All
Grains Are Complex Carbs by Dr. John Poothullil
My name is John Poothullil and I am a
retired doctor. I have been studying “food intake and the role of grains” for
over twenty years.
Experts tell us that eating whole grain will
give us a lot of fiber and fiber associated nutrients compared to eating refined
grains. What you may not be aware of is that you are also consuming a lot of
unnecessary glucose or sugar in the form of complex carbohydrate.
For example if you take 100 grams of
refined rice you will consume 80 grams of complex carbohydrate the same amount
of whole grain rice will give you seventy seven grams of complex carbohydrate.
In other words you are practically consuming the same amount of carbohydrates.
What is wrong with that whether the complex carbohydrate comes from wheat or
rice or corn, each molecule of complex carbohydrate can have up to 200,000
molecules of glucose.
Yes each molecule of complex
carbohydrates can have up to 200,000 molecules of glucose. So you are eating an
enormous amount of glucose that the body may not be able to use between two meals.
The body will convert that into fat and you gain weight.
If you want to control your weight in a more
natural way, the best approach would be to avoid grain and grain flour products.
