The Whole-Grain Hoax

February 24, 2011

The Whole-Grain Hoax

“Whole grains are your best bet,” declares the Harvard School of Public Health website. Don’t be afraid of carbs from whole grains. They’re good for you, the site says.

The modern health industry and big business do a lot of advertising, advising and talking about how good for you whole grains are. And now everyone seems to have fallen for the whole-grain lie. Even the smart people at Harvard.

What they should be warning you about are the whole grains.

The whole idea behind eating a grain “whole” is this: Your body breaks down dietary starch – carbohydrates – into glucose, spiking your blood sugar. If a grain is left whole, you won’t break it down as fast, and it won’t raise your blood sugar.

It sounds like a nice theory, but it doesn’t work in the real world.

Additionally, high counts of these bacteria have been attributed to healthy immune function response.

The researchers also found a reduction in triglycerides (high triglycerides are associated with heart disease and diabetes), and decline in C-reactive protein, which is a potent marker of inflammation associated with risk of heart attack.

Several other studies in recent years have shown that regular intake of dark chocolate can lower blood pressure.
