It's time for another 'results first, beliefs second- nutrition' post. This one has been on my mind since day one, and primarily because of so much confusion surrounding grains. Another banned food by many, grains have a negative association that I hope to make clear.
The Belief - Grains have only been around for roughly 10,000 years (or with the inception of more modern agriculture), therefore we are not suited to consume them.
The Truth - Yes, grains have been around for roughly that time but results show that we have eaten and thrived on variations of them for thousands of years. Most of the negative grain press or studies done have been done on those of poorer quality in a manner that's not traditionally prepared.
As you can see by now I'm not one to demonize food. The reason; we are all different AND all of these things have shown the RESULTS
