Oxygen can be pretty bad for you too. I'm surprised people haven't stopped breathing...
i did.
i did a 7 minute oxygen fast.
it didnt go well. after only 3 minutes i started to turn a shade of blue...by the 5 minute mark i was dizzy. i dont remember the 7 minute mark, but thats how long the doctor told me i was without oxygen.
i went back to breathing. it seems safer than the alternative.
I do, like, 3 second on, 3 second off, intermittent oxygen fasting. I highly recommend it!
*snort*
thanks, i'll try that!
i went lowOx for awhile...didnt help.
Nooooo...the OxFlu makes me listless and then, sadly, dead.
That's so sad, I've had fantastic results, and only a few side effects (you know; fainting and then death)0 -

Grains are going to get you. Grains are going to get you. Not another peep. Time to go to sleep.0

We also need to watch out for Dihydrogen Monoxide! The FDA doesn't even seem to CARE about this deadly compound!

Anyone will believe a documentary provided it has scary music in the background, sounds scientific, and has at least SOME truth to it, albeit misrepresented.0

Grains are not really the devil i suppose, they have carbs which gives energy, I guess its just about excess. What trips me out are the phylates that block absorption of good stuff. I didnt even know those were a thing
Antinutrients found in grains include digestive enzyme (protease and amylase) inhibitors, phytic acid, hemagglutinins, phenolic compounds, and tannins. Protease inhibitors, phytic acid, phenolic compounds, and saponins were shown to reduce the risk for cancers of the colon and breast in animals. Phytic acid, lectins, phenolic compounds, amylase inhibitors, and saponins were also shown to lower one or more of the following substances in plasma: glucose, insulin, cholesterol, and triacylglycerol (13).
In grains, protease inhibitors make up 5–10% of the water-soluble protein and are concentrated in the endosperm and embryo. According to Wattenberg (26), protease inhibitors have inhibitory actions including both suppression of the expression of neoplasia in cells already exposed to a carcinogenic agent and inhibition of tumor promotion.

Hear both sides of the story then make you own decision if grains are for you or not.

Also noting that the majority of Asian cultures consume rice. And there's a damn lot of us running around.

Once again its not how I am making it sound. I dont believe the documentary. I ate bread today, and some tiger shrimp ravioli (thats pasta, made from grains) for dinner. I do not agree with the film. I know documentaries are one sided. Be a crafty consumer, come to your own conclusions. I was just wondering how people felt about what the film said. I didnt know about phylates (now I do) and wanted more info.0 -
Oh, look another person who watched a documentary put on by biased parties and now suddenly knows everything. Tell me more of the error of my ways, please! :noway:0

You mean phytates.
And unless you eat ONLY grains they are not an issue - phytate-binding deficiencies are only observed in very poor diets, usually in "third" world countries.
They are a thing.
Now google Lactoferrin.
Another thing. A binding and transport thing.
Oxalate? A thing that blocks other things.
Alcohol is a thing too, and it blocks all the same things.
Don't worry about it - eat food.0 -
Excess is the devil.0

That is true, civilization is probably a good thing. However says the man on the TV. In the vast timeline of human existence, grain based argiculture has only been practiced for .01%. Just before that was a peak in our species brain developement and since we rely on grains in much of our food, our brain development has stagnated. I guess some anthropologists possited that out diet of high protein and forraged goods helped evolve our brains and now we have less variety, making our brains kind of lazy on the advancements. So if we stop eating grains its only a matter of time before telekinesis...ha
^^ That is hilarious!0 -
Between this and everything I've read in the forums lately about the evils of fruit, I'm starting to suspect a conspiracy.0

This is specifically addressing the claims of paleo proponents from a scientific standpoint, but as grains-as-devil is part of the paleo stance I thought it appropriate to post here.0 -
Grains are the devil! Look at what they've done to our bananas!0
