So is oxygen, yet it's still necessary. Just cut down on refined carbs and eat whole-grain.

if he thinks gluten is toxic to anyone without celiac disease, yeah.

Big Grain pushed the food pyramid on us as a ploy to sell more grains to Americans. People are healthiest subsisting on a diet high in protein, fat, dairy and leafy vegetables.

Based keto man.

They're not toxic, but most people eat too much bread and pasta and that ain't good. Eat more simple foods and colorful veggies. It's not hard.

It says to avoid grains in 1000 Chinese books on longevity.

Fuck keto lmao. But anon is right for the most part, although I think tubers & whole grains have their place.

>>12298758
only if you're glutarded
even then, you can still eat tons of grains

everything is toxic at high values/concentrations

so don't abuse it

Many do contain things dubbed 'anti-nutrients' that your body has to process and breakdown costing energy and imparting no benefit.

Cooking food may destroy some nutrients it also destroys anti-nutrients. This is particularly true with wheat flour

Made perfect sense to me.

Bread has more calories per pound than ice cream

>>12298758
Yes but so is air, water, sunshine, all food, all other people and existence itself.

"Toxic" is a fairly malleable word. Most humans do eat more grains than is optimal for their body. Is that toxic? It won't kill you immediately. It will have long term negative effects on your health. Make up your own mind. The dose is the poison.
