Re: Vegetarianism appears to be good, but hold the white bread!

Thanks :

Either there is something absolutely magical in the germ or bran (in

which case drop both the white and the whole grain), or there is some

remarkable combination of ingredients, one of them in the germ/bran

and the other in the white component, making the whole grain better

than any of its components individually.

It'll probably be thirty years before it is determined which it is.

P.S. I added extra spoonfuls of germ and bran to the soup I made for

the week this evening : ^ )

Why drop the whole grain? Time and again, whole grains are associated with

better health.....

I bet the " magic " is in the bran.

I 'spose there's good stuff in the germ also. Minerals, vitamins, etc.

More whole grain stuff:

Hi :

Because between 80% and 85% of the stuff in whole grain is exactly

the same stuff that is in white flour. So why eat any of the

apparently-bad 'white flour' part of the seed?

If whole grain is so much better than white flour it presumably must

be either the germ or the bran that is the reason. Unless there is

some magical combination, one part of which happens to be in the

white flour part of the seed.

But I am repeating myself, again : ^ )

Now it makes me wonder if the 'white flour' parts of other seeds may

be dangerous also, such as lentils, beans, ............ . My guess

is the structure of all plant seeds are probably pretty much similar,

endosperm + germ + bran?

Can't argue with you there!

Dunno- don't really eat any of 'em anyhow.

Magic food these days looks like buckwheat (not really a grain).

Hi :

Yep. I have both buckwheat and kasha (a toasted form of buckwheat)

in my soup recipe. The japanese eat quite a lot of buckwheat, mostly

in the form of noodles I believe. And they live long time - almost

as long as their okinawan subset.

I used to eat alot of buckwheat pancakes as a kid. My own kids prefer the

fluffy empty calorie kind!
