Whole grain is said to be better for you than refined grains, because the whole grain still has fibre. But when the whole grain is digested it becomes sugar in your blood. Checking your blood sugar after eating a bowl of porridge or two slices of toast will show you what happens when you consume those so-called healthy whole grains.
The Dietary Guidelines are based on studies that compares refined grains with whole grains. Unfortunately, they ignore all the research about low-carb diets that include no grains. By the way, there is no carbohydrate, including any grain, that is essential for any human diet.

For years, I've been looking for studies that show that eating whole grains is healthier than avoiding them. I've never found one. All the studies compare whole grains to refined grains and of course, they look less harmful. It's like comparing the eating of refined arsenic to arsenic ore and concluding that eating arenic ore was healthy because you died slower. |
