Starch - The Delicious Devil

“Vegetables are, in general, moderate to high sources of iron, but bread and pasta products have iron supplemented in this country, and that in itself is reason to totally give up bread and pasta, because you are actually seeing a serious increase in iron overload diseases in this country.” -Ray Peat

“Much of the current concern about the dangers of fructose is focussed on the cornstarch- derived high fructose corn syrup, HFCS. Many studies assume that its composition is nearly all fructose and glucose. However, Wahjudi, et al. (2010) analyzed samples of it before and after hydrolyzing it in acid, to break down other carbohydrates present in it. They found that the carbohydrate content was several times higher than the listed values. “The underestimation of carbohydrate content in beverages may be a contributing factor in the development of obesity in children,” and it’s especially interesting that so much of it is present in the form of starch-like materials.” -Ray Peat, PhD

“You try to eat a healthy, calcium-rich diet. You watch your weight. You exercise. You do everything in your power to maintain strong bones because you want to be active well into your 70s and 80s.

You even make sure you have a nutritious breakfast of natural whole wheat squares topped cold, vitamin-D-fortified milk.

It sounds like a nutritious way to your day. But eating whole-wheat cereal and milk together may not be the best menu choice if you are trying to increase your bone mass. There are certain foods, like wheat, that block calcium absorption.”

“Many studies have found that sucrose is less fattening than starch or glucose, that is, that more calories can be consumed without gaining weight. During exercise, the addition of fructose to glucose increases the oxidation of carbohydrate by about 50% (Jentjens and Jeukendrup, 2005).”” -Ray Peat

"When starch is well cooked, and eaten with some fat and the essential nutrients, it's safe, except that it's more likely than sugar to produce fat, and isn't as efficient for mineral balance. -Ray Peat

“The Health Benefits of Sprouted Rice
Sprouting rice increases the overall percentage of nutrients and breaks down phytates. Phytates are naturally-occurring antioxidant compounds in grains. Phytates bind to minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium, or calcium which prevents your body from absorbing some of the nutrients in whole grains. But when phytates are broken down, the micronutrients in rice are easier for your body to absorb. That means sprouted rice provides even more minerals than regular rice. In addition to increased nutrients, sprouted rice contains much higher levels of the GABA which has significant benefits to your overall health.”

“In a nutshell (pardon the pun) – grains, seeds, nuts and legumes have high phytic acid content and act as anti-nutrients by lowering our blood phosphorous levels and blocking our body’s ability to absorb necessary minerals from our diet. These foods can ruin your teeth.”

White rice problem

I have a strange problem with white rice. Namely, after eating it, I feel very cold - hands, feet and in general. This cooling takes several hours. Interestingly, I don't have this problem after eating brown rice. In fact, I even feel warm after eating brown rice. What could this be related to...

“Thiamine deficiency is not something to be taken lightly. All sugars/starches use up thiamine when they are used to make energy. Thiamine acts as a cofactor for several enzymes used in oxidative metabolism so it is a very important vitamin.”

“Thiamin deficiency (causing beriberi and other problems) is most common among people whose diet mainly consists of white rice or highly processed carbohydrates in countries with high rates of food insecurity and among people with alcohol use disorder.”

With the thiamin deficiency information above, is it any wonder that this absurd American food pyramid, below, made a very sick nation? Add Round -Up aka glysophate on all of the inorganic wheat products and it really magnifies the saying that “you are what eat.”

“However, it is a common practice among farmers to spray their wheat crops with glyphosate immediately prior to harvest—doing so actually kills the plant, which speeds the required drying of the grain.”

Researchers Theorize That Roundup Causes Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity

Researchers theorize that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, may cause celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

“Inorganic grain crops, like wheat, are routinely sprayed with Round-up to dry out the crops quicker for early harvesting…

“Roundup conditioning must be well-timed and managed for the greatest value and harvesting efficiency.

• Treat crops only once the Roundup timing has been reached
• Employ coarse droplets and use low drift nozzles to safeguard margins and hedgerows
• Adjust sprayer boom so the spray pattern correctly covers the target
• Spray early in the day to optimise uptake in dry weather
• Leave crops for the statutory minimum of 14 days before harvesting
• Delay harvesting for up to 21 days post-treatment in unfavourable weather”

Roundup Use Pre-harvest

Roundup can be used pre-harvest of winter and spring cereals, (wheat, including Durum, barley and oats), oilseed rape, mustard, peas, field beans and linseed

“Extensive recent testing by the FDA foundthat long grain white rice, which is what most people eat, appears to have more arsenic than medium or short grain rice, but this may be because most of the shorter grains are produced in California, which has significantly less contaminated rice paddies than those in the South, such as in Texas or Arkansas, where most of the long grain rice is grown. So, it’s less long grain versus short grain than white rice versus brown rice, as the mean concentration of inorganic arsenic in parts per billion of long grain white rice is 102.0 and 156.5 in short, medium, and long grain brown rice, as you can see at 0:54 in my video.“

“As you can see at 2:06 in my video, the arsenic found in a daily serving of white rice carries 136 times the acceptable cancer risk, but brown rice is even riskier at 162.”

It’s not what you eat, though. It’s what you absorb. The arsenic in brown rice appears to be less bioavailable than the arsenic in white rice. The texture of brown rice may cut down on the release of arsenic from the grain, or perhaps the bran in brown rice helps bind it up. Regardless, taking bioavailability into account, the difference in arsenic levels in white versus brown rice may be a third more, rather than 70 percent more, as you can see at 2:57 in my video. This estimate, however, was based on an in vitro gastrointestinal fluid system in which researchers strung together beakers and tubes to mimic our gut, with one flask containing stomach acid and another intestinal juices. What happened when it was tested in humans? Yes, “evidence suggeststhat brown rice may contain more arsenic than white rice,” but the researchers aimed to determine how much is actually absorbed by measuring the urine levels of arsenic in white-rice eaters compared with brown-rice eaters. For the arsenic to get from the rice into your bladder, it has to be absorbed through your gut into your bloodstream.

“As you can see at 3:45 in my video, the urine of thousands of American test subjects who don’t eat rice at all still contains about 8 micrograms of toxic, carcinogenic arsenic a day. It’s in the air, it’s in the water, and there’s a little bit in nearly all foods. But, eat just one food—a cup or more of white rice a day—and your arsenic exposure shoots up by 65 percent to about 13 micrograms a day.”

“Numerous studies link consuming grains to inflammation. The most direct links focus on refined grains like wheat flour. But whole grains can also contribute to inflammation through various pathways.

Some of the ways that grains contribute to inflammation include:

• Excessive carbohydrate consumption
• Lectin damage
• Mycotoxins from molds
• Pesticides, including glyphosate
• ATI’s – Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors”

“Studies have found that 15 hours after consuming glutenous grains, gliadin can enter the bloodstream spreading antigenic sites through the body.

Eliminating grains containing gluten has been shown to reduce inflammation-related symptoms of arthritis, even for patients for whom traditional drug therapies were ineffective. [24]”

The Truth About Grains and Inflammation

Grains promote inflammation through various pathways, including excessive carbohydrates, antinutrients, and pesticides.
