For nearly all of our history, humans consumed no grains, and our bodies are designed to work very well without them. Today, however, grain-based foods are by far the number one source of calories in the American diet. While whole grains can be a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, the toxic amounts we eat contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Plus, most of the grains we eat-even whole wheat-are turned into flour products which have a higher glycemic index than table sugar.
In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about why grains are such a contentious food, how to tackle the pros and cons of whether it belongs in your diet, and which grains are actually okay to eat.

I went to a dietician last week, to help me lose weight She was adamant that I need to eat grains. We went back and forth about it. I’m glad to see this video in my feed.
Don’t do it
If you can’t trust the information source of a dietitian, that’s very disconcerting.🤦🏻♀️
I got rid of the modern grains for 3 years now and My problem went away! Wheat is what giving me major issues like allergies and skin issues I’ve had. I’m pretty much grain free these days
My parents lived to be old. They had a garden. They walked and talked with each other, every day. They laughed and had a sense of humor. They ate eggs, sausage, and home made biscuits. They danced in the kitchen. They read a book a day! and did some sort of cross-word puzzle or brain exercise. It was a different world when I was growing up in the 50's. The sky was blue, our water was clean, the soil wasn't contaminated. It was half the population of humans. Wildlife flourished.
true. the children who grow up now will go into a worse world. eventhough all the technology we have right now it wont be a bright future when it comes to the things you just said.
@@jeanpaultongeren125 technology offering opportunity to decentralize - now more than ever.
A book a day? Must have been some very short books.
The elites ruined Mother Earth. Contaminating the soil etc. I think it was all apart of design to get people dependent on all this man made crap!
A book a day- comics?
Personally IMHO we eat too much. Its my belief that we should eat more simple meals without trying to get everything nutritious that exists in every meal. Keep it plain and simple and eat a variety.
That's very reasonable!
not just for humans but pets too. my 12.5 year old akita was really slowing down, I cut her calories by 20-30% and a feeding window of 3 hours - she's very lean now, outline of ribs showing but still heavily muscled. now she's got so much more energy. constantly playing and bugging me while I try to work lol. she's on a raw meat diet with dehydrated treats - organs etc. zero carbs.
Yes! I saw 7 cardiologists and did keto to lose weight, and it worked. All 6 said no meat because, because my dad and grandparents died exactly the same way and the same age. So I began doing keto and lost weight. I kept carbs below 50, and after 3 weeks, all cravings were gone completely. When I eat carbs, I crave food. When I eat low carbs ,I allow myself to have 1 cheat meal ,within reason, on Saturday or Sunday . I get right back on track. My best blood work has been chicken and fish, vegetables stir fry and buying a fresh cauliflower and frying it in olive oil with bacon and onions ,garlic, ginger, and peppers. I'll put it on a piece of naan bread I make with no sugar. I use stevia packets for my tea and limit those to 6 a day. My blood work is excellent and blood pressure is perfect and I used to be a smoker and cardiologists suggested an angioplasty ,my stress test I didn't pass,but when cardiologist went into my heart there were zero blockages. My follow-up is next week, but the only other thing that it could be is the silent killer I'd never hear of is called microvascular blood vessel disease. Your blood vessels get blocked, and there's no way they can even see that during an angioplasty . I dread having another angioplasty, but with my family history, I'm glad it's over with . I have learned to start eating butter and olive oil, MCT ,coconut, and avacado oil. [ It's similar to if you have an MRI of the brain, and it shows that white matter ,that's your blood vessels, and it causes dementia or alzeimers, etc. It's important to eat omega 3@6 fatty foods . I know a woman who had a perfect scan at 60, and at 62, her brain was covered in white lesions . So remember, our hearts can be perfect, but if those tiny blood vessels in the heart don't get enough oxygen ,then the heart's in trouble. If you have varicose veins, they ask you in OR ,if you have varicose veins, you may be at risk for blood vessel disease .

Good to hear you're on a better path. All best wishes!
@ianstuart5660 Thank you. The Grounding mat really surprised me after watching documentaries [Earthing] and [The Grounded] on youtube. I started using it, and I was shocked that I wasn't reaching for advil. It reduces inflammation naturally, but it worked! Cheers! Michele' 🇨🇦.
This guy is great. He talks fast as he is so passionate about his message. I used to eat half a loaf of bread a day. Stopped in May, except for 2 maybe 3 slices of wholemeal most days. After watching this, it will become a 2 times a week 'treat' I think.
Our issue in Canada is the same, the economy runs on wheat, canola and corn sad to say. Unfortunately Canada Food guide will never tell ppl not to eat these.
not only are we soft-poisoning our own citizens, but also exporting the danger overseas.
Just for your information, the "amber waves of grain" lyric is from the song America the Beautiful. It's not the national anthem, it is just one of the most popular patriotic songs.
At the doctor they gave me a dash diet pamphlet. They said 6 or more servings of carbs a day. Oh hell no. That food pyramid is total B.S. I quit bread since March lost 40 lbs. I eat non starchy vegetables. Of course no sugar either.
The key takeaways are:
1. **Rise in Health Issues with High Grain Consumption:** Hyman correlates the increase in obesity, metabolic diseases, and other health issues in America with the high intake of grains, as recommended by the 1992 food pyramid.
2. **Misleading Marketing and Subsidies:** He criticizes the food industry for deceptive marketing of 'whole grain' products and points out the significant subsidies for grain production in the U.S., which contribute to a diet heavy in processed grains.
3. **High Glycemic Index of Flour:** Even whole wheat flour is highlighted as having a high glycemic index, potentially more harmful than table sugar, and linked to chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
4. **No Essential Carbohydrates:** Hyman argues that unlike essential fatty acids and amino acids, there are no essential carbohydrates. He suggests that the nutrients found in whole grains can be obtained from other sources.
5. **Problems with Modern Wheat:** The development of modern wheat varieties, such as dwarf wheat, which is high in amylopectin and often treated with glyphosate, is criticized. The increased gluten content in modern wheat is also discussed as a potential contributor to autoimmune diseases.
6. **Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease:** A significant portion of the population may be adversely affected by gluten, and an elimination diet is recommended to test for sensitivity.
7. **Misconceptions About Gluten-Free Products:** Hyman warns that gluten-free products can still be unhealthy if they contain refined grains, sugars, and unhealthy additives.
8. **Impact on Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health:** Grains, even 'healthy' ones, can adversely affect blood sugar and metabolic health, especially in individuals with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or obesity.
9. **Gut Health and Overall Well-being:** The discussion links the health of the gut microbiome to a range of conditions and suggests that modern wheat and gluten, among other factors, are partly responsible for prevalent gut-related health issues.
10. **Recommendations for Grain Consumption:** Grains should be treated as an occasional indulgence rather than a staple. When consumed, they should be whole, organic, and preferably gluten-free. People with specific health conditions may benefit from reducing or eliminating grain consumption.
Someone used TammyAI to post a recap but your list is more extensive. Thanks.
@@BrandonGolets Thanks.
My digestive system, skin and movements are healthier since almost completely eliminating grains/bread, not to mention getting rid of bloat.
In Brazil, the national dish is rice and black beans
Rice is probably natural there.
They used to test kids for sensitivities. Wheat, sugar and a few more were on my list at 6. Brother was sicker, so I ate what I liked. As adult, went crazy with bread machine, drive thru rolls and sandwiches. Developed autoimmune diseases.
So great you have mentioned Zea flower, it is very popular here in Greece 🙂
I make my own buckwheat seeded bread. Gluten free, loaded with fiber, yet sits well during digestion phase.
Also loaded with Oxalates!
@@ianstuart5660 I also drink 8 to 12 cups of water a day.
@@margowsky
That will help. I had to greatly cut down highy oxalate foods because of severe pain, especially kidney stones! All best wishes to you!
So true!!
I made my own buckwheat sourdough bread when I went gluten free, and ate a few slices every day. In 6 months I could barely walk with knee pain...did some research and realized it was due to oxalates, as buckwheat is super high. Was also drinking almond milk and eating loads of nuts. Took months to recover after cutting out all grain and lowering nut intake.
Carbs for me are sweet potatoes and white potatoes and works super for me❤
Both are very healthy! Good for you! Dr. Hyman said quinoa is a grain. It is actually a seed.
Honey and fruit
Thank you so much for your help and advice,
I really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best.
Take care and have a good time
I am skeptical, I think there is more to the story
How does the Flourless Sprouted Grain Ezekiel Bread stack up? It's a bit expensive, but I do love it and feel it's better than the other storebought breads. I want to eventually make my own breads, buying the best flour or whatever that I can, but that for now I can't do that all the time. Thanks for all of your hard work and advice, Mark. It's invaluable in this day and age, especially here in America where our diet is literally deadly!
I use this bread also, and would like to know if this is ok.
I eat it too. I keep it in the freezer, and then it goes directly into the toaster. Tastes great. Ezekiel bread is flourless and made from sprouted grains, so I assume it is healthier than other breads...
I use Ezekiel as well as it’s one of the best and healthier breads out there.
There are so many other ways of getting Fibre..I get ill if eat too many carbs, it is life changing eating more veg instead.
What about sourdough bread?
💯👌thank you Dr. Hyman
I gave up grains a long time ago
Good video. Thank you!
I eat wheat berries and farro. Also short grain brown rice and quinoa. I buy them in bulk.
Brown rice and quinoa are high is oxalates. Be careful
Interesting note about "ancient grains". The ancient Egyptians, who certainly ate mostly "ancient grains", had sky-high rates of obesity and T2DM, as well as all of the attendant co-morbidities. They had the most advanced civilization of their era, by far, but they got sicker and sicker over time---to the point of virtual extinction. In all likelihood, that was caused by their very high levels of consumption of "healthy whole grains".
But so know that you both have good Points to Bring to the table
And then some think Buckwheat is a good alternative "grain." It is technically a seed, and very high in oxalate.
Dr Hyman, pls if you see this, i would like to know what treatment protocols you used for post- covid arthritis of the hand. I would be grateful if you respond. Thank you 🙏

I heard freezing and toasting bread helps in the same way that cooling rice does. Is this true?
It's nonsense!
Here’s something I’m about to try for my chronic inflammation since I’ve literally done every bit of your suggestions and still have it. I would like you to comment on future videos on peptides and sarms since I tried those six years ago and they put a spring in my step by the way, I am currently 64 years old and my chronic inflammation is off the chart, so I’m about to try sarms and peptides again.
Your best bet is an elimination diet. It's kind of a pain, but it's the only way to find your specific issue.
This book is a good how to guide.
Healthy Gut, Healthy You: The Personalized Plan to Transform Your Health from the Inside Out
Book by Michael Ruscio
Read my comment below ok.
I cut gluten out. Gliadin actually.
Dairy, sugar.
I only eat real food, not industrialized stuff.
The difference is absurd.
I also take omega 3, coq10 and some other supps. But diet is the base.
What do you mean by you applied every suggestion? What exactly did you try?
What kind of peptides? I keep hearing them talked about but I don’t know which ones do what.
PLEASE DO LEGUMES EXPLANATION TOO ❤
What about sprouted grains such as sprouted oats and sprouted bread?
Fonio is a great grain as well!
What about the starch solution?
Thanks, very informative ❤️.
How about Quinoa? Is it relatively starchy as well? It is said to be the food of ancient Indian tribes here in the Americas.
Is actually a seed & is very healthy!
I get the “farmers we know” brand of organic sprouted rolled oats from Costco. I was just diagnosed with leaky gut a few weeks ago. Would this not be a good thing to have in my shakes every morning? Curious to know what people think.
When changing the diet, how long does it take to see an inflammation reduction when you remove grains, dairy, gluten (PALEO). Does it make a difference in weeks or is it months or is it years? Dr.Hyman said to see if you have a gluten issue itself, it only takes weeks to see after gluten removal.
Everyone is different. When you become Keto adapted and fat adapted that usually takes about 30 days. I lost 36 pounds in 3 months. But I did one meal a day and continue eating this way. I’m 64 no meds perfect health. Some people are more strict about eating. Like me.
ORGANIC no flour Ezekiel sprouted ?
Virtually every civilization in recorded history has had grains as part of their diet. We had no more after the pyramid than before. The real change has been GMO foods and chemicals used on the crops. In addition, video screens and moral decline have altered our lifestyles.
What we should and should not eat changes from year ro year so what yiur saying will be debated
How abt Couscous? I hve lots of it! I also hve ckd3 and Osteoporosis and am Omeprazole for a 3cm hiatal hernia for 25yrs and just learned that they hve been proven to cause kidney disease and osteoporosis esp in my case as I hve never had diabetes. Where do I start re diet? Can't get to see a Nutritionist either.
I have horrible acid reflux and quit using omeprazole. I eat Greek yogurt in the morning and sauerkraut everyday. The sauerkraut works great. Also fermented apple cider vinegar. 2 tsos in tall glass cold ice water. Just sip on that and you can add honey if you like. It works great for me.
Grains causes pains not to mention the glyphosate
Josh access on his website. That oatmeal can be a healthy breakfast. You should listen to it because you saying not to oatmeal. And I love your Podcast And I love watching you. And I believe and what you say
Is millet and wuiona a grain. What else is a grain.
If I do not reheat rice... in the GI still lower? @ 20:48/22:38.
What about lectins on whole grains?
What about Quinoa?
1 MINUTE IS REVIEW (IN THE BREAD) THAT WAS OF NATURE OF GOOD - PROTEIN AND NUTRIENTS'. 👍
Eziekiel bread? Sprouted wheat?
Might be better but you'll probably be better without it!
Japanese and Chinese eat rice everyday, but they are so healthy with no obese, not even overweight.
Korea also eat rice mor/lunch/dinner. but now young people eat western food, bread, etc... which makes people fat, sick, make health problem.
Is steal cut oatmeal cooked with eggs and MCT oil in it ok?
steal cut aotmeal has the lowest glymic index.
Hmm, maybe depends on the individual. I love Oatmeal and I've tried different types trying to see which suits my body best. But I feel rubbish after any of them, Steel cut or Oatbran included. Even overnight oats, my body gets so tired after feeding on them..
I went to Europe for my honeymoon, and people couldn’t believe I was American because I was thin. I found it so disturbing - they just expect Americans to all be fat. I can’t blame them.
Dairy is not bad for many people.
Have you seen the proposed or newly formed food pyramid for us. If its true its absolutly insane.
Josh's Josh Axe
Oxalates..
So what do you think on what he has to says? On it You should listen to what he saying good down side of it just thow might was Listen to it and see what you think he says still cut oats Sprouted oatmeal
❤
Most foods are processed and or have additives. Try to eat natural foods. Lean meats, fresh vegetables, greek yogurt, fermented foods. Stay away from sugar and starch. I did and lost 35 lbs in a couple months.
I've heard that women get get hormone problems on a keto diet. Seems like a little bit of carbon hydrates help with female hormone health. Also, they seem to give some people more energy and power. I don't mean the sugar high but consistently.
Dr. Hyman,I baked my own bread for awhile to try to get healthy bread. Supposedly Jovial Flour out of Great Britain only has 11 strains of wheat in it much closer to the original wheat. It is next to impossible to make good bread with it.. The reasons they have went to engineering the wheat of today are all just like you said. You can get a pancake like piece of bread and it is eatible. The other thing that is just like you said is it is not so very good for you, in my way of thinking. Bottom line is we just have to get hold of ourselves and realize ok, you wanna live a healthy life, or do you want to die young and leave a fat unhealthy memory.
Sugar is the link to dementia.

And going back to the way humans were supposed to eat, this would prevent type 2 diabetes and cancers. Eat the proper human diet !
Grains are cheap, that is why a lot of people who like to eat healthy but are poor (like me), are going to continue to eat them. And I know I'm really lucky, because I don't know how it feels to have nothing to eat.
Thank you for your best advice, but 90+%people don't understand what you saying.
Hi Dr Hyman,in your next videos,could you please talk slower ? I hope you will,it will be very helpful, - thank you.
You can slow the speed yourself. Click on the cog item, scroll to Playback speed, scroll to O.75, and click.
@@SuzanneU ,Thank you !
You are correct, doctor, the Bible does state the eating of bread and yes, what was eaten then is not what the masses eat now. The bread the Bible depicts is unleavened bread made with grains that were pure, clean, and not messed with as ours is - they would use whole grains and either grind it themselves or have it done, mixed with very little oil (which was pure) and cooked fresh every day.
You mentioned The Blue Zones. There is one in Loma Linda CA. Have you been there and checked out the people who live there, what they eat, and how healthy they are - how long they live? If not, you might consider it.
Yes, the wheat we have now has been compromised. Just as the soil has been compromised with chemicals that have destroyed it so nothing can grow in it that is healthy or has any vitamins or minerals in the so-called food it renders.
Eat organic, where possible, or at the very least eat non-GMO.
People in the Bible ate leavened bread as well as flatbreads. Jesus compared the growth of the kingdom of God to the rising of leavened bread - see Matthew 13:33. Leavened bread is only forbidden during the period of Passover.
Nice post! I agree with all you've said!
united states have too much of grain, the best way to get rid of it is to say its the most healthiest its even the number 1 in the basic food group. all about money
I switched to organic spouted wheat flour to replace white and regular wheat flour. I cook with buckwheat flour for my pancakes. I think it's all the sugar and fast foods killing the American people. Whole grain bread in moderation is healthy. Drinking those ton of sodas in your lifetime will destroy your bones plus give you diabetes plus the ton of sugar from cakes, candy, ice cream, cookies, little Debbie's high in sugar and carbs, hostess high in fat and carbs and the list goes on. I eat two slices of whole grain bread just about everyday with scrambled eggs and some bacon. This want kill you it's the sugar and fast foods killing us. The fat and high sodium in fast food is the leading causes of heart problems. No one cooks anymore and this is just sad for so many young kids. It's off to the sonic and macdonald's to make life easier but look what's it's doing to our younger generation. My mom always cooked our meals and were mostly from the garden. The thing is you can cook a healthy meal with very little money and think of how much you spend every month on fast food. You can cook a meal in less than a hour. I do it all the time. I guess our kids will have to learn to cook because if they don't their life is cut short.
I LOVE Pasta but I only eat NON GMO organic, I am definitely NOT overweight at all. DON'T TELL ME ITS BAD Dr Hyman I am fit as a fiddle~
It's really great that you can eat that way, but most of us can't. For every one like you, there are hundreds of us.
You contradict yourself in less than a minute in the video about biblic bread. This is why you should better ensure your titles aren't misleading.
Texting
Its caused a lot of sicknesses
Eat lots of veg.
Sorry not best
So disappointed in you! Societies have lived for thousands of years on mostly grains and legumes!
Obviously he is a shill for someone who wants you to eat their products and not grain. I unsubscribed as I am tired of his crap.
I've made the same point w all these grain haters.
I believe it's the crap they grow and spray on the grains thats caused the problem!
Before commenting, listen the video
@@mrpush2532 yep. But grains inherently are healthy. I’m so sick of this quack science.
The grains grown today (GMO’d, hybrids, covered in pesticides) are NOT the grains people ate thousands of years ago. Look at the changes that happened to humans after grains were introduced - smaller brains, cavities/dental problems, people got shorter. Dr. Hyman is right on 💯
Obesity is NOT caused by whole grains - its caused by processed food, i.e., PROCESSED grains. Lumping whole grains with processed grains (junk food) is foolish. The FDA currently recommends about a quarter of our diet be WHOLE grains, for good reason. Much research has gone into the new FDA 'Healthy Eating Plate' guideline (notice that NO red meat is recommended. The KETO diet is a cancer, heart disease diet :0 ) Whole grains are nutritious. The fiber actually REMOVES fat from our bodies and cleans the colon. I normally find your videos informative, but I couldn't get past the intro on this one..
The same FDA that fast tracked in 9 months the "safe and effective " shot? 😅
@@annjames1837 The current FDA food plate was hardly 'fast tracked'. It is the result of a lawsuit by the nonprofit, Physician's Committee (the previous FDA advisors were all in the pockets of industry). The new resulting food guide is backed by years of scientific studies.
Are you referring to Covid shots?! The science behind those shots were already known - they saved thousands of lives and were instrumental in re-opening our economy. Unlike the Chinese vaccine..
Eliminating all grains has completely reversed my awful perimenopausal symptoms. Trying to reintroduce them results in horrendous night sweats. I'll stick with avoiding grains thanks. Avoiding them has also cured my longterm constipation, and I was eating high fibre, low processed.
Watch/read Dr. William Davis, he’s a cardiologist. Just a warning, one of his books is called “Wheat Belly”. I eat zero grains. Instead of grains, I instead eat cruciferous vegetables. Eat red meat 2-3 times per week and average about 4 dozen eggs per month. The key was dropping processed sugar and wheat and avoid seed oils. The old FDA pyramid is upside down. Grains should be the smallest amount to eat.
Keto is a cancer and heart disease diet! 😂 What nonsense.
