nutritional deficiencies of cereals

Three cereals: wheat, maize and rice together comprise at
least 75% of the world's grain production. It is clear that
humanity has become dependent upon cereal grains for the
majority of its food supply.

No vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin b12. The frightening
thing is that vitamin C cannot be created, it must be
gotten from food. Any diet using these grains as the main
source of carbohydrates will be deficient of these vitamins
especially C.

Yes, if you are poor, grains are your best bet. But there
are better grains than these. My fav- orite grains--indeed,
the only grains I eat--are barley and oats. I soak and
sprout them until their roots about one-quarter or three-
eighth inch long and then I steam them. You seem to be
coming around, tcomeau. If you'd like to order some organic
barley or oats sprouting seeds, try

http://www.sprouting.com/

This is Mumm's Sprouting Seeds, located in Canada, but they
ship overseas. If you would like any tips on how to sprout,
cook, and pre- pare the seeds, ask on this newsgroup. Aren't
whole grains wonderful? There's no need to cycle grains
through animals to enjoy their nu- trition.

Lysine is missing from them all. You missed listing the most
important nutrients, the building blocks of all human flesh,
amino acids.

Actually, dear, I don't eat "grains". I eat seedlings, that
is, sprouted grains, as I explain below.

Fermented foods are great, life style is a personal choice,
one can take nutritianal info into account if desired.
Humans eat/have eaten whatever surrounds them, we were
designed to do so. The "problems" you mention don't seem to
be the norm in those parts of the world where the diet is
75 percent refined carbs. I think the low carb gospel will
soon catch up to reality as some serious research is now
being done.

I see my role as setting the feet firmly on the ground
based on research evidence questions and answers as applied
to nutrition.. There is no new paradymn demonstrated, only
some wishful thinking and marketing fluff by some authors
of diet books. Get over it, carbs are not evil. "Better"
with regard to what evidence based benchmark is the
question. The assumption that carbs/grains/beans are
assumed bad one only need then show sprouts are in some
ways similar is an empty exercise.

Ah, I now know the error of my ways, it is my belief system,
I picked the wrong nutritional guru at whose feet to
worship. No wait, an idea is forming, yes, here it is, due
to my present iron/carb status how else could I behave but
to be in such a poor state of understanding, to fail to
grasp the golden thread of the master and be led into
nutritional lala land.

Ah, but an apple is neither a grain or bean, it is a highly
carb laden fancy bobble, a tool of the devil for sure.

Sprouts are not a whole lot better than the grain:

You believe what you want to believe, the rest of us will

No it is not. The last post was comparing sprouts to grains.
Pretty damned straightforward for those of us who aren't
mentally retarded.

Carbs, grains and beans are not the same and I have never
lumped them together as if they were the same. That is a
construct of your mentally deficient imagination,
paraphrasing an idiot, an empty exercise.

Your posts offer nothing to any of these discussions.
Consider yourself killfiled.

Many times a small amount is still a small amount. Sprouts
are infinitely better in many ways to the grain themselves
but they are still no panacea.

Other things that are fermented are black tea, sauerkraut,
wine, beer, mead, hard cider, some pickles, green olives,
black olives, coffee, cacao, citron, vinegar, food yeast,
yeast cultures, soy sauce, miso, tamari sauce, tempeh,
chinese red yeast, natto, tofu, fermented wheat gluten aka
minchin, idli, poi, fermented fish, chinese preserved eggs,
sour cream, some cheeses, kefir, skyr, taette, yogurt,
acidophilus milk, and buttermilk.

Note also that other vegetables such as spinach, chard, beet
greens, mustard greens, turnip greens are prepared in a
manner like that of sauerkraut. Green tomatoes can be
fermented in a manner that is similar but slower.

I couldn't resist as the book was within reach........
