Which Grain and What Illness?
We all eat grain products like breads, cakes and cereals.
In fact eating grains has long been consider a healthy choice…
If you look closely at grain recommendations on your typical food pyramid, according to food guide pyramid…
Grains are what you “should” be eating the most to maintain a healthy body.
The RDA recommendations do not consider any food to be harmful for you.
Now, RDA recommendations are government agency indicators of food groups.
Any particular food that could be harmful to your health can financially affect that industry.
The government does not want to destroy any industry even if it is harmful to your health.
For example: Not surprising to look at the smoking industry, it’s still alive.
In medical and alternative medicine circles, celiac disease is well known for being the cause of numerous detrimental body conditions.
In its basic form, celiac disease is the damage of the intestinal lining by gluten proteins which come from grains (the bottom of the pyramid).
Let’s get technical for a moment and say the specific proteins in the gluten that damage the intestine are called “gliadin.”
What you need to know is when you eat gliadin it acts like an invading substance which activates your body’s immune system to destroy and eliminate the invader.
The invader which is found in our favorite food group, bread and cereals.
Celiac disease is caused by eating an excess of gluten.
Where is gluten found?
Gluten is found in grain products made from:
- Wheat
- Rye
- Barley
- Kamut
- Ttriticale
- Oats
- Spelt…
Today, it’s well documented and established throughout medical research that one in approximately one hundred people have celiac disease.
Many people the disease without having any symptoms…
The continual use and eating of detrimental grains will eventually bring forth symptoms.
People with celiac disease can expect to have illnesses associated or connected with:
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Attention deficit disorders
- Learning disorders
- Infertility
- Auto immune diseases
- Osteoporosis
- Brain disorders
- Neurological diseases
- Premature death
- Miscarriages
- Premature births
- Chronic liver diseases
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Food allergies
- Chronic fatigue
- Malnutrition
- And much much more…
When your intestinal lining is damage by gluten, your overall health is damaged.
You immune system is activated to prevent further intestinal damage causing your overall response to other body crisis to diminish.
Your ability to fight off other diseases is diminished.
Your ability to absorb nutrients from your food is reduced leading to nutritional differences.
How does gluten create so many problems in the body?
As gluten moves into the intestine, it is digested and broken down into small protein molecules called peptides.
Peptide consist of 2-3 amino acids bound together and free amino acids.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks that make up protein.
Once digestion is complete, peptides and free amino acids easily move into the intestinal wall cell structure and then into your blood stream.
This is what happens in a “normal” healthy person…
Over many years of eating gluten, the intestinal cell structure deteriorates.
Digested protein no longer passes through the cells walls but passes between cells and into the blood.
These holes in the intestinal walls is what is know as “leaky gut syndrome”…
Had enough or are you still curious to finding the grain that causes illness?
