by Sue Becker<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems that grains are being attacked on all fronts.\u00a0 I get articles forwarded to me at a minimum of one per week.\u00a0 If you are like me, you may be growing a bit weary, not to mention confused by it all.\u00a0 I want to encourage each and every one of you reading this, to please pray before you read the information being presented, both from me or anyone else.<\/p>\n What I have determined from everything I have read so far, is that most of the anti grain information is based on a false premise – evolution.\u00a0 The latest article I read (by\u00a0Dr. Loren Cordain, a professor at Colorado State University and an expert on Paleolithic lifestyle ) stated:<\/p>\n \u201cThe degree to which the adverse effects are expressed depends largely on how long that species has had to co-evolve with that particular form of plant food it is eating. Since humans have only been consuming unsprouted grains and beans in large amounts for approximately 500 generations, we still suffer far more than certain rodents and birds, who have had thousands of generations longer to adapt to this way of eating.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n “Grains are the seeds of a plant. They’re its reproductive material, and plants don’t make their reproductive material to give away for free to other animals. If they did they’d become extinct, and so the evolutionary strategy that many plants, particularly cereal grains have taken to prevent predation is to evolve toxic compounds so that the predator of the seeds can’t eat them, so that they can put their seeds in the soil where they’re meant to be to grow a new plant and not in the gut of an animal to feed it.”<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0These statements are completely contradictory<\/strong> to what the Bible states as fact. God gave seeds to man for food when He created them, not later, after they evolved millions of years from some other animal.<\/p>\n Another misleading premise is the hunter\/gatherer propaganda.\u00a0 I do not deny that in more uncivilized cultures people groups have lived mostly from the land – hunting wild game and gathering wild seeds.\u00a0 However, part of the curse given to Adam, because of his disobedience, was \u201cby the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground\u201d. Genesis 3:19\u00a0 Sounds like farming to me,\u00a0 hoeing and pulling weeds are a sweaty job to ensure yield from a garden.<\/p>\n Another term mentioned frequently by the anti grain proponent is a Paleolithic diet or lifestyle.\u00a0 Again this is an evolutionary term referring to an ancient people group that lived thousands of years ago, from whom humans evolved.<\/p>\n To say that grains are not nearly as nutrient dense as fruit and vegetables is ridiculous.\u00a0 In my studies over the years of food sources of specific vitamin and minerals, I am always amazed at how many list grains as a predominate source.\u00a0\u00a0 Fruits and vegetables are great sources of vitamins and minerals, as well, but they rot and decay, loosing their nutritional value every day they are stored.\u00a0 Not so with grains.\u00a0 They are perfectly storable and retain all their nutritional value when they are left whole and intact.\u00a0 God told Joseph to store grain, not fruits and vegetables, for a reason.\u00a0 In fact if you reread the story – you will find there were other foods available during the time of famine, just no grain, except in Egypt.\u00a0 Grains are a critical part of any healthy diet.<\/p>\n Again I encourage everyone to carefully consider what you read and believe.\u00a0 I personally believe there may come a day when grains are our only reliable food source.\u00a0 They do not have to be picked green or radiated to be stored.\u00a0 Organic grains are not genetically modified.\u00a0 Grains will hold their nutritional value for years and in case of a famine, stored grains may be sprouted in a small space, for a supply of fresh greens.\u00a0 So be careful \u201cgoing against the grain\u201d on this issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Sue Becker It seems that grains are being attacked on all fronts.\u00a0 I get articles forwarded to me at a minimum of one per week.\u00a0 If you are like me, you may be growing a bit weary, not to mention<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":529,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.breadbeckers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
