Canada tops the list of countries with inflammatory bowel disease.
D’uh.
Up until last year, the food pyramid was sucking the dick of grain farmers, and had been for almost a century. For fuck sake, feeding a cow a steady diet of corn causes its guts to ulcer, leading to the need for all those pesky antibiotics in our food. Works the same for us humans.
Add to that the fact that Canada has a fucking WHEAT BOARD – basically, a non-government body telling the government what people should be eating, and having the government enforce it for them – and I’m surprised nobody made the correlation sooner.
Look, I’m not telling you to go all Ezekiel bread and gluten free. I’m just saying have a bit of common sense and trust your gut when it comes to feeding yourself and your family.
Sprouted grains for me….
Heart attack for me, started thinking- What causes clogged arteries? Inflammation that causes the LDL to work like a band-aid, What does gluten do to the intestine- cause inflammation. If it causes inflammation in the gut, why doesn’t it cause inflammation in the arteries. No reason why it shouldn’t, so I cut way back on the bread. Not all the way but a lot. No regrets.
