That’s the traditional way corn was treated so it didn’t kill people yep roundups in your oats even some of the organic variey these are anciently good at making you ancient hello and welcome back to another episode of gut instincts I’m your host Dr Steven gundry and I’m.
Excited to share some insight into everyday ingredients that may be a part of your diet today we’re diving into a variety of flowers not the kind you give your significant other the kind you tend to bake with now be sure you don’t mix them up on the first day I’ll be ranking these grains from s to f s stands for superfood and f means it belongs in the.
Trash before we dive in make sure to tickle that subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up if you’re ready to enhance your gut health with me let’s go how about everybody’s favorite allpurpose flour first of all this is from wheat and as you probably know my patients have antibodies to the various proteins in wheat so allpurpose flour.
Gets the first F of the day whole wheat flour everybody knows that whole wheat is good for you right not did anybody ever see any whole grains of Wheat and whole wheat flour of course not it’s been ground to a fine pulp that means there’s there’s nothing whole in whole wheat flour it also means that some of the nastiest lectin that weren’t present.
In allpurpose flour are in full wheat flour and that’s wheat germ of glutenin and spoiler alert my patients react to wheat germ of glutenin so whole wheat flour is a no no as well it’s down in the a one popular choice which is not bad is almond flour now make sure when you’re looking at the label that it says Bland almond flour because the peel of.
An almond actually has a pretty mischievous lective for most people it’s it’s pretty good I’ll give it an a certainly a whole lot better than allpurpose and all wheat flour now another great choice is coconut flour coconut flour is full of fiber and it does have some MCT oil in it trouble with coconut flour is it really really.
Needs a lot of water to work as an ingredient and as long as you know the ratios to use and use other flowers mixed with coconut flour it’s actually one of my favorites so it’s it’s going up as a super food rice flour bad choice couple reasons once you grind rice into a fine powder it is instantaneously turned into sugar in your bloodstream.
And it’s actually becomes sugar faster in your bloodstream than actually eating sugar so it’s way down on the list as well okay okay it’s time for a quick quiz now there are two facts and One Lie About chickpea flour can you guess which one is the LIE chickpea flour is not gluten-free two chickpea flour is packed with fiber three chickpea flour is also.
Known as Graham flour ready the answer is number one does have the benefit of being completely gluten-free but it’s not lectin-free let’s get back to the list chickpea flour now that sounds like a great idea you see it more and more you see chickpea pasta but.
Chickpeas are part of the legume family and they are loaded with lectin so even though this sounds like a glutenfree option for those of you trying to go gluten-free it is not lectin-free and I see so many people thinking they’re being safe with chickpea flour it’s down in the F category darn buckwheat flow now you know when I was first.
Researching lectin years ago I was pretty dog on excited about buckwheat because buckwheat seem to meet all the criteria I was looking for except buckwheat is loaded with lecons so as much as I really wanted to like buckwheat flour darn it it’s not any good down in the app well you’re saying but what about everybody’s favorite oat.
Flour oats aren’t gluten but oats have a protein that cross reacts with gluten almost all of our oats in the United States even the organic ones test positive for are you ready for this Roundup yep roundups in your oats even some of the organic varieties that’s glyphosate for you purist plus there is a herbicide that is against the law to.
Be sprayed on oats to stunt the stock grow so it’s easier to harvest that the EPA now allows at much higher concentrations even though it causes cancer and every oat product tests positive for this herbicide oat flour as a lectin cross reacts with gluten it’s loaded with herbicides and pesticides if let’s try quinoa flour well everybody.
Knows that the Incas lived on quinoa what everybody doesn’t know is that the Incas did not eat quinoa without first fermenting it they let the bacteria eat the lectin and then they cooked it that’s not what’s done with quinoa flow so quinoa is loaded with a nasty LEC it’s it’s going to it’s a d but it’s really enough oh millet flour and.
Sorghum flour it turns out that Millet and sorghum do not have a hull they’re one of the few grains that don’t have halls and it turns out the hall contains most of the lectin so both mil millet flour and sorghum flour are lectin free fun facts Millet in particular is very drought tolerant it requires extremely low amounts of water to grow and quite.
Honestly in the time of drought taking over the world Millet is now looked at as a super grain for so many reasons with a Proviso so that’s a superfood Millet and sorghum now before we really say oh my gosh I finally found something I can use understand that whenever we take a whole food like Millet or sordum and grind it.
Up into a fine powder it becomes much more easily digested and much quicker to turn into sugar in our blood and I see many of my well-meaning patients who go crazy for millet flour food sorghum flour food their triglycerides raise so you got to be careful with this this is not free food Ry flour sorry Rye is loaded with gluten it is not a.
Substitute for anything else it’s right there in the F list sorry about that how about flax seed flour ah now flax seed flour so the great thing about flax seeds are they’re loaded with short chain omega-3 fats they’re loaded with fiber they’re actually a low FODMAP fiber for you folks who are FODMAP conscious in other words they don’t.
Produce a lot of gas the problem with flex seed flour is once you grind flax seeds they go rancid very very quickly so do me a favor either buy your flax seed flour in the refrigerator section of your health food store and keep it in the refrigerator or better yet by whole flax seeds get yourself a coffee grinder they’re cheap and grind your own flax.
Seeds they’re really a superfood as long as you understand that never buy them just sitting out cornflour cornmeal this is another lectin loaded food folks and one of the reasons I see my patients after going gluten-free is that corn is in much of their gluten-free food and almost every one of them reacts to it now interestingly enough traditionally.
Corn meal was never made without treating the corn with lie and turning it into Masa Arena Masa flow that removes the hall where most of the Mischief comes from so if you see masah harina flour that’s your best option for cornmeal and it it’s becoming more available that’s the traditional way corn was treated so it didn’t kill.
People so cornflour if you find masarina uh we’ll give it a SE banana flour first of all banana flour look for the words green banana green banana is loaded with fiber that has not turned to sugar and green banana is one of of your best baking opportunities and the good news is it doesn’t really taste like banana so it’s a superfood but make sure it.
Says green banana flour so aerrow root flour is also a really good flour that’s pretty much pure Prebiotic fiber and it doesn’t have any lectin most Roots uh don’t have lectin they use a different system of protecting themselves so aerrow root flour as well as tapioca flour another cousin the Cava flour cassava and tapioca flour are almost the.
Same all of these are really useful for another workable flour with the Proviso that I talked about before once you grind up these things into a fine powder they turn into sugar rapidly so use with caution but we’re going to put Tapioca And aerrow root and cassava flour up in the aist you can absolutely use them for baking IR corn and Bel flour well these.
Sound like Ancient Grains and you see them advertised as ancient grain sorry folks ancient wheat is the same as wheat and just because it’s old wheat doesn’t make it any safer they’re both loaded with gluten and all the other wheat proteins don’t buy into the ancient grain marketing hype these are anciently good at making you ancient all right all.
Right super ones coconut flour sorghum flour millet flour flax seed flour you grind yourself or keep refrigerated green banana flour almond flour tapioca flour AER root flour Cava flour these are all great baking options please please be away from this these are the troublemakers in your diet when we remove these troublemakers folks your.
