Wonder bread does it 12 ways. Uh, oh. Four are no longer in contention.
Humans need protein and fats more than they need carbohydrates. Eggs are healthier than Cheerios. You can’t build a body on Cheerios, but your body can convert proteins and fats into carbohydrates.
Wonder bread does it 12 ways. Uh, oh. Four are no longer in contention.
For breakfast this morning I ate a large omelet made with 2 eggs, 2 slices of cheese, generous amounts of beef steak, onions, green, yellow and red peppers. I also had a couple slices of buttered sourdough bread washed down with a large glass of nonfat milk.
Yesterday, I made Belgian waffles and a generous amount of bacon. But at other times I often eat the standard variety of Cheerios, they do not contain a lot of sugar and they can be a part of a healthy meal. Your body and your brain are powered by carbohydrates not protein and fat. Refined products are obviously not as nutritious as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and dairy products. But the lack of nutrients by comparison does not automatically make refined products “unhealthy” to eat.
The human digestion system is far more complicated than commonly understood. The gut biome is much more important to overall health than is commonly acknowledged. Cutting out complete food groups as is suggested by many in this forum typically results in a less diverse and healthy gut biome. I have known countless people who believe in nutritional nonsense and nearly all have eventually suffered from health issues sometimes very serious.
The human body is amazing in so many ways including being able to survive less than optimal dietary choices. Genetics often make a huge difference in what can be consumed without serious consequences. Just because one person can live on nothing but meat for months at a time does not guarantee eating the same diet will work out well for others.
There’s a recent study out of England that says that beef causes diabetes. they are going crazy out there
Ah, a Cheerios denier.
There are also micronutrients in complex carbohydrates that are important to health. In addition to the usual vitamins and minerals, various healthy cofactors and phytochemicals are also found in fruits, vegetables, and grains.
The processing of cereals into breakfast foods, pastries, and most bread though effectively destroys or removes most of those nutrients. In compensation, the cereal manufacturers add in vitamins and minerals so as to get the ability by federal regulation to market their industrial concoctions as vitamin enriched or fortified. The result is like calling a Bloody Mary a health beverage because it has tomato juice and a celery stick to go with the vodka.
In truth, the best diet varies from person to person even in childhood. In celiac disease, for example, the gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley make cereals toxic and unhealthy for children. In other instances, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease makes more than a small measure of carbohydrate deadly in the long term.
Meanwhile, there are various preservatives in cereals and other processed foods that have ill effects. Often, they are toxic to the body or disrupt the bacteria in the gut that normally produce useful nutrients. Disruptions to the gut biome are even implicated in Parkinson's Disease and other disorders.
For anyone with ailments like celiac disease and NAFLD -- and there are millions of undiagnosed cases in the country -- eggs, ham, bacon, and vegetables are far better to eat than breakfast cereals, breads, pastries, and most processed foods. Even otherwise healthy people could do with less processed grains and simple carbohydrates. In short, we could do with less wheat, rye, and barley as people food.
