with sinuses (many doctor visits and tests in my first 20 years because I suffered so much). Turns out that when I stopped drinking milk on a regular basis, that I had ZERO hay fever/allergies problems at all. No one ever thought that dairy could be bad for us in those days...not anybody we knew-including the MD's.
WFPB for 6 years not--healthiest I've ever been, despite being 54.
You may notice your gluten tolerance will vary when you're not in the U.S. I have a friend who is straight up celiacs and can eat pasta in Italy. U.S. wheat is spliced to be higher in gluten because gluten is highly pest-resistant. I get bloating from gluten here but in Italy I can eat all the bread and pasta and be fine.
@@pittielover202 Nope. Reacted to rye bread in Germany. 😢 😭
Do you know whether Dr. Greger ever addressed the issue of dried fruits in general (dried figs, dried dates, raisin, etc...) ? Particurally during recent lockdown periods, I ate tons of dried figs !
I love dried figs and apricots [both from Turkey], but they are higher calorie density and glycemic index and are not good for weight loss.

Just because people could eat more quick oats vs. rolled oats or steel cut oats doesn’t mean it’s worse.
The more processed feed the gut microbe less effectively.

& not once eva mention *GLUTEN* & its consequences
I think it's only for people with celiac's disease (at least that's what I learnt in nutrition school). I have so many friends who believe they are allergic to gluten but are not celiac. Are you gluten intolerant?
