hey guys I’d enter the question related

to is it okay to consume whole wheat

flour versus refined grains is it

healthier can I do it okay well then

let’s just talk about this because

there’s many different pieces to this

our whole grains healthier than refined

grains absolutely but not by much

first of all grains are seeds okay so

when you go from a seed to making a

flower you have to grind it so flowers

just basically milled seeds and when you

do that you expose it to oxygen when you

expose the inside of the seed to oxygen

you oxidize it and you destroy the

vitamins very quickly within days so

when you’re consuming whole wheat the

question is when was that that grain

ground down into flour and then they

made into a bread probably months and

months ago so you’re consuming something

that is pretty stale now they have to

put all sorts of things in there to

preserve it like to stop the mold growth

and different chemicals that’s on top of

everything else but you’re not consuming

bread that’s been ground down the day

before

all right that’s number one so you don’t

have the nutrition number two the

glycemic index which is how fast it

turns into sugar in your blood and

raises the blood sugar from wheat bread

is 75 now think about this

anything over 70 is pretty high on the

scale Wonderbread is 73 whole wheat is

69 it’s still pretty high sugar 68 so

whole wheat has a higher glycemic index

than actual sugar and of course the USDA

recommends you should have between 6 to

8 ounces of grains per day I wonder why

that is would probably have some

sponsors there and that’s like six to

eight slices of bread a day so not to

mention the gluten in the grains and the

phytic acid in the grains which prevent

the absorption of nutrients so there’s a

lot of issues with grains in general so

the next time someone tells you to start

consuming whole grains just remember

this and from

nation thanks for watching hey tell me
