Antioxidant activity of grains.

Adom KK, Liu RH.

Department of Food Science, Cornell University, Stocking Hall, Ithaca,
New York 14853-7201, USA.

"Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of whole grains
and grain-based products is associated with reduced risk of chronic
diseases. The health benefits of whole grains are attributed in part to
their unique phytochemical composition. However, the phytochemical
contents in grains have been commonly underestimated in the literature,
because bound phytochemicals were not included. This study was designed
to investigate the complete phytochemical profiles in free, soluble
conjugated, and insoluble bound forms, as well as their antioxidant
activities in uncooked whole grains. Corn had the highest total
phenolic content (15.55 +/- 0.60 micromol of gallic acid equiv/g of
grain) of the grains tested, followed by wheat (7.99 +/- 0.39 micromol
of gallic acid equiv/g of grain), oats (6.53 +/- 0.19 micromol of
gallic acid equiv/g of grain), and rice (5.56 +/- 0.17 micromol of
gallic acid equiv/g of grain). The major portion of phenolics in grains
existed in the bound form (85% in corn, 75% in oats and wheat, and 62%
in rice), although free phenolics were frequently reported in the
literature. Ferulic acid was the major phenolic compound in grains
tested, with free, soluble-conjugated, and bound ferulic acids present
in the ratio 0.1:1:100. Corn had the highest total antioxidant activity
(181.42 +/- 0.86 micromol of vitamin C equiv/g of grain), followed by
wheat (76.70 +/- 1.38 micromol of vitamin C equiv/g of grain), oats
(74.67 +/- 1.49 micromol of vitamin C equiv/g of grain), and rice
(55.77 +/- 1.62 micromol of vitamin C equiv/g of grain). Bound
phytochemicals were the major contributors to the total antioxidant
activity: 90% in wheat, 87% in corn, 71% in rice, and 58% in oats.
Bound phytochemicals could survive stomach and intestinal digestion to
reach the colon. This may partly explain the mechanism of grain
consumption in the prevention of colon cancer, other digestive cancers,
breast cancer, and prostate cancer, which is supported by
epidemiological studies."

Whose life is boring? Maybe you should try eating more food in order
to make your pain go away?

I didn't know this was a high fat forum. While I eat a mediterranean
type diet and use olive oil and fatty fish, I didn't realize that this
forum was not for people with an opposite view. Ornish and Pritikin
seem to have gotten very good results with their diets although
exercise plays a prominent part in their eating plans. I have to admit
that I eat whole grains and think they are an important part of my
diet. But so are fish and olive oil and occasional chicken and turkey.
I think the Atkins diet is dangerous to one's health but like to read
information about it. Who knows? Maybe I will change my mind about
it. It wouldn't be the first time. Is it just one person's opinion
that this is only a high fat forum or do most people agree with this?
Was this forum originally meant to be a high fat forum?

You're cross-posted to about 6 groups. So far as I know, none of them are
"high fat forums", especially the diabetes groups I'm seeing it on.

A mediterranean diet isn't necessarilly an opposite view. This is a
Low Carb newsgroup and for many of the regulars here the choice to go
LC has been a miracle of a decision. From what I know about a
mediterranean diet I would guess that much of your philosophy agrees
with the concensus with the possibility of pasta being an exception.
That being said, if you stick around long enough you will probably find
that the regulars are generally quite accepting of others views. The
problem is that for some reason this group tends to attract a lot of
Trolls who do nothing but attempt to stir things up.

Does here too. As far as Ornish and Pritkin their plans do work for
some individuals and for those it works quite well. For others, myself
included, attempting to eat a low fat high carbohydrate diet does
nothing but put us off the binging cliff. We have found that our own
body chemistry is such that it doesn't work. I tend to agree with
Atkins when he said in his book that Ornish and Pritkin are to be
commended because they are attempting to do something about a "growing"
problem. In his own book he says that they have acchieved successfully
results., but their plan doesn't work for everyone and for that matter
niether does LC.

Why do you believe that it is dangerous? Reading this group alone will
provide you with a lot of testimonials from individuals who's health
has improved dramatically, according to their doctors. Is it dangerous
because it allows consumption of saturated fat? Recent studies are
(finally) proving that saturated fat isn't the nemesis that it was
ASSUMED to be.

LC is not Low Fat and if it is not Low Fat there may be a natural to
call it High Fat. Of course this idea will put fear into many because
they have been successfully brain washed that low fat is the only
healthy option. Many beginners think that the only things you can eat
are meat, eggs and cheese. While this is probably how many begin
after a short while you learn to include a wider variety of foods. A
common statement is that after getting used to LC that you start eating
a hell of a lot more vegetables and some fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. All
of these healthy items are taking the place of what was predominantly
processed carbohydrates and sugar. As far as being "high fat" when
one considers the percentage of calories that come from fat, yes it is
probably a 'high fat' diet. However, the amount total fat that is
consumed is quite often no higher than it was prior to going LC/

Indeed. I am reading this thread on sci.med.nutrition

I guess Dorsy was referring to the low-carb group.

I looked up Google Groups for the charter of
alt.support.diet.low-carb.

It just says:

|Charter: This group is for the discussion of low-carbohydrate weight
|loss plans, and for providing emotional support to others who follow
|those plans.


BTW, how "low" is "low-carbohydrate"?

Hello again John! I see you're still with us in ASDLC. That tells me
you've decided that you're ready to make a change. I'm sure you'll
find plenty of support as you abandon some of the not-so-healthy
aspects of your "whole grain". From now on you can count on me (and
I'm sure others will jump in as well) to take an active hand in guiding
you along.

Okay, first things first. You aren't overweight so this process is
going to be primarily about eating healthier for you. Step one is the
painful one. You're going to have to get rid of the junk food
masquerading as whole grain in your kitchen. Granola bars - big no-no.
Yes, they're "whole grain". They're also sugar-laden ****. Throw
them all out. Same with granola and muesli if it's sweetened. Rice
cakes, puffs, popcorn, all go in the garbage. If the label has added
sugars they're ****. Honey, molasses, it doesn't matter what they call
it - it's ****. Good luck!

It was Mr. Natural that cross posted the original message to all the
groups, probably in a desperate effort to show off his ignorance. For
some reason, he seems to be Trolling on the LC newgsgroup recently and
apparently he is unhappy that he isn't able to get everyone to see the
"whole grain light" so he is probably branching out to the paleolithic
and diabetes groups and throwing in the sci.med.nutrition for good
measure.

It is as low as it needs to be for the individual, is determined on an
individual basis, and is a real "Your Milage May Vary" topic. There is
no "magic" number such as under 30% or 10% like is common with low fat,
with the exception of Atkin's recommendation that you start out at
under 20g of carbohydrates per day as his (experimental) experience
showed that this level was affective for 95% of the poeple.

Since you're cross-posting to about half a dozen
newsgroups, how can anyone answer your
question?

Which one? You're posting to several.

I wouldn't consider exercise to be part of an eating plan at all. You
can have an eating plan and an exercise plan (or one and not the
other), and there's no relationship between the two except what you
make up in your own mind.

You haven't studied it yet, but you already think it's dangerous.
Interesting.

Re: cross posting. Being computer illiterate and a former web tv user,
I wouldn't know how to cross post, but when I replied to the person who
criticized someone for being a moron because he is posting on a high
fat group, my computer screen said I had posted to several different
groups. If that is bad, I do not know how to correct it since I just
click on the word reply at the bottom of the posts.

In the late nineties, I had web tv and I remember there were many
debates on sci.med.nutrition about high carb vs low carb but I don't
ever remember that it was considered a low carb, high carb or high fat
group. That's why I wanted to know if things had changed over the
years to a high fat forum as DB said it is.

When using Google, don't use the "Reply" at the bottom of the message.
Use the "Reply" at the top, in the heading. It will give you more
options. One of them is you'll be able to see (and remove or add)
groups in the "To" header. The groups are separated by commas, so just
remove all but the one you want to reply to.

Click on the "Show Options" then the "Reply".

Just to clarify.

Depends on the plan and on the individual. Generally 100 grams per
day per less will count as low carb by most but some chose lower
boundaries.

Also, since Atkins as the actual directions go is a process that is
custom tuned based on the body's actual reactions, the final carb
level a person ends up at might not even count as low carb or
miht be as low as 15 grams per day. It varies that much from
person to person, though either extreme is rare. It really follows
the usual bell-shaped curve with losing centered near 50 and
maintenance centered near 100.

So for an encore will Mr Natural ignore the high rate of lactose
intolerance worldwide and go on a campaign about how wonderfull
dairy must automatically be to every human on the planet? ;^)
