the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have recommended that Americans eat
six to eleven servings of bread and other grain foods every day, and many
consumers dutifully purchase wheat bread as opposed to white bread because
they believe it is more nutritious. The American Academy of Pediatrics even says
that “whole-wheat bread offers a nutritional advantage over white bread.”
While this may be true to some extent, wheat bread is likely to cause most
people’s health to decline. It is easy to be skeptical of this position as I was
certainly fooled by the conventional position that organic whole grains are healthy
for all. It took me 15 years of study after medical school to wake up the reality
that grains — yes even organic whole grains, and especially wheat — are a
major reason why many people suffer from a wide variety of illnesses.
The primary reason why grains will most likely worsen your health is that they will
typically increase your insulin levels. But how do you know if your insulin levels
are increased?
Well, you could have your doctor run a blood test as it is not very expensive. Or
you could just look at the following list of conditions and if you have one of them
you can be virtually assured you are struggling with high insulin levels.
Overweight
High blood pressure
High blood cholesterol
Type 2 diabetes
Cancer
