Why Are Wheat and Rice So Bad for Your Health

Why Are Wheat and Rice So Bad for Your Health
First of all by default wheat refers to refined wheat and
rice refers to white rice. These are not whole grains. What
makes them so bad for you is the good stuff was taken out
and the bad stuff was left in. It is like taking a person
and taking the good out of them and leaving what is evil in
them. So when you eat these foods they need to rob your
body of the good things that were in them so you can digest
them.

Over time this destroys your health. Then they create all
these foods with wheat like pancakes, waffles, french
toast, cream of wheat, bread, pasta, muffins, biscuits,
soft and hard pretzels, cakes, cookies, crackers, donuts,
bagels, blintzes, perogies, lasagna, sandwiches, burgers,
pies, pizza and strombolis. Whole wheat and brown rice are
whole grains and so are not unhealthy.

The whole wheat is not great for health though, but it is
cheap. It is better to use other grains like rye, barley,
kamut, spelt, quinoa, millet and wild rice. Wild rice is
not a rice. It is the only grain that is native to North
America. The wheat and rice is originally with 3 parts. To
refine it, they take off the bran. This has most of the
fiber and a lot of anti-oxidants. This is then sold in the
heath food store. The wheat and rice are sold in the fat
and sick food store.

Then they take off the germ and that is sold in the health
food store. It has most of the nutrition. The part that is
left is called endosperm. That is what rice and wheat are--
rice and wheat endosperm. It is mostly carbohydrates. So
that is why this food makes you fat and sick. Whole wheat
may be bland but brown rice tastes as good as white rice.
It has a nuttier taste. Many Indians have switched from
basmati rice to brown basmati rice.

The Chinese/Japanese restaurant near me serves brown rice
and half the people going there request that. Cracked wheat
is good because it is raw. A friend of mine likes to cook
quinoa since it only takes 15 minutes to cook. Instead of
cream or wheat, you can buy buckwheat groats and make that
as a hot cereal. You can sweeten it with blackstrap
molasses or maple syrup. A very healthy grain to cook is
amaranth. It takes about 15 minute to cook. Wild rice takes
50 minutes to cook but Trader Joes sells it cooked so you
just need to heat it up. Copyright 2008 by Chuck Bluestein
