What happens when a person eats refined grains over time?
Eating refined grains has dire effects on your health. It directly contributes to many health issues like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and a host of auto-immune disorders which are more common than most people believe. There are many people diagnosed with a wheat allergy or celiac disease who, because they are told they can no longer eat wheat or gluten, begin to start eating breads and other grain products containing alternative grains such as buckwheat, quinoa, millet, amaranth, sorghum flour, rice flour, and even almond or hazelnut flour, or soy flour. The problem with “alternative” grains or flours is that since they are processed and nutrients are still locked in the food (due to phytic acid content), over time consuming those foods will also cause health problems.
