hey guys today we’re going to answer the

question what is healthy about the heart

healthy Whole Grains now the American

Association of cereal chemists defined

these whole grains as any mixture of

bran andis perm and germ in proportions

one would expect to see in an intact

grain okay here’s a picture of an intact

grain which is a seed of grass okay so

these are seeds that turn into grass

that turn into plants

that’s what grains are and there’s three

different parts you have the brand which

is the outer part which is the fiber

trace minerals some B vitamins then they

got the germ inside B vitamins vitamin E

trace minerals phytonutrients healthy

fats and then you have the endosperm

which is basically all the carbohydrate

a little bit of B vitamins okay so whole

grain is any mixture of bran endosperm

and germ in proportions one would expect

to see an intact grain okay so they

expanded the definition to include even

grinding it so we’re not just talking

about an intact whole grain that you

would kind of soak and make some cereal

out of it’s basically you can grind it

as long as you put it back together and

according to the FDA all you need is 51%

of these three elements together in

proportion to call it a whole grain okay

so it could actually include some

refined grains so what I want to

differentiate is when you go to the

grocery store very few people are buying

actual grains as a whole berry and

soaking them and eating them like that

great majority of people are buying them

already ground down and the problem that

when you grind these whole grains even

try to put them back together they’re

still exposed to oxygen and oxygen is

what destroys vitamin E part of the beet

complex a lot of the phytonutrients a

lot of healthy fats so the more this

grain is exposed to air the more it’ll

go rancid the more it’ll be exposed to

mold and things like that so they have

to add chemicals to preserve it so it’s

not going to be that preserved and not

to mention all the processing when they

puff

the grain or they flake it to make

cereals and the other real big problem

is that when you buy whole grains you’re

not just buying whole grains a lot of

times we’re adding tons of sugar

sweeteners chemicals on top of the whole

grains and because it says heart-healthy

you think oh wow this is really healthy

I can go ahead and eat it and when we

talk about refined grains refined grains

are basically you’re removing the bran

and the germ okay it’s only the

endosperm which is all the carbohydrate

and of course because there’s not a lot

of vitamins in this they have to enrich

it with synthetic B vitamins and a toxic

metallic iron which is very toxic to

your body I did a video on that I’m

gonna put a link down below if you

haven’t seen it so unless you’re

consuming intact whole grains and you’re

letting them soak and you’re cooking

them correctly from my viewpoint it is

not very healthy and even intact whole

grains from my viewpoint is not good on

a ketogenic diet and whether something

is made with whole-grain flour or fine

grained it’s still very high on the

glycemic index even higher than actual

sugar all right thanks for watching and

put your comments down below
