Why Hole Grains are Best
Ok, the contest is over, and most of you got it right:
There is NO dirt in a hole.
It was a trick question, kind of like "Which is healthier: whole
grains or refined grains?"
Truth is, neither whole or refined are that good for you.
Like most kinds of food, there is some good and some bad.
For every "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", there's
someone saying that apples have too much sugar.
So, which kind of grain is best?
Whole grains have more vitamins and fiber; refined grains
have fewer inflammatory compounds. Or so I've heard.
There seems to be debate about grains, just like there is
about soy, saturated fat, and yes, apples.
The trouble with cereal grains, such as wheat, corn, rice and
oats is that they have lots of bad fats (too much inflammation)
and increase your blood sugar (too much insulin).
So that's why 'hole' grains are best. As in none.
But my goal is not to turn you into a "grain-o-phobic". That
wouldn't be any better than the "fat-o-phobic" or "carb-o-phobic"
diet failures of recent history.
My goal is to help you become a grain-avoider, or grain-
limiter, or at least a grain-understander...but most importantly
a health-supporter.
The more you know about the nature of your food (and your
not-so-recent history), the easier it is to make better food
choices to keep the insulin steady and the inflammation down.
The best way to keep the inflammation down is to balance all
those Omega-6s found in grains with leafy greens and
Concentrated Omega-3 Pharmaceutical grade Fish Oil.

The better you can reduce, avoid and eliminate grains from
your diet, the better your overall health will be, and the
closer you'll be to eating the way your body is designed to
eat.
