Proteins
in
the
wheat,
like
gluten,
can
cause
a
whole
assortment
of
problems
for
some
people.
You’ve
probably
heard
of
celiac
disease,
where
the
person
is
allergic
to
the
gluten.
These
people
suffer
from
abdominal
pain
or
discomfort,
bloaBng,
and
diarrhea
when
they
eat
gluten.
Did
you
know
there
are
non-‐celiac
gluten
intolerances
as
well?
These
people
may
suffer
from
headaches,
joint
pain,
mood
disorders,
and
more,
all
because
of
gluten.
Other
grains
like
rice,
oats,
and
corn
may
also
be
contaminated
with
gluten
at
the
factory.
Perhaps
the
scariest
part
is
that
a
large
majority
of
people
who
are
gluten
intolerant
don’t
even
know
it;
they
have
no
outward
symptoms,
yet
their
insides
are
riddled
with
inflammaBon
and
they
are
on
the
fast-‐track
to
ill-‐health,
all
without
knowing
it.
Glucose
One
major
reason
to
avoid
grains
is
because
they
are
very
high
in
processed
carbohydrates.
Your
body
turns
carbs
into
glucose,
which
gets
stored
to
be
used
for
energy.
If
you
don’t
use
those
glucose
stores,
that
glucose
is
stored
as
fat.
Processed
sugars
are
extremely
high
in
glucose
as
well.
The
CDC
says
that
sugars
added
to
foods
has
been
linked
to
a
lowered
level
of
essenBal
micronutrients
and
an
increase
in
body
weight.
Processed
Oils
Processed
oils
and
parBally-‐hydrogenated
and
hydrogenated
vegetable
oils
(also
called
trans
fat)
are
simply
not
good
for
you.
They
cause
inflammaBon
and
unhealthy
levels
of
Omega
6
compared
to
Omega
3.
Oils
to
avoid
are
all
types
of
margarine,
soybean
oil,
canola
oil,
“vegetable”
oil,
corn
oil,
and
sunflower/
safflower
oil.
