Sprouted Wheat

[Guest guest]

Has anyone read the article posted on Dr. Mercola's website about toxins in

sprouted wheat grains? Here's an excerpt:

" Additionally, sprouted grains, which are typically considered to be healthful

fare can also be problematic for a couple of different reasons. Not only do

sprouted whole wheat contain the highest amounts of wheat lectin, sprouted

grains also contain benzoxazinoids (BAs)—a surprisingly toxic component! "

I shouldn't fail to mention though that some of these anti-nutrients are the

compounds responsible for the medicinal aspects of plants, and some can be

overcome by cooking and the story isn't black and white.

You have to be careful or you can kind of freak out over what you can and can't

eat... " Am I slowly poisoning myself by eating this veggie even though

scientists say it's healthy? "

or

" What plants can I eat, they all have some kind of toxin in them!? "

If you listen to your body it will eventually tell you if it doesn't like what

you're giving it. If you suspect a food isn't agreeing with you, pick a day to

fast, and eat it raw. Note how you feel, energy, mood, etc over the course of

the day from the time you eat it. Adjust the amount you consume to what works

for you. This is why mono-meals can be helpful, they isolate a food in your

system so you can gauge it's effects.

Then you add to this that some foods can make other foods more digestible or

assimilable and things can start to get confusing. But if you make your

decisions based on what happens during mono-meals you're less inclined to err.

Here's some more info...but think about what she's saying, I can't guarantee the

info is accurate, just something to chew on.

My belief, even if I don't always act on it, is, if something isn't easily

digestible for you raw by itself, then it's not really food for you, even if it

doesn't immediately kill you. I really enjoyed my homemade hash browns this

morning, but I know I'm not doing the best I can for my body by eating such

things.

Yes, antinutrients are pretty common in the plant kingdom. Sprouting pretty well

any seed, including nuts, deactivates some antinutrients while activating

others.

This is why no matter what anyone tells you is a good and healthy food, with all

best intentions, you have to determine for yourself if your genes can tolerate

it. And especially if you have a mixed ancestry, where the types of food you can

assimilate might be all over the map.

Pretty well everyone can digest meats (especially if they're raw) And most can

digest fish.

Some can tolerate dairy, some eggs, some seafood, some veggies, some fruits,

some grains/gluten, some only if fermented (same with dairy), some nuts/seeds,

some tubers.

The challenge is to determine if you just don't digest a particular food or if

you are sensitive to it because of imbalance/toxicity.

This means if you're on some sort of healing regimen diet-wise, food you can't

tolerate or thrive on now, you may be able to later. I can handle a lot more

fruit now, that 4 years ago before I went RVAF (raw animal and vegetable foods)

I couldn't even eat a small amount without exhibiting symptoms particular to my

health issues.

I still go easy on fruits and sugars, but if I want to, I can eat a lot more of

them healthfully than ever before.

Health is a personal journey for each and every one of us. What one member of

your family can eat fine, another member might find to be downright toxic!
