Nah, we need to stop this food phobia shit. In most people now, the inflammation genes are not getting the signals they need from foods anymore. The answer is stimulating the Nrf2 anti-inflammation signals (as we did in the past), and rewilding our gene signals. Ween back into grains AFTER Nrf2 activation.

Great information. I keep a wide variety of grains in my house for my kids. I was hoping you would discuss ancient grains, like kamut and einkorn. Also, teff and spelt. Curious where they would fall in your list. Also, for someone trying to lose weight 🙋🏻‍♀️, is there a place for any of these grains, or would you say they would be solely to incorporate once reaching your goal weight? Also, does eating these grains (in flour form) along with sourdough change how you view them? We love sourdough kamut bread. My son is healing his gut eating sourdough daily. It’s pretty amazing (using organic AP flour and kamut with the sourdough starter).

Excellent as always! Thank you Thomas so much for taking the time to share your wonderful videos with us! What about Quinoa? How does that compare in all of this? And what about Oats?

If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t know what food to potentially consume. Love the technical, difficult to pronounce medical jargon you use in explaining this information. It helps me look really smart when I quote your information to my friends.

Thing is, buckwheat is VERY high in oxalates. After consuming for a couple of years or so, this might show up in kidney stone, and oxalate deposits in other parts of the body including bladder, colon and many other places. Sally K talks about this on You Tube. Talking from experience. Thought I found the ticket years ago, than symptoms started! Many grains are high in oxalates, oats ironically with higher glycemic index is low.

@trollmcclure1884

you'd see problems in places where people eat a lot of buckwheat. If oxalates are even so bad there could be a way how to neutralize it. Like sprouting. It's actually oxalic acid, isnt it? Spinach is cooked with diary to neutralize it. IDK, IMO it mostly happens when you are chronically dehydrated and a concentrated urine sits in kidneys for too long. Some people eat lot of oxalates without any problem

@@trollmcclure1884 Like everything, there are variables involved. Yes calcium will actually bind to oxalic acid (and people thing it is calcium that actually causes the stones, deposits). I myself, drink a ton of water. But, I also was in the acquired habit of eating buckwheat for breakfast, every day. Other things are high in oxalates as well, such as avocados and tomatoes. So, it is best to be aware of everything one consumes, how much, when etc. When we are young, we get away with a lot, but around 50ish is when symptoms will appear from years of living.

Oats aren’t any better than the rest. Oats are high in physic acid, and even if you were to soak them, they aren’t high in the enzyme phytase (an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid). Phytic acid is classified as an ‘anti nutrient’ because it can bind to other essential minerals within the gut cause deficiencies in the long run. Meat for the kings, oats for the peasants. But I guess in small amounts once in a blue moon wouldn’t be bad, just don’t make it a staple breakfast everyday like some other people are, unknowingly worsening their health.

Thomas, will you talk about oatmeal in terms of low carbs diet (not Keto). I was hoping to see "oats" in this video as one of the grains (good or bad) when I clicked it. I found I do better with my workouts when I have some carbs beforehand. My everyday meal before workouts is a bowl of oatmeal (plain, not instant) made from water, I add an applesauce (with cinnamon) cup and vanilla protein powder (Sun Warrior) to it. Is that a wise move? Post workout I have a protein shake with chocolate protein powder (Sun Warrior) and frozen whole strawberries blended together. The rest of my meals are pretty much Keto style meals.

How does pearled barley compare to whole?

I would say einkorn definitely belongs on the good list. The only one with two chromosomes, the only non hybrid wheat. What also makes grains much better is sprouting, and even further fermenting. In my opinion sprouted einkorn sourdough is the best all around. Sprouting can mitigate some of the anti nutrients and help absorb a little more minerals, as we know anti nutrient’s essentially inhibit mineral absorption. Sprouting and fermenting can make grains taste better, and easier to digest. I would look for a sprouted buckwheat if buckwheat is what you go with. One good thing about buckwheat you didn’t mention was it is the highest in magnesium, a tough mineral to get, but be sure it’s sprouted to even think about absorbing any of it. Lastly sorry but I’m nitpicking here, it’s pronounced say(she)ate, not say(tee)ate. I don’t know why that drives me crazy. Probably because you are so smart, and should know how to pronounce that word with all of your attention to detail in other areas.
