Is Whole Wheat/Whole Grain Bread Healthy?

The word "repeater" comes up many times in this blog and this issue is no exception. If you ask someone on the street what is a healthy bread most will "parrot" out the answer provided to them by the food guide (the food pyramid in the U.S), the TV or their government sanctioned health professional etc.

You know the answer...........many people think whole wheat bread, 7 or 12 grain bread etc is really healthy. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth and this slight of hand in the world of nutrition can be fatal. (not exaggerating here)

When you get "wrong" results, wrong information is always at the root of the problem. The fact that most people who eat whole wheat or whole grain breads (containing gluten based grains) are not healthy does not stop the same people from trumpeting its' health benefits.

The funny thing about living inside "the matrix" is that false advertising can trump observational evidence every time. That means advertising can make people draw conclusions about products that are not based on what results the people are receiving from those products. (ex. Special K is a weight gainer but the advertising tells people it is good for weight loss so many believe it is good for weight loss yet gain weight from it or do not lose any weight while eating it.....yet they will never change their weight loss programming about the Speical K)

Click here or watch the same video below to learn why whole grain bread (made from wheat or other gluten based grains) is not only unhealthy but it can end your life very prematurely. Dr. Mark Hyman provides the information.



Avoid the diseases caused by gluten by consuming gluten free breads like rice bread. You can get this rice bread in Cornwall at Baxstrom's in the organic freezer. Sprouted Ezekiel wheat/buckwheat (buckwheat is gluten free) bread from Food For Life is also available at Baxstrom's in the same freezer, in the organic section.

Sprouted breads somewhat deactivate the negative effects of gluten as well. Rice bread eliminates the gluten reaction (because rice is free of gluten) and sprouted Ezekiel bread reduces the gluten reaction. Avoid wheat based pastas as well and move toward organic rice pastas. Rice is gluten free and you can also find organic rice pastas at Baxstrom's in Cornwall.

The fact that the Canadian Food Guide endorses the mass consumption of gluten based grains and that our local health unit fails to educate the public on the dangers of gluten should come as no shock to anyone who reads the blog on a regular basis.

The idea is to know that profit based manipulation of government systems will always be present within our society. In order to stay safe all you need to do is recognize and avoid the fibs. Just avoid the traps our government and the unhealthy corporations set for us. Just walk around the traps.

That is how you stay healthy. Just stop following the food guide or going to Health Unit and eventually they will cease to exist. The masses control the country, not the small number of business people who manipulate our system to push their unhealthy products. The general population has the power. You have the power and with every dollar you spend you cast a vote for what foods you want. Vote healthy.

Jason,
Some even say ALL grains are not intended to be consumed by humans. Including rice, legumes, beans etc. What are your thoughts about the diet that the stone age people ate (Paleo diet).

I like the Paleo based diets for sure. ALways remember to soak or sprouts all seeds before consuming them to get rid of phytic acid, an enzyme that blocks absorption of key minerals in the digestive track. Use your own results to guide yourself. Eating a Paleo diet will see your health soar compared to almost everyone else around you, if they are not eating the same. Anything other than processed garbage non organic foods is the first and most important step. Keep up the good work.
