Have been reading some info on humans eating wheat and other grains. The info says most grains cause us problems, even serious health problems, with wheat (including whole grain) being about the worse and brown rice being about the best as far as not causing an array of health problems. Its kind of mind blowing considering that whole grains and greatly processed grains are in so many of our foods! A major point the book talks about is that humans did not evolve to digest grains as ruminants did (like cattle, etc..) but only resorted to grains ages ago during hard times to prevent starvation. Studies mentioned show that many native peoples who eat "modern" foods end up with many of the modern health problems but when returning to their much earlier types of food from foraging and or hunting that most regained much better health. Anyway something to consider the next time foods made with lots of grains are before us.
