This is good news, not bad news
The information that was referenced was titled: “Consumption Of Whole Grain Falls Short Of Guidelines”. The report went on to say that few adolescents and young adults ate the USDA recommended three daily servings.
Dr. Eades is absolutely right. Grains, all of them, are inflammatory agents in our diet. They contribute to the huge imbalance in Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acid ratio that is causing so much disease and suffering in our western diets. The USDA is so far off base they are actually promoting eating that produces major epidemics of disease like obesity, coronary artery disease, diabetes, etc. Their recommendations are actually causing and contributing to the problems they say they are trying to prevent by their recommendations.
Shame on the USDA and all the rest. The data and accurate information is not even equivocal on this subject, but the insanity continues. This continues to be one of the great Information Cascades that infects this area that kills and injures many people every year.
