It's not the gluten.
Way back;
Prehistoric people were scavengers. No hunting, no gathering. Moving constantly. Eating anything and everything that was found. Walking long distance for food became easier when shoes were invented. Clothes and shelter helped to protect from the elements. Over a long time collection and storage of food improved survival. Life was tough and short..
Fire and energy;
Fire was harnessed and life advanced. Hot fire kept us warm, scared away predators and killed food germs. Fewer germs in food gave less food poisoning, improved nutrient release, easier to chew, and with greater release of energy. Intelligence increased profoundly from cooked food. Less food was required and more free time developed society and culture.
Grinding grains into flour;
The advent of flour further expanded our food supply, energy satifaction and it was easy to store for long periods of time.
Whole Grain History
In the late middle ages many people became ill. Their symtoms were pain, swollen joints, mental illness. The disease was named ergotism after the French word ergot, a debilitating disease caused from eating grass and cereal grains contaminated by fungi. All grasses and grains that grow in pastures are susceptable to a variety of mold and fungi. They attach and live on the surface of the husk more when the seed is ripe and ready for harvest. The plant learned to thicken the husk to protect it's seed from the disease called "rust". A huge problem for agriculture. Hiden by bleaching.
Ergot in the body is called LDL-Cholesterol. The proper name is LDL-Ergosterol, they are the same molecule.
Still today ergotism in livestock varies from year-to-year according to rainfall and temperatures. Extra moisture and increased temperatures cause more fungi to grow on grains and grasses. The middle age disease is still with us today. Some feel it as arthritis just before it rains.
Fungi on grains have many names [mycotoxicosis] dating back 100 million years ago. The isolated molecules to cause the stress and disease are alkaloids, similar to opium, heroin, LSD and other sedatives, halucinogens, mind altering drugs
The rise of white bread
The white bread culture started in the early 1900's. The health problems from whole grain ergotism was fixed by eating white bread. To acheive this both the husk (shell) and germ (seed) were carefully removed in a doulbe milling process. This added time and cost to produce unbleached white flour removed the side effects of egot..
The culture of white bread was strong in the 1970's.
- Trim
- energetic
- culturally acceptable to eat
- butter
- whole milk
- white bread
- Life was good
The fall of white bread
- Bleach
- loss to good taste
- destroyed nutrients
- loaded with additives
- excessive processing
Single milling the whole grain and bleaching it white was cheaper than double milling unbleached white flour. The taste was gone and sales declined while people began to understand the health limitations of 'bleached and fortified'. Flour produces needed for find a way to not have to go back to double milling.
Thh goal was to:
- increase sales
- promote whole grains
- keep the single milling process
- convince consumers of better nutrition
The culture of Whole Grains
The marketing campaigne paid off hansomely. People were happy to convince family and friends to only eat whole grains. People believed the fiction that whole grains have more health 'benefits'. It is now culturally inaceptalbe to eat whte flour products. Everyone got on the bandwagon while general health declined.
Sublte health issues such as:
- autism
- obesity
- biabetes
- brain fog
- dementia
- depression
- joint aches and pains
People think they are gluten intollerent
When they are really sick from whole grains
- Yes, gluten is a problem for some
- but, whole grains are a problme for everyone
Slogan:
"Most of the wheat's important nutrients are in the bran and the germ"
- True for Capital-Health
- Not true for biological-health.
Biological truth:
- bran, high in un-healthy LDL-Cholesterol (a.k.a. ergosterol)
- germ, high in inflammatory triglycerides
Unbleached white flour is safe and healthy
- all of the bran and germ is removed
- yes, it might cost more and be harder to find
- what is your favourite baker using?
- bleached
- unbleached
- whole grains
Rents are too high for businesses today. Maximum profit is required for wages and taxes. Small operators cannot compete with 'whole grains' and people have been well educated to seek out whole grains thinking they are 'a healthier alternative'.
What is at stake?
- Everyone's health
- Quality of life
Capital-profits are reduced when the bran and germs are removed.
We have been brainwashed and 'pay' the price to Capital-Health Care
Smart corporations knew to power and ease of brainwashing with cheap media.
Marketing has never been cheaper:
- Television, short lived ads, high cost
- Internet, long term ads, medium cost
- Social media, massive audience, little cost
A Corporate delight,
- massive cultural involvement,
- unbelievable distribution.
- unlimited authors
- volunteer ambassadors
History repeats itself.
- Sick again from whole grains
- Last time - ignorance
- This time - capital gain
- Media brainwashed people
- Capital-HealthCare endorsed
Some say "gluten intolerant", alkaloid poisoning for sure.

Points to remember:
Original brown bread
- The dark husk is where fungi as a mold grows without fail
- The fungal husk contains opiod-like substances
- the fungal ergotism diseases appeared in history
- joint pain
- knarled joints
- emotional distress
- mental problems
- anger
- autism
- dementia
- fatigue
Unbleaches white flour, double milled
- expensive
- time consuming
- potential loss of profit
Cheap white flour, bleached whole grain
- Bleaching the dark fungi destroys nutrients
- bleach destroys the taste and texture
- additives to enhance taste and texture
- a long list of additives and chemicals
- Fortified with vitamins are incomplete
Repeat history
- back to whole grain (brown) flour
- single milling

- addictive
- The seed
- contains plant phyto-estrogens
